Bryanna

Thanks for the update

Yes as I posted the layout is clean but it’s that video that I disliked , it’s to distracting


As to bandwidth usage i have no problem with it running in the background a unlimited 350mbs internet takes it in its stride

Ok my penny worth of input
I have used both mach3 and mach4 both are licensed with ArtSoft

The mach3 had a usb controller it worked till it failed guess where it came from ,no prizes for the correct answere
So i got a mach4 lic and a ESS , the mill runs much smoother  with this set up and with the addition of lua very easy to customise to my needs

Now the both do the same job control the mil but for me the mach4 setup is better

Yes it’s a point that can be argued add infinite but to what end use what you are happy with but please do not shout down others for their choice it’s a free world and long may it stay that way

One OT comment a brush with the big C  puts things into perspective well it did for me , I am good now the guy with the stanly knife got it all, rearranged the plumbing a bit

Just my take on thing no offence intended to any reader

There is only one version now

The dif between free and pay is you only get generative design if you stump up else it’s the same

Is the tool offset set correctly
Is the WCS set on the machine

Though if I remember correctly the RR does not have the tool offset called out as in g43 hex

I had the output on do dah but only on the spindle a couple of relays sorted that out by cutting the power to the spindle until the ESS powered .

Thinking about it now I am thinking that’s its down to how the system is powered up

Mine has the ESS powered from a 5vdc in the mill therefore the come on together and that will be before the pc has the ESS under its wing

Theory

Mill off
Power ESS
Power pc and start mach4

Then turn on the mill

That way the mach4/ESS will be in a stable running condition before the mill on

Just a 2 cents of thinks

Tweakie

Just a thought from a old git

There are two resent posts with the same problem long running installs that have suddenly reverted to demo mode and both posters have stated they are licensed correctly with there own name in the info field

Could this be linked to a recent windoze update

It does seeem a bit odd to me


For the record I do not use mach3 although I do have a lic. I used mach4 hobby at this time maybe a up grad to the industrial ver in the future as I do a bit of paid work

So take my comments as is I have no means of proving my theory just taking a step back and looking at the wider picture
