Mach4 General Discussion / ESS & C25 Wiring help for home switches

« on: September 09, 2016, 11:02:44 PM »

I'm hoping someone can walk me through the wiring for my mechanical home switches for my 3 axis router.

My router came with the three switches wired Normally Closed and connected to inputs 10, 11, 12 on the C25 and a common Ground on the C25.  I could not get a reliable connection in Mach4 for all three switches with this wiring scheme.

Reading the manual for the C25 seemed to suggest that each switch should be wired from a 5V terminal on the C25 to its input terminal (10, 11, 12.)  I tried this with a common 5V connection to all three switches but I'm still not seeing the correct behaviour in Mach4.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Mach4 General Discussion / Can't get licence file to work on Windows XP & Mach4 2.2914

« on: August 18, 2016, 07:03:38 PM »

I'm trying to update Mach4 to the current version but I can't get the licence file to stick.

I'm strictly following the instructions in my licence email, but no amount of restarting Mach, restarting Windows, or uninstalling and re-installing Mach is working.

I'm running Mach as Administrator as per the instructions but no luck.

Has the licensing file changed in the past year?

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Mach4 General Discussion / Need help to make a dialogue on Mach4 exit so my ATC doesn't drop tools

« on: November 11, 2015, 10:42:47 PM »

I'm hoping someone here might be interested to help advise how to create a dialogue box, or even just edit the "are you sure you want to quit" dialogue box to remind operators to check the ATC status and be prepared to catch the tool that's about to be dropped upon exit from Mach4.

I'm really liking Mach4 a lot more than Mach3 and solving these little issues will make a big difference in the shop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
