General Mach Discussion / Re: Problem with XBOX 360 Pendant...?

« on: May 05, 2012, 07:14:55 AM »

Frustration beyond belief, cant get the wired xbox360 controller to work with mach3, have the latest version of mach3, have the latest active x loaded windows recoginises the pendant . The plugin is installed and is active as is the setup page for the plugin but at the bottom of the page on the right side it says not installed or recognised. Please dont tell me this is going in the trash can along with all the other chinese pendants and controllers that dont work with mach3. Any ideas before EMC2 goes up

Hii All
Am following the 6 axis screen topic with interest as I need a good working one for my 5 axis mill , firstly how do you make a screen is there a tutorial or document to explain the procedure and i notice on the 'Darc' download screen the manual jog panel only has 4 axis displayed. I would like to fix a few of these things myself just need the how to document.

Hi
Im building a wire edm.
the electronic feedback unit on the machine monitors the burn cycle and requests the drive software to pause and then reverse a short way before continuing on with the job.
This is represented by a single line giving a a high or low logic level to the drive software.
Pause alone is not enough a small amount of backing of is reqd.

General Mach Discussion / mach 3 latest download

« on: October 03, 2007, 11:38:08 AM »

Hi
I have a version of Mach3 on my laptop that runs a machine tool just fine. However I have had need to transfer control to a normal PC with a more than adequote spec and I cant get a peep out of the parrallel port its just as if its in Demo mode. I have set the port config to normal AT mode and improved the machines spec according to the update sheet. The only difference is this version of mach 3 was downloded very recently after lockdown. Has the printer driver option been removed from the install page as i dont recall seeing it when installing the most recent download.
Regards
Clive
