You do not have the wizard installed correctly. The Folder name must have the 008 removed. The NFSturn.set file should be in the folder NFSturn There are several other files in that folder.

You do not have the NFSturn wizards installed. You have only the free ones.

Go to the top entry in this thread and get the .zip file. Un pack it in the Mach3 folder, so that the NFSturn folder is under Turnaddons. The restart mach and open the wizard list and you should see NFSturn in the list.

you have not selected the wizard, you are at the main screen. Click the Wizards menu then look for NFSturn in the list of wizards.

No, MACH3 Addons is the same thing as the Newfangled Wizards. You are all set. Start up the NFSturn and if your license is properly installed it will say 'Licensed version' on the first screen

If you have the Newfangled Wizard license, which cost $50, then you are all set for the NFStrun and Mill wizards.

After it is installed you really dont have to do anything but start using the program. However, the about box doesnt change the line that says 'unlicensed demo copy' If you close the box, then re-open it you will see that has changed to licensed copy, just as confirm that the license worked.

I do not understand the problem you are seeing. Certainly CopyCat is not supposed to ever require a reset while it is operating.

Are you running on a slow PC? Slow screen updates can cause a timeout and drop Mach into reset. Check your setting in general config to use watchdog timers. Turn that off if its on.

I am not sure if making an edit to the first topic sends a message to guys watching this note, but I put a new version in topic 1 with an update for the metric threads. You now have a DRO to enter both TPI and pitch. One of them must be zero, enter a value in the one you want to use.

I did this in my hotel while traveling between Cabin Fever and NAMES ME shows, so obviously I have not tested it on a real machine, but the code looks correct. I cannot check the feed DRO until I get back to my shop.

There was lots of discussion about the license issue at the Cabin Fever seminars. No one likes it, Brian included. But when you have vendors on Ebay selling CDs that include the mach software and a license key you have to do something. The mac address is about the only thing in a PC that relates to a serial number. Note the license software looks at more than the mac address, but mac is critical.

Note you do not need to have the network connected and working, it simply needs a net interface that has a mac address.

I am afraid this will not change and we will have to get used to it. I will be adding a test and a message box on the About screen that will give a warning when the  PC id comes up blank. That is al I can do.

If the DRO changes then mach is outputting pulses. Something in the breakout board or driver is not working.

Since this has nothing to do with a wizard oyu mmight get more help in the general mac topic.
