Thanks Dave

I found the email change utility and will look into how to modify the Post Processor.

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Mach3 stops at this line "S100M03"

« on: October 18, 2011, 09:32:33 PM »

For some reason when gcode is generated and it contains a "S" command such as "S100M03" the execution stops at this line, If I comment the line out it runs fine.

Any idea how I can fix this so I don't always have to edit that line out.  I use a router so the "S" command doesn't have control over the router anyway.

Thanks

Also I have a new email and cannot find where to update that for this forum.

General Mach Discussion / The Display screen doesn't display the item being cut

For some time now the display screen (blue screen in upper right side of the standard Mach3 screen) in any of the views does not display the cut outline nor do the X/Y reference lines move.

What have I done to cause this, I'm sure it's not a Mach Bug, LOL   

Thanks

When you say "Clone" is that just copying the Mach3 icon on the desktop and renaming it. And that is the clone, or are there other steps.

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Two CNC configurations on one PC, Possible?

« on: January 02, 2010, 02:45:31 AM »

I have a licensed Mach3 set up and running my 1st machine, It is a simple 3 axis machine using 3 steppers.  I am building a second machine which is a moving gantry with a screw and stepper on each side of the gantry and using 4 steppers.  After my second machine it running and all set up I will take tear down my first machine.

But in the meantime I would like to use the same PC that has mach installed on it to be able to run either of the two machines without having to change all of the configurations and mach set up when I connect up either one of the machines.  Is this possible and if so how would it be done?

Did you change the speed in your Motor Tuning for the X Y and Z axis?

Is "SmoothStepper" a brand name?

Can I just change the kernel speed and try it?

Why don't my steppers get hot?

My Processor is 3.07 Gigahertz Intel Celron
Bus Clock 133 Megahertz

What should the PC numbers be to get more speed?

Thanks
