G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Mach1 mill misses to drill holes

« on: March 22, 2015, 04:41:51 AM »

Hi,
I have iregulary issue with my mill under Mach1. Sometimes it skips to drill some holes in the file and continues to drill the others. When I check the drill file (looking at the listing) or with CNC viewer, all is ok.
So, I cant find where is the problem.
Any help will be appreciated.

There is a segment of drill file:

General Mach Discussion / SmoothStepper and THC

« on: December 24, 2010, 09:48:48 AM »

Hi,
As I can see on forums, SmoothStepper doesn't support THC function on Parallel port 2.
Is there any solution if someone want smooth stepping without parallel ports?
Many new mainboards haven't good results on Drivertest.exe, I think because of the SMI function.

General Mach Discussion / Possible error in Mach3 ver. 040 ?

« on: July 28, 2010, 12:26:53 PM »

Hi Brian and all,
Last days I experienced a serious problem with Mach3 version 040. Very often one axis on my plasma table stops moving without visible cause. I discovered weird changes in Settings\motor outputs. Instead of my settings here appear mostly pin 0 as step output pin and sometime another number. I correct this and axis works for some time but stops again.
Then I correct settings and push Reset button to blink and wait some time. Pin settings is changed again!
After this I installed older 038 version but the problem remains.
I solved this situation by uninstall and completely delete Mach3 folder, and then install again ver. 038. Now is vorking fine.
But I still don't know why this happens. Maybe is a bug in ver 040 and maybe I missed something?
Regards,

General Mach Discussion / Driver test AGAIN!

« on: July 16, 2010, 01:21:54 PM »

Hi,
I have read all about driver test and problems with PC hardware on forum.
I'm wondering: How big Max Variation should be and not to disturb Mach3 work?
I have new mainboard and get Max variation of 30 uS. Is this good enough or bad for plasma table?
Regards
