FAQs / Re: Problem with X axis

« on: February 07, 2019, 05:05:16 AM »

Initially I would carefully inspect the cable connections for your motor that is badly behaving - plug/socket and wire for open circuit of one connection. Then I would take the controller box apart and visually inspect everything very thoroughly, looking for bad solder joints or solder bridges across tracks, terminals etc. and all the plugs / sockets for continuity.

If nothing is found I would replace the controller with one of better quality (US or European manufacture not Chinese).

It sounds like you have identified the fault as the X axis driver in your 6040 controller.

Hi Franselferink,

Please do keep us informed of your experience with XHC.

I am with Craig on this one, XHC do leave a lot to be desired when it comes to customer / product support but I suspect that they are just retailing a product (or products) which originated from another manufacturer and they really do not understand the technical aspects of what they are selling.

I would be inclined to make a secure backup of the Mach3 folder (just in case) then re-install Mach3 over the top of the existing installation (sounds like you have lost or overwritten one of the files Mach requires for it's boot operation).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 gcodes file

« on: February 03, 2019, 10:48:54 AM »

When you load your Gcode select ‘Files of type:’ and choose your file extension *.tap, *.txt, etc, etc.

There are many Gcode files to practice with in the .zip file here https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=18345.msg126486#msg126486

The Gcode folder you have lost is attached – just unzip and copy the folder Gcode to your Mach3 folder.

Video P*r*o*b*i*n*g / Re: Paralell Port Setting

« on: February 03, 2019, 01:55:43 AM »

Where in Win7 do I find the 0x? to input in the Ports and Pins settings. I have a pci add on card, it shows it in Device Manager, but dont see any number that looks like that.

Look at the Properties for your PCI Card in Device Manager. Under Resources use the first address shown for I/O Range (ie. 0378) Mach will automatically add the 0x.
