Are you using Matty Zee's plugin for the Huanyang VFD?
If so, some people success using a "USB to RS485 converter" to get that plugin working.
Follow the plugin thread

Try
Closing Mach3. Then manually copy your license file Mach1Lic.dat into C:\mach3.
Now restart Mach3.

If you are using Windows 7 or higher,

Right click on lazycam's short-cut and select prperties | compatibilities

run lazycam as a "windows XP Sp2" and tick run as administrator.

Did you install lazycam when you installled MACH3 or did you installed lazycam separately afterwards?
Do you buy the Pro version lazycam license?
Did you buy the MACH3 or are you still on demo version?
Lazycam (std) will not save, if the MACH3 license is invalid.

ethernet or USB are serial devices. So their frequency is quoted in bits per second and NOT bytes per second. So their real frequency will have to be divided by at least 6 (if only just 3 axis used) when comparing to the parallel port speed because parallel port is transferring one byte of 9 bits in parallel and not 9 serial bits one bit at a time.

Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Made a drag knife spending just AUD$4
« on: March 15, 2019, 07:17:51 AM »
I want to make a Tangential knife with a stepper controlling the tangential rotation.

First step is to make a working "drag knife" that can be used as a tangential knife later.
Since my router's ER11 Spindle can already provide rotation, I made a Working Drag knife by
lathe machining down part of a $2.95 Craftright Scapel knife holder that has an 7.8mm diameter Aluminum down to 6.8mm to fit a 7mm ER11 collet.  Then cutting it to length.
The scalpel blade was found to be too soft for cardboard. So I just snap off one section of 18mm wide Olfa cutter, grind off part of it so that it will fit Craftright Scapel knife holder
and I have a $4 dollar Drag-knife.

Works like a dream based on "caster-wheel principle" cutting packing cardboard.
Of course the THE SPINDLE must be switched off.
