General Mach Discussion / Re: Cutting smaller

This is a new controller I never had this problem with  the previous controller.

If I would cut a pocket .750 X 1.00 I would get a pocket .750 X 1.00 not smaller.
This happens in what ever material I cut including Acrylic and plastics.
A job I do for a company requires all measurements to be spot on.

Using MACH 3 Ver. R3.043.062, USB Smooth stepper, PMDX 126,134 & Gecko 203V drives.
The motors have been tuned the problem is all cuts are 4 thousands smaller than they should be. The code checks out fine. Is there a setting in MACH that could be causing this problem?

Thanks

I found the problem. The MACH3 folder was set to read only.  Click on the folder go to properties and turn off read only close.  Open Mach3 go to config plugins enter product and vendor IDs close restart MACH3 and controller worked.

Downloaded and installed all files listed in the MACH plugins also installed DirectX 2007. I check the controller using windows check controller. The controller is working fine. Opened config Xbox 360 controller the radio button in the controller box shows none the Vendor ID and Product ID shows all zeros.  When I typed in the Vendor and Product ID and close then reopen the numbers returned to zeros.
What am I missing??

Thanks
