General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 seems slower than mach2

« on: March 27, 2011, 04:54:52 AM »

I think I will have to reload gecko driver
It doesn't stall , it use to rapid @ 40ipm  , now about 12ipm.
When I loaded Mach III it removed Mach II & most of it's components.
I still have the gecko 540 XML though.

Yes I did try a higher kernel speed @45k and did not do much. I think I might try the sherline mode next.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 seems slower than mach2

Just loaded Mach 3 in my computer and it seems to rapid slower than it did on Mach2.
I think it has to do with telling Mach three about the gecko 540 to recognize it.
Help

I have Mach 2 and it must be old. I can't find a way to jog Z axis on the screen.

Hi everyone, my name is Chris. I have been a machinist for 30 years, been on Haas VF3's for about 10yrs.
I bought a MAX NC 10 about 7 years ago and have not used it yet. I tried to hook it straight up to my
Dell via the 25 pin port , it will make little chirps and hums. I have MACH II.
Then I did a little research and found I need a driver and perhaps breakout boards?
At work I can program G-codes and make anything I have attempted to so far.
I know nothing about electronics or wiring or pin assignment.  I think I bought some MACH III software years
Back before Hurricane Katrina ,but all I got now is Mach II demo good for 500 lines.
I lost my computer and all my software disc in the storm in New Orleans.
I now live in South Mississippi. I am waiting on a Gecko drive to arrive any day now.
If anyone can be a help with what else I need , it would be much appreciated.
