General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 and UC100

« on: February 12, 2019, 04:21:27 PM »

Gerry, I have the UC100 Plug in in my Mach3 Plug in folder now.  Mach3 recognizes the UC100.  I don't know what to configure to get it working with my 3 axis board.  The green and blue LEDs on the UC100 are lit up.  I have  from the UC10 a cnc4pc C83 Opto Isolator board (5Input/12 Output) with separate 5VDCPower Supply on the Power terminals of the input side and 5VDC and Ground from my 3 axis board on the Output side Power terminals.  Can not make my G code files make my mill steppers run.  Do I need to do some configuring in Mach3?

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 and UC100

I have the demo version (R3.043.062) of MACH 3 installed on my Windows 10 HP Notebook.  Also have the UC100 (real one), hooked through A C83 Opto Isolator board then to my Xylotex 3 axis control board.  When I start it, a message (Plugin DLL Defective. Reload) after that message, this one appears (UC100 V2_151.DLL-Defective Plugin found ..ignoring).  Do I need to change any thing in MACH 3 configuration to use the UC100?  Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply.  I was told by cncdrive that the USB would power the motion controller side of the C-83 board and to take the other from my axis board.  Hope that works.
Thanks.

General Mach Discussion / C-83 Opto Isolator Board

Does anyone use this board?  I have the UC-100 Motion Controller, adapter to C-83 Board and Ribbon Cable to plug to my Xylotex 3 axis board.  The C-83 board has 2 places for GND and 5VDC,  I don't know if I need to use those or if the USB port of my computer supplies that.  I do have extra GND and VCC terminals on my Xylotex board if needed.

I have tried 4-5 times to email CNC4PC about this but no reply.  Also tried calling them 4-5 times, no reply.

Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thank you.

OK Rich, I cleaned it before generating code and it seems to work right.

Rich, I told you wrong.  Both connecting rods show in Lazy Cam but when it generates the tap file and I enter it in Mach3 or Mach4 there is only code for one connecting rod.  Do I need to do something in Lazy Cam before letting it generate the code?

Thanks again.

Thanks Rich.  They are both on the same layer.

Hello.  I have drawn 2 Connecting Rods on the same TurboCad program and saved it as a DXF.  When I open it in Lazy Cam there is only 1 connecting rod.  How do I get them both to be on the loaded DXF and tap file.  I tried it in MACH3 and in MACH4 and got only one connecting rod.

Any help greatly appreciated,  thanks.
