Thanks for that. Is there a list anywhere of what is safe to strip from Windows 10?

Mach4 General Discussion / Windows 10?

« on: March 20, 2019, 07:40:50 PM »

Hi Guys
I have a mill and a lathe working very well with Mach 4 and Windows 7. I'm thinking of building a plasma cutter and would like to use a separate computer for it as sometimes I may have a job running on one of the machines that can take some time. All new computers seem to have Windows 10 on them - how does Mach 4 like Windows 10? I'm looking for people running Windows 10 to comment about their experience please.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks Guys
I haven't been able to get on the forum for a few days. That is the full message I get - nothing extra.
I have not added any of this to the screen load script - it's what comes with Mach. It all seems to work OK once I clear the error - I just don't know why I'm getting this error.
Thanks

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Vista CNC P1A-S with Mach4 - Problem

Something quick to try - Start your system as you normally would and get it to the point of of it being stuck on the "E Stop".
Without powering down your computer or closing Mach 4, power down the ESS for a few seconds and power it back up. As Mach reestablishes contact with the ESS the "E Stop" may go away. This worked for me a while ago.

As the E-Stop is either on or off have you tried running the pendant with the E Stop pushed in - opposite to normal operation?

Hi Mauri
I have a Vista CNC P1A-S which I use with Mach4 every time I use my mill - It works great, I used the firmware, plugin and instructions on the Vista CNC site.
There must be some other conflict else where in your system. I have a Hycon motion controller and a Pokeys 55 for my input panel - It works with all these plugins. I have read elsewhere about you starting to use an Ethernet Smooth Stepper maybe the problem lays there. I would start a brand new profile and get one thing going at a time and see at what point your problems start.

HiCON Motion Controller / Plugin for Mach 4 Version 3804?

« on: May 21, 2018, 09:58:59 PM »

Hello
I see we have a new recommended version of Mach 4 to download - 3804 - Will the old plugins work OK or will you be producing a new plugin to go with this release?
Thanks
Steve
