I suspect that it's your XHC card. I know that some people could not get that card to work correctly.
hi guys, just starting out and I am learning so much so fast but I am struggling creating my own gcode files so I was wondering has anyone got any 2D files to cut into 6 mm ply to share with me just to keep me going while I get the hang of it. thanks in advance.plenty of gcodes files are included in a .rar file (use freeware 7zip to unrar)
I was having problems with my original PC periodically locking up solid whilst running Mach3, so I have built a new box.
I am using an Intel Atom D525 @ 1.8GHz on a Gigabyte GA-D525TUD board with 4GB RAM and have switched from XP on the old machine to Win 7 32-bit.
I installed a clean copy of the current lockdown version of Mach3 (022).
I have turned off all power saving settings I can find.
The driver test program shows 'excellent' at all pulse rates. I set up Mach3 at 25KHz for soak testing.
I left Mach3 idle on the Diagnosics tab for an hour and then noticed that the 'time in int' value had stuck at +6.9. It was oscillating a couple of points either side of 7 previously.
Mach3 was still responsive to screen input and I could load G-code, but the DROs would not change value in response to jogging or code.
The test environment is a clean install with no extra plugins. It is configured for the parallel port, but nothing is plugged into the port at this stage.
Looks as though something causes communication with the driver to stop?

Have a question i hope someone can assist with.
Have a machine we purchased from Cncrouter parts, its a Pro table with a x,y,z axis and is a very well built machine.
machine is operational and have been able to create g code files from 3d image files and run on the machine.
At the moment i have a ink pen mounted on the end of the z axis that is used to draw the pattern on a sheet of paper just to test and make sure everything is working.
Will be looking at mounting a floor mounted extruder machine and run a hose from it to the z axis and attach to the end of the z axis.
When machine is started, will start the extruder and extruder material to duplicate what was drawed on the paper.
At the moment,, starting the print from the Mach 3 screen.
is there a way to use the Mach3 to load the G code file and then a remote input such as from a push button etc. be wired into the machine to start the print cycle.
I have a -10V to +10V signal from a device which I would like to control a AC Tech VFD with https://www.clrwtr.com/Products/ESV751N04TXC.
I want at -10V the motor to reverse & at +10V the motor to go forward. At 0V the motor should stop.
Can this be done?
