Hey Tiger,
    As far as your step per units, they need to be set to what ever number will give you one reveloution I think. I think it gives trouble if you set your steps per to= one degreee I think, not certain though so maybe someone will verify this. To use the diameter as the feedrate, go into config, toolpath. See pic below. two check boxes there. Then you can enter a diameter in the settings page for the diameter of the axis. I haven't got a rotary table set up yet so I'm not certain of the above but hopefully it will help.

Mach3 and G-Rex / Re: GREX and Direct Connect Via Second Net Card.. HELP!

« on: May 27, 2007, 10:04:21 PM »

Ok Guys, I got the Grex and the second network card straight I think. Will know how well it all works in a day or two. I had to set the IP for the second card to a different family and I had to make a change in the advanced tab, DNS. I have attached a couple of screen shots to help explain.

This threard may help. If not we will try and get you sorted either way. As Brian said, it might be best to use the plugin.

Well, I saw on of these set up for a pendant. They are very neat. I think they run about $120.00. My friend says the USB model is the one to get. Here is another link. It shows more products. I think I saw a keypad, joystick combo. Is that a shuttle pro I see in the middle?

Thanks Guys, I think I have it sorted. I'm not certain yet but I will find out later today after an Air show.   I will post all of my findings soon. I think it was the frimware I had loaded.

Does anyone know of a way to switch from one (Grex) profile to another (BOB) profile easily. I just got my Grex responding and seems to be loaded as it should be. I have a BOB profile that I was running on before and still will from time to time. Since I got the Grex loaded and responding, my BOB looks like a Christmas tree.  Even if I have to delete and reload plugins and such. It's more than obvious I need to practice getting a Grex set up. 


Mark and Hood, You are both right. LOL 

Wayne, what did you type in to get that screen full of info.? How are the cublocs working?

I think I got it. The leds seem to be responding to the right keys. I should know more in a couple of days.
