what I found is you can still make programs to run on Xp and above in VS2012, 2013 and 2015 you just have to have it set to run from .net 4.0 and below  and have vcredist_x86.exe for the version of VS installed and openGL not sure yet on that one that's tomorrow's task, Arts more than likely correct that it`s the openGL drivers stopping it working. in a couple of years this won't be a problems everyone would of upgraded.
if I can`t get to run tomorrow that it for winXP for me spent to much time on it.

hi art I cant rember what openGL version I have but it is the highest you can go with win XP, before you all changed to VS2013 everything worked then nothing, you changed something with Darwin it now works but M4 Gearotic nup. I have done everything suggested anyone with win xp is to do.

I will double check the openGL then if it's on the highest and the graphic card is set to work with it, I will bin it and move on with getting a pokeys board not sure what one yet more than likely the 57E since you motion controller will work with it or M4, M3 work with the pokey`s

I post this on Yahoo group see if anyone there has a suggestion

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Windows 8 and Mach 3

« on: October 25, 2015, 05:12:06 PM »

you only can use 32bit on win 8.1 and below for parallel port, 64 bit requires a external board like a ESS, pokeys, pdmx so on.

I don't know if win 10 32 bit works with the parallel port, you can get win10 32bit or 64bit.

Mach4 or Mach3 does not work with linux whatever flavor it is.

Mach3 and 4 work on win 10 and below ever on a computer or raspberry pi.

hi art still can't get M4 to run on my xp computer I already had CV runtimes for VS2013 I am trying to find what can make it work I might be flogging a dead horses. Darwin works fine, gearotic does not work still
I installed VS2010 to see if that would help no go.

if you have any idea or something I can try other wise its going in the bin and I will just get a pokeys board and use one of my laptops

Modbus / Re: Arduino Modbus, Complete, Documented and free

Thank you for your help...
Now I have some inputs working with leds, some blinking, some fixed but I noticed that just some arduino mega ports from the main row (2 to 12) are working as outputs and none of the extra ports are working (22 to 53). look at the pinmaping https://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/PinMapping2560
