General Mach Discussion / Mach screen on boot up

Good day,
I was wondering if it was possible to set up the computer so that as it boots it goes straight to the Mach screen.

Thanks Jeff, I just wondered because I have seen 3 in 1 machines advertised where you can change over at the flick of a switch.
Never mind I will just have to bite the bullet and buy a plasma machine.

General Mach Discussion / Plasma cutting with a MIG welder

Hello everyone, as I know very little about the electronics and principles involved etc. I need to ask you experts, is it possible to use a MIG welder for cutting in place of a plasma cutter? In other words make some kind of conversion to achieve this.
Thanks,
Tony

General Mach Discussion / Number pad Pendent nearly there

« on: December 14, 2011, 07:14:05 AM »

Thanks to everyone who helped me get this far, I am nearly there .
I have set up the number pad, using the external buttons and OEM codes, and can now get all the functions you can see in the pic. I have a spare button because the pad I used has a single and a double zero button. So I thought it would be good to use this button to bring out the mach3 pendent thus not having to use the Tab key on the keyboard.
I have tried everything I can think of, but have come to a dead end. Has anyone any ideas for me please?
