« on: September 04, 2011, 10:31:49 AM »

hello all

when on the manual screen is the position of the tool tip shown anywhere??

i see it is positioned according to the position shown by the DRO- but i dont see any relation to

the axis??

or maybe it is ther axis that i cant see??

but i dont know where the tool is?

so if I jog- i only see the dro changing and not where the tool is going

best regards fred evans

FAQs / cant find "config"logic"

« on: May 31, 2011, 08:14:20 AM »

Hello all
I am working through the "using mach3turn" literature.

Under the heading "A configuration strategy" ( on page 5-1)
it suggests that we reach the config-logic dialog box to configure
the logic

On the screen that I have there is no subheading called "logic"
in the dialog box called config?

Please tell me if i am missing something or if I maybe have
outdated version??

please help

FAQs / " using mach3turn"-cant get jog to respond

« on: May 23, 2011, 10:27:21 AM »

Hello all - I am a newbie and have just connected 3 stepper motors to the driver prior to putting the steppers
on to a desktop lathe.

I an working thru the manual called using mack3turn and on page 3-6 it explains how to
jog in manual mode
i select jog on and the led lights
On selection of the up/down buttons or the left/right button on the keyboard i expect to see the
the DRO's changing value -- but nothing is happening

All suggestions will be gratefully appreciated

Best regards
