Can we make a list of pirated licensees
If you remember, i pulled pirated licensees straight from Mach3.exe

It was discussed with Artsoft some while back and decided that it would not be a good idea.

Hi ZASto,

The list is becoming a book

Show"N"Tell ( What you have made with your CNC machine.) / Re: Cycloid Reducer.

« on: February 02, 2020, 01:54:04 AM »

Hi Russ,

I am sure it would make a great project and I am sure it will be fun.

Cycloid reducers are easy and cheap to make so they are generally the choice for the industrial robot arm joints. Lots of them about but not often seen perhaps.

I did make a video of this one running only to discover that Win10 does not support old DV camcorders. However, not to be beaten…
Paul still has a WinXP setup so he used a dashcam or phone to put a very short (poor quality) video onto an SD card which he then used with Windows Movie Maker and uploaded the result to his YouTube a/c.   https://youtu.be/u3Mh1E4GgHE     it's only a few seconds so don't blink or you'll miss it

Show"N"Tell ( What you have made with your CNC machine.) / Cycloid Reducer.

« on: February 01, 2020, 08:09:58 AM »

I have, for many years now, been fascinated by the mathematical complexity yet mechanical simplicity of the Cycloid Reducer drive. No sooner had I mentioned this to Art Fenerty and he added a Wizard to his free software Vexx for designing and creating the necessary parts to build a cycloid reducer.

I have started out by making a basic 5:1 reducer and it works beautifully. Obviously bearings would be needed for the shaft and the eccentric if was to run at any speed but hey-ho it’s all a learning experience for me.   

Those interested can download Vexx from Art’s website here;  https://gear2motion.com/

You may also want to look at Auggie (another free software from Art) and maybe, if you have an interest in clocks or other mechanisms, consider Gearotic Motion.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
Mach3 requires the M03 (only once at the start of the Gcode) in order to enable the M11/M10 commands.

Sorry but I have not been able to discover anything helpful.

Mach3 runs your Gcode just fine (M03 added to Gcode)  – without any hiccups and at various feed rates.
I don’t have a UC300 here to test but your code runs OK using a UC400ETH but I am not sure if the Mach3 plugin is the same for both these controllers.
(I do not have slaved X axis but that should not make any difference to the smooth running of the Gcode).

Which version of Mach3 are you using ?

Please .zip and post your problem Gcode file.
