General Mach Discussion / Re: Dual Monitors

« on: December 31, 2015, 07:00:32 PM »

Not that I know of with a stock screenset. It is possible with a custom screen where you make a screenset page that is twice as wide as a single screen with all elements you want on it then SPLIT the screen across the two monitors. You also have to have a video card that can do 2 monitors as independant displays. NOW I cannot say how mouse coordination is going to work (;-)

You will Have to write a Motion Plugin to interface your Controller to Mach3.

G28 sends the machine to the Point that you defined in setup, G30 will send it to the Machine home position

It is not possible with Mach3.  Mach3 does not have indepedant axis control while running Gcode.

I would post your XML and someone can look to see if there are problems there. The problem sounds vaguely familar.

Only if you park it where you want zero to be.  OR you can reference the machine home and tell it where it is.

Geez you used to be able to load a DXF into mach2 and have it run what happened???  

Sometimes you forget to ask one of the 20 questions up front and you get knee deep into the problem before you realize it has NOTHING to do with Mach3. It is one of those head slap moments.
