What about CS Labs new software?

They have one in Beta, I have it downloaded, have not tried it because it has limited functionality, no macro editing and no screen editing - i could not use it on my mill without these functions.

They say it will all be there but after the beta stage is done so no idea when.

Limited support for software - you can't use stuff like UCCNC on etc

General Mach Discussion / Re: CNC Router Convert to Plasma Questions

1. Any advise about using a nice cnc router with a plasma cutter so I don't screw anything up? I plan on using a slide on water table to capture all the bad stuff.



One thing for sure - it will not be a nice router for long once you start plasma cutting :)

Don't forget fume extract - downdraught or water table will be needed, its not optional really.

From what I've read over the years, it seems that some people run into this all the time, and most never see it.
Of course, that doesn't help at all.

One thing about version 3.043.022 mentioned earlier. It has a serious bug that can cause Mach3 to hang on M6's, depending on the contents of the M6Start macro.
While testing when I first found it, I could get it to freeze when the M6Start had just one line of code. It definitely doesn't work with the M6Start in the 2010 Screenset.

And that there stops any thoughts of using 022 for me too - I have a fair bit in M6 and I use the 2010 screen set.

There is nothing worse than a random bug, there is no pattern to it, most of the time it will run all day then others it will fail after a few hours and others like yesterday it will fail upon first run.

I'm very limited in what software I can run due to using a CS-Labs controller.

It seems saving them as .mcc is a fix but it only passes the failure on to the next .m1s macro.

I now have M3, M6start, M6end as .mcc versions, I think I will do M5 etc just in case it faults when it should be stopping the spindle....

Next time it fails I will try stepping through whatever one it fails on.

But there is no "problem line" - the code has been running perfectly for some time now, this is a totally random bug.

Ah, so i need to add a DoOEMButton(316) after each call to update a value in the TT?

I just presumed it got saved when Mach closed.

Thanks for the tip

Yes it has been mentioned before, trouble is, i can't find out what, if any, things may stop working or not work how I expect when downgrading - this i s a fairly customised setup I think and I don't want to risk buggering something up ;)

Also, where do i find the old version?
