Klaus -  SUCCESS
Computer did not have SP3 loaded, put it in, then changed the USB port and everything worked.
My thanks for your kind assistance.

Klaus - Reloaded your V3.09 onto the XP computer. It responded with the following:-
Camera plugin needs SP3 (OK)
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE PATH NOT FOUND.(OK)
The ordinal 254 could not be located in the dynamic link library msi.dll.

Klaus - Followed your kind advice. But no solutions. On the XP machine I am getting "Video OCX (driver) cannot be connected" report.

Klaus - Yes both camera`s are USB. Both work normally on this PC and with Planet CNC.

Klaus - Thanks for reply. I have tried both V2 and V3 on a Win 10 PC. I put the cameras on another Mach 3 setup (Win XP ) and got the same report with both cameras. No other programmes on this PC. The report is the same with the Mach 3 camera screen?

Hi - I have a problem getting a USB camera to be recognised by Mach 3.  I am getting the report "unable to load OSG driver"  The camera works perfectly in Planet CNC.
If there is a solution I would be most grateful to know please?

Thank for the information gentlemen. Pondering my options as to whether it is worth doing. -  I have a manual lathe standing next to the CNC lathe

I suppose my question is more. Can an induction motorised spindle be synchronised?

General Mach Discussion / Lathe Spindle Synchronisation

I have had to replace the servo motor on my small CNC lathe with a 1.5hp 3 phase induction motor driven from single phase through a VFD.
My question is, would it be possible to synchronise the spindle for screwcutting. -  If so can I use the simple "hall effect switch" and magnet on the spindle method.
Your advice appreciated.
