Hi George,

Which motion controller (that does not support the M11/M10 command set) are you using with your C11 breakout board ?

In that case you would program in C / C++ and there is no source code, as such, available but blank plugins are available to get you started. There are also tutorials, here is one you can download; https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7922.0;attach=6167

Hi Amator,

Welcome to the forum.

I have absolutely no idea just what those screen functions were intended to achieve - I have certainly never used them.

That is a shame, so it looks like you are left with the option suggested by TPS of retrofitting a new controller and stepper drivers etc.

It's not too much of a job  (I did it a while back with a small milling machine where the manufacturers would not share information on their electronics because I was not and educational establishment) and all the required parts are readily available. It could be a fun educational project ?

I am guessing that your machine has a 25 way 'D' type connector which will connect to a PC's LPT Parallel Port. In that case it should operate from Mach3 as the manual implies.

My neighbour's young daughter has just told me that Dogs can't use an MRI scanner but Catscan.

Hi Jeremy,

Unfortunately Novusun is one of the businesses listed in our Hall of Shame for Mach3 Licence violation. As a result this forum does not support assistance with any of it's products unless you are a genuine Mach3 or Mach4 license holder.

I think the self-destruct is just a matter of time. 

I have just finished (well almost finished) transferring my Star Trek collection to NAS and started watching the Voyager series again.

Back in 1995 they showed the… Tablet, Laptop, Flat Screen, Bluetooth equivalent and Computer voice communication (Alexa) for personal Music, environmental control, etc. and many more technological advancements which nowadays we take for granted.

I wonder, did the Star Trek writers foresee the future or did our inventors watch Star Trek ?
