Thanks, again, for your input, gents. Much appreciated.Try it, copy out the MACH3mill.xml profile.
The supplier of my system "provided" me with what they claimed was a legitimate copy of Mach3. When I unzipped their file, my anti-virus went off like my dog when she sees the mailman. It had the ******************66 build version, and so I figured it must be pirated. But, while it may be pirated, based on what Craig was saying, it may be that they have "tailored" their build to their board. I don't REALLY want to try it, but perhaps..........we'll see what tomorrow brings.
How does one determine legal copy, or not, besides looking for the license code?
Hi all,
i want to add basic turning to my mill conversion by building a servo driven spindle to mount on the table.
Is Mach3 Turn just a screen-set or totally different build of Mach?
Does Mill understand constant-surface-speed commands?
Thanks

HiIf you use INTEL brand SSDs, they will never have a bad sector on reboot. Intel SSD will always check new sectors before writing to them so will relocate to good sectors BEFORE writing to ensure data is always readable.
I use a SSD hard disk and it has not had any problems I also have a standard hard disk in the machine that I keep the backups on ( as well as a separate computer)
I personally suspect a file is opened in Mach4 and then not closed properly and left open I have seen this before and causes random problem but in the past it has always ascii characters the corruption in this case seems not to be random character's
Windows did down load a update while the machine was running but did not install it until I closed every thing off and then went to shut the computer down and I do not believe this to be a problem …...BUT
RegardS Ray
If you are still using a Hard Disk - migrate to a SSD.
Why would it be corrupted it was working and shut down properly and where would the corruption likely to be
Any ideas any one ?

It has been tested with the pins inverted , so I'm thinking ess rather than port with a Bob .if you follow this thread
I had issues with linuxcnc , the probing that was programmed to the motion control worked but g31 was an issue . That is leading me to believe it maybe an issue with Bob. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Hi,Sorry, my bad.
OP has previously established (reply #2) that the probe LED operates as expected ie the BoB is correctly signaling
Mach.

Thanks, never thought of that but will check it out tomorrow morningUntick the "auto screen enlarge" in Config. |general config in MACH3 if you must use a widescreen monitor for other programs.
I'm thinking I need to go with a controller and not parallel port .An external motion controller still need to talk to parallel port type Break Out Board(S). So if the problem is the B.O.B. settings, buying an external motion controller will still have the same problem.
