G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / New user can't get a simple circle to cut???

« on: May 16, 2016, 01:56:23 PM »

I've read all the codes and understand what they do but it keeps getting stuck on one line: N9 G03 X14.157 Z-9. R0 F1250.
I'm guessing it has to do with the Z or the rapids to 0 or the feed speed but no matter what value I change to it won't pass this line.

Just stops no error. Any one tell me why?

General Mach Discussion / How do I connect Mach3 to a Delta VFD using an USB UART to RS485 adaptor?

« on: July 22, 2015, 03:58:23 PM »

I have Mach3, I have a CNC with a Delta VFD that has a RS485 input. I have a Serial to 485 adaptor for my PC. How do I get Mach3 to use the serial port rather than the Parallel port? So far doesn't sound possible without some sort of break out board but I can't find a specific introduction on what is required to make the connection.

Thanks,
