General Mach Discussion / mach 3 upgrade problems
« on: May 19, 2011, 04:49:54 PM »
Hi
I have just upgraded my copy of mach to the very latest locked down version.
I unistalled the old version and then installed the new one.
I have two configurations one for a lathe and one for a mill.
when i tried to use the mill it appears that the lathe config is being applied as the the input apears to be doubled but there is no button to turn of diameter in the mill.
The main reason for the upgrade was to use the backlash comp on the Smooth Stepper but i cannot get it to work.
I have the latest plugin and version of mach.
i have entered the backlash com in the backlash option screen, click enable the OK and restart mach.
i move all the axis in the neg direction the hit reference but then the when i try and jog or mdi i am not getting a comp move at 20% feed.
can someone help.
