Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Circular Pocket problem

« on: March 19, 2009, 08:06:26 PM »

I can't get some of the DRO's in the Circular Pocket wizard to accept data. The position DRO's work fine (i.e., accept new values when entered), but the others (depth of cut, stepover, depth per pass) will not accept new values. The DRO box color changes, the typed in value appears in the DRO, but when I press enter the DRO reverts to its original state.

The Rectangular Pocket wizard works perfectly.

The problem is the same for versions 2.77 and 2.82

Is there a Mach configuration setting I could have inadvertantly changed that would cause this problem?

Thanks,

General Mach Discussion / Feed Hold problem

« on: March 17, 2009, 02:24:49 PM »

I recently installed Mach3 with the Candcnc breakout board to an old Dyna 2800 mill. Using the Sherline mode, it seems to run fine with the original Dyna steppers and drivers (much to my amazement, I might add!).

The only thing that isn't working (so far!) is the Feed Hold button. When I hit the button on the screen during program execution, I get the "Note: Cycle pause in effect.. No jogging or Reverse!!" message in the status box, but the program continues to run normally.

The "Stop" buttons works perfectly.

Is there something I could have overlooked in the set up that would cause this?

Thanks,
