G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: Can I use google skechup phlatscript G-code on mach3 software??? How?

« on: June 18, 2012, 12:44:17 PM »

Hi Rune,

The GCode is fine and this is not really a Mach3 issue because the problem appears to be with your use of Sketchup. You have no material size set so there is nothing to make.

My best suggestion is that you check out the Sketchup tutorials in order to find out how to select the area of the drawing you wish to create the GCode for. The Phlatforum will have all the information you need but you will have to search for it.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rune,

There should be no problem using the Phlatscript GCode with Mach3.
If you post your code I will take a look to see why you are having a problem.

Hi Mohammad,

There are a couple of solutions but before making any suggestions can you please confirm that you now have the proper Mach license in your own name.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 specific virus ???

« on: June 15, 2012, 03:30:05 AM »

I know exactly what you mean Terry but in my case the most virulent Virus is probably me - tinkering with setting I should have learnt by now to leave well alone.

I was reading an article, from years gone by, where customers complained that new vehicles were no longer supplied with a ‘tool kit’. The makers claimed that their new models were now so reliable that the tool kit was no longer necessary.
I have a sneaky feeling that not providing their customers with a tool kit probably caused the largest, all time, single increase in vehicle reliability.

Very neat Dave, nice job.

(I had to Google 'Tiki Torch' because I thought you were making 'Petrol Bomb' holders  )

FAQs / Re: Coolant On at start up

Hi Quin,

It is usual to have Mach turn off all outputs (as a safety precaution) when a stop is encountered. Perhaps changing the active state (High / Low) of the outputs you use for these functions may be the way forward (reconfiguring the logic switching of the connected devices).
