Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: File Zipping

« on: March 21, 2009, 10:13:39 PM »

I don't know about 2000. I did find a link that may help though.

http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/curriculum/thread/a8cbc79f-9aaa-47ac-a5e6-a5d6594fb7b8/

The trial download of Winrar is the very first link on this page.   http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm  I don't know if it works for 200 or not. No way to test that here.

Keygrabber is an executable found in your Mach3 folder. This is where you will configure your emulations. From there you open your Mach profile and the gamepad should work. Also, you can edit you shortcut to you Mach profile and it will then open your profile through keygrabber when you click on your desktop shortcut. That is covered in the thread.

Look at the top of this page, support, documentation, G100 Set Up Guide. Some of the normal analog controlled features such as Feed Rate Override will not work with the G100. It was a hope at one time but never matured.

General Mach Discussion / Re: How do i setup Mach3 to control a laser with TTL input?

« on: March 20, 2009, 09:38:11 PM »

Borge, find out more about the control for the laser if you can. If it is a ttl signal it should be a piece of cake I would think. I'm only guessing here but I would think you could set it up either as a plasma since they have many of the same characteristics or maybe a couple of custom macros or customise the M3 for spindle/laser on and M5 for spindle/laser off. If the later would be the case useing a standard post processor would work fine I would think. Hopefully someone who has already done this will give a little more information but I have no doubts it could be done.

I haven't but I would think the set up would be similar to the one in this thread.

You will go to config., ports and pins, inputsignals, Oem Trigger and set the pin you want to use there. Then go to config., system hot keys and assign and oem number to the trigger.  See attached pics.
