Tangent Corner / Understanding.

Once we have all become deeply involved with Mach4 and LUA scripts programming (and of course, all the logical thinking) how do we learn to talk with the necessary grammatical commas in the right places ?

His wife asks him to pop to the corner store and buy a pint of milk and as an after thought, says that if they have any eggs then please get half a dozen.
When he returns, his wife asks him why he has 6 bottles of milk. His reply, “they have eggs”.

From what you say this does not appear to be a Mach3 problem.
My suggestion is that you contact the manufacturers (or suppliers) of your machine and ask their customer support for advice.

Just in case anyone is curious about the G97…

Constant Surface Speed never really worked correctly in Mach3 and it’s implementation was eventually discontinued. Having the G97 active ensures the spindle will be operating in RPM mode.

Graham Waterworth describes the relevant commands in this thread; http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,5494.msg37162.html#msg37162

So what is the cheapest way to get this guy going?
So many of you guys have built many machines, helped
others and so on.
I'm just familiar with gecko, and CNC4PC stuff. Somewhere there
are some suggestions for a LPT board pretty cheap that works.

Hi Bob,

According to forum stats. The OP has returned to the forum (presumably to read this thread) on a daily basis but he has failed to provide any of the information that has been requested by our forum Members that have been trying to help him.

Looks like you have perhaps selected an incorrect post-processor in SheetCAM ?
