General Mach Discussion / 10.1 inch lap top screen

« on: February 24, 2016, 08:17:14 PM »

Hi there, does anyone know how to fit the Mach3 screen so that it is fully visible on a 10.1 inch lap top screen, I have tried the resolution settings and I still can not see the full Mach3 screen. I am running the 2010 screen set.

Regards

Hi fixittt, just wondering how is the Pipo9x going with Mach3 and your machine?, I may be interested in changing over too.

Thanks to everyone for their inputs and experiences with W7 and LPT port, I may have to re-think on that

Hi there,I have just inherited a computer, it is running windows 7, my question is:- are there any problems with it, is anyone else out there using windows 7? the computer does not have an LPT port but I understand that the port cards are still available and are very easily installed

General Mach Discussion / Shielded Cable

« on: October 15, 2015, 08:03:31 PM »

Hi there, just a quick question regarding using shielded cable for homing switches, Do you connect  the outside shield (braided covering) to anything or just let it float, I am using a two core shielded cable.

General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 misbehaving

Hi there, until yesterday the program was running fine, just the odd limit switch error now and then, I have not used the program for about a month when I turned it on an error code came up saying an error has occurred and that the setting in ports and pins needed to be reset etc. once done it started to work, but I had to home all the axis, some of the axis were reversed, so I corrected them, them the z axis when doing the manual touch off in screen 2010 instead of coming down ,touching the touch pad and going back again, it was going the up instead of down, I corrected it, but my short cut keys were working in the opposite direction, so I fixed that problem, homed all the axis again and set up a small cutting job, set the x and y axis to the job center and zeroed them to the job but it wanted to start in the opposite direction e.g. it should start in the top right hand corner, it would try and start at the bottom right hand corner etc. I have an idea that the whole thing is  POSSESSED  or some thing, if there is any one out there who may be able to shed some light on the subject or perform exorcism please jump right in, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Nick
