Kerry,

Do you use the standard DXF Tool or the Professional version ?

I am thinking that at $190 the professional version does seem a little steep.

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: Impact engraving plugin

« on: January 13, 2011, 04:20:55 AM »

Stitos,

Having tried with a portable oscilloscope, it is obvious that a much more fancy digital, recording piece of equipment will be necessary here.
All I have been able to confirm, so far, is that the pulse width is indeed 40uS and the Pulse Repetition Frequency at white is 0% increasing with shade to approx 90% at black but I have been unable to accurately measure the gap (pause) between the edges (join) of each pixel in the image but this does vary with feedrate.
Not much help really but I will try with another scope when time permits.

Ntlaser,

Further to my earlier post - The latest plugin has not yet been posted to the downloads page so after you have installed the posted version download the file 'engraving nov11-2010' from here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=16446.0;attach=23238 and copy the 'engraving.dll' file to your Mach3/Plugins folder. This will replace the previous version and give you the latest one. (not sure if that all makes sense but I have tried my best to describe the process  )

Stitos,

As soon as I can I will take some measurements with an oscilloscope and report back.

Hello Art how can I load the engrave file?Thanks

Ntlaser,

Downloads section, Plugins, Engraving Trigger plugin, Save the Engraving m3p file, Run the m3p file.
On restart of Mach the plugin will be available.

Stitos,

Please accept my apologies but I really do not understand your question - could you perhaps rephrase it please.

My apologies Grumpy, it was Phil's phone I was referring to. I can just imagine a Tapatalk plugin.

Hi Tony,

Very professional looking machine you have constructed there and it works just as well as it looks.

Please keep us posted on the things that you, and your buddy make on your machines.

Phil,

Has it got an LPT port for running Mach ?
