I have the Beta of Lazy Cam, but would like to know if it will grow to do 3D models?

General Mach Discussion / SolidCam Post
« on: August 31, 2007, 05:11:21 PM »
Has anyone used SolidCam with Mach3, if so I would like to know which post worked best if any. I ordered a small CNC machine to do prototypes for our engineering lab.  I use SolidWorks for design and our mold shop uses SolidCam. I called our SolidWorks/SolidCam re-seller and he acted like Mach3 was for kids and didn't want to bother.

Can I use a 25 pin SCSI port for a second port?

I found an earlier post from Brian Barker telling another person to use Sherline Mode. That took care of the problem.

General Mach Discussion / Growling Stepper Motors
« on: August 11, 2007, 09:05:34 PM »
I have a Dyna Mechtronics DM2800 machine that I am upgrading from proprietary software to Mach3.  I have made the connections to the X and Y driver boards as well as the home/limit switches, which was not easy due to first trying to understand the purpose and design of the existing PC boards. Anyway, the stepper motors sound rough and make a growling sound when I jog them. They did not sound like this before so I know something is not set proper even though I am using the same drive boards and wire harness.  Please does anyone have an ideas what could cause the motors to run rough with a growling ??? sound like that?????????  It’s been a long hot day here in Florida and I’m tired, but any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thank you.

I got it!!! Very good!! I viewed the video on installing and I had to load the special driver. I must say the help here is much better then anything you get from Microsoft. Thanks for the great job with the video.

I gave up on loading the machine from a disk and used a USB flash memory stick. It looks good except when I click on the Mach3 icon. It starts to run and then reboots the XP-Pro operating system. Lazy Cam boots up fine. Oh, yeah after rebooting it gives me a message that it recovered from a serious error. This computer is using a AMD6 /2 processor, does anyone else have this problem and what is the fix? I need help with this. Thank you.

How do I change what it wants to see?

So far I have burned three disks with the same results. The part I don't understand is why this same machine will read any other disk I put in. I think I will down load Mach2 and see if it loads. I am trying real hard not to hook this machine to the internet I want to keep it as clean as possible and only use it to run the mill.

General Mach Discussion / Can't see my CD disk
« on: July 13, 2007, 04:10:32 PM »
I have a dedicated computer stripped clean and loaded with only XP- Pro software just for my milling machine. The only problem is; this computer is not hooked-up to the Internet and it doesn’t recognize my Mach3 disk. I can place any other disk in it and it sees them just fine and the Mach3 disk works just fine in my main desktop computer, so I assume the disk is burned properly.  Please, does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
