I think I found the BUG.

The little flyout pendant in Mach... when you have it in step mode it doesn't stop. When in continous mode it works like it should.

I had this same problem.  I fixed it by messing around with continious or step button highlighted under the pendant flyout controller.

I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it... but I just kept clicking and unclicking until it went away. Works flawless now.

Reverse the polarity on servo motors. Just try it. I fought that same problem for a week. You can't hurt anything by trying it.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Bug? Causing overrun of drives

« on: March 18, 2013, 03:09:39 PM »

IIRC, v3.043.022 is the version I had that problem with.  However, it was only an issue when the Z axis was set for lower velocity/acceleration than the other axes, and only when transitioning from a 2-axis arc move to a three-axis move.  Mach3 would ignore the Z axis acceleration, and command it to accelerate at the rate of the other two axes, which, of course Z could not do.  I've been told it was fixed quite some time ago.

Have you tried running with a more recent version of Mach3?  That one is quite old.

Randomly my Z would lose steps with .022 version of Mach, that exact same scenario. I busted up some very expensive tools.

I have since switched to .057 version and a ESS. Haven't really run the machine long enough to see if the problem is still there... because it was very random.

I wonder if I should Make all my axis the same IPM and acceleration... as my Z is still a little lower than the X,Y to be on the safe side?

General Mach Discussion / driver needed for machining webcam

« on: March 16, 2013, 02:11:00 PM »

I purchased the machining webcam from CNC4PC, it says to just plug it in and driver will be found. My CNC computer isn't hooked up to the internet... and when I tried to plug it in on another computer I didn't have any luck.

I emailed CNC4PC, no response yet and I'm trying to get this running.

Anyone have a link or a driver I can download? Much appreciated.
