General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach to DeskCNC?

I may be naive or ignorant of the facts but this sounds very very good news to me.

A way to get away from the LPT for not much more than the cost of a BOB and stay with Mach.

General Mach Discussion / Mach to DeskCNC?

« on: September 30, 2006, 07:02:53 PM »

Heard a rumour that Art is going to write a module, or whatever it's called, to make
Mach run a DeskCNC controller board.

Any truth in this?

This would be very good news to my way of thinking.
An alternative to the problematic printer port at a very good price.

So I am hoping this is a good rumour.

Yay!!!  Screens fixed for me on 2.0b also.

The problem of the slow running frequency count that appeared in Ver 2.0a has also gone away.

Thanks very much Art and others involved.

It seems to have been around longer than me

This post back in August asked about it.

Yes all the individual wizards are free, just the conversational from New Fangled Solutions that you pay a small extra for.
Hood

And well worth it too

So getting back to Mig29's question, shouldn't he have the wizards. Can't he use the Rectangular Pocketing wizard?

The conversational wizards are licensed seperately by New Fangled Solutions.
 Have you tried importing the DXF with LazyCAM?
Hood

Can I jump in here with a question?

I bought the New Fangled licence and am happy I did but aren't the rest of the individual wizards included with Mach?

Example: Pocket Cutting, CircularBolt Pattern, Circular Pocket, Cut Arc, etc

What is your  resolution set to ?

Tried these:

800 x 600  Unusable, General Config does not even fit on screen.

1024 x 768 Better but has the problem that I first described  (my preferred screen size)

1280 x 1024 Better still on my desk top (not possible on my laptop)

Yes Brian I did try that and also without that checked.

I have been checking through the wizards and it is your exellent newfangled set and a few
of the others where it is a problem. The "Write" wizard is the worst.

The Mach screens are OK, that may be just that they don't have any buttons right at the bottom.

Hood do you mean there are alt screen sets already in my Mach3 folder (standard instalation)

Or do you mean I should download another screen set from the Mach website?

Yeah I had that set (and tried without).

That setting just starts the program with screen maximised I believe.

My problem is that part of the screen is hidden behind the standard windows tool bar.
