Galil / Re: Galil and Mach3 in CT
« on: July 12, 2011, 08:19:40 PM »
I'll check that, but for some reason, wsdk thinks the motors are off--they're not, I turned them on in Mach3 with the reset and you can hear them humming.  By the way, the x axis slowly turns all the time even when not jogging or running g codes.
Thanks

Galil / Galil and Mach3 in CT
« on: July 11, 2011, 10:35:07 PM »
I have a Galil 1740 isa card running with Mach3.  I am getting an error that the motor is not on when I try to use either Mach3 or the Galil WSDK.  I am a total newbie and know the unit was working when I bought it.  It's using an Octagon Systems controller with SEM servo motors and encoders.  Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

General Mach Discussion / DRO mode instead of cnc
« on: July 02, 2011, 01:48:57 AM »
Is there any software add in or external device that can simply allow the reading of linear scales which have been installed through a Galil device in a manual mode?  I need to be able to zero the axis independantly of each other like in any dro.  Please help if you know how to do this.

I haven't been able to use the mach 3 in DRO mode only.  An idea was given to me, but it didn't work out.  All I want to do is zero an axis and be able to manually move the tables with position updating.  Any other ideas?

General Mach Discussion / mach 3 as DRO
« on: June 21, 2011, 08:28:43 PM »
Hi,  I'm new to mach3.  Just bought a supermax with mach3 control and bobcad/cam v20.  Unit has linear scales and servo motors.  The manual is very intimidating.  I have years of exp as machinist, but having problems setting up unit.  Is there some way to use in DRO mode as a manual mill with position readouts until I sort out the cnc side of things?  The manual doesn't seem to address doing this.  I can read out position, but can't zero an individual axis.
Thanks
