Could you .zip and attach the .tap file you are having problems with (it needs a unique name to attach to forum).

General Mach Discussion / Re: How to reset Mach3 to the original complete default

Is any command to cut power to the motors after the end of the code?

Not within Mach3 but most motor drivers (ie.. TBA6560 etc.) incorporate a reduced stand-by current setting.

Best to adjust your driver current setting so that your motors outside case temp never exceeds 60 deg.C (even when stationary for long periods).

is there some difference in this regard on the register version and the demo one?

There is no difference between the licensed and demo versions of Mach3 in this respect.

Trotz vorhandener Lizenz und der Lizenzdatei Mach1Lic.dat, der Lizenznehmername wird auch in der Kopfzeile von Mach3 angezeigt, arbeitet Mach3 nur im Demo-Modus und bleibt bei Zeile 500 einfach stehen.

Is the license registered in your name ?
If not what name is it registered in ?

 All of the setting-up information for the UC100 is here; http://cncdrive.com/UC100.html

Use their installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Are you using the UC100 connected to a USB port on your PC and does it look exactly like this or is it slightly different ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Getting Mach3 on new PC (revisited)

« on: August 08, 2020, 01:06:26 AM »

I  need to install Mach3 to a newer computer and I need some help.  The old computer seems to have problems.    I bought the sofware and installed it 10 years ago.   Now I don't remember how to do an install.   
Where do I find the key  MACH1LIC.DATFILE and where do I copy it to.  How do I start the install?      Thanks   Jim Glass

You can download Mach3 from here;  https://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Mach3Version3.043.exe
Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install - if necessary refer to the Mach3 manual for further details. https://www.machsupport.com/help-learning/product-manuals/

Once installed copy across your license (Mach1Lic.dat) from your original Mach3 folder on your original HDD to your new Mach3 folder on your new HDD.

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Parallel Port issue

« on: August 07, 2020, 01:34:02 AM »

One of the old rules when Mach3 Parallel Port operation was the norm.

Mach3 should be up and running before your machine (and attachments) are switched on. Machine (and attachments) must be switched off before Mach3 is closed.

However, there is no reason why you cannot add additional electronics to act as an interlock and prevent unwanted operation of peripheral's.

Any chance of a sample piece of code/file.

If it's any help, StarTrek.tap in the .zip file here;  https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=18345.msg126486#msg126486 is a Mach4 laser vector drawing.
