Hi dsplastx,

Welcome to the forum.

Nice machine you have there, looks like you are going to have lots of fun making stuff.  

For what you get it is not expensive but as well as the license for Mach3 you need a separate license for the Newfangled wizards if you want to use them. Personally, I get by without the NFS wizards but it is perhaps a matter of individual choice.

FAQs / Re: No file/load dxf option, only ENTIB. Whats this?

« on: October 21, 2011, 07:22:47 AM »

So we don't really know for certain what "Entib" is actually for or exactly why it appears in the File menu

Hi Randy,

Some more details on your setup would be useful.

What type of breakout board and stepper controllers are you using ?

Have you checked that the step and direction pin settings within Mach are correct for the X and Y axis ?

Also - check your keyboard regional settings as the X and Y jog keys (arrow keys) may not be operating correctly.

Stephen,

Connect the EStop wires, one to GND and the other to any spare input pin (pin 10 would be good). Then configure Mach / Ports and Pins / Input signals / EStop to Port #1, Pin 10.
