General Mach Discussion / Re: xbox controller
« Last post by LaxieHong on June 24, 2026, 01:15:35 AM »
One thing I'd double-check is whether Mach is actually communicating with the motion controller. I've seen cases where all the settings looked correct, but the plugin wasn't loading properly or the controller wasn't being detected. Also worth checking the diagnostics screen for any status messages or fault indicators. Sometimes the issue ends up being something simple that's easy to overlook.

The "Arc OK" comes from the Proma 150's output connector.

On the Proma it is labeled just "ARC" and is on the same connector as the "UP" and "DWN" signals.

General Mach Discussion / CNC plasma Mach 3 torch height controller issues
« Last post by rosaparks on June 23, 2026, 01:30:13 AM »
Hello,

I'm helping a friend set up a used Premier Plasma CNC table equipped with a Proma 150 torch height controller. I believe everything is wired correctly, but when we received the machine, I didn't see any wiring for an "Arc OK" signal.

When attempting to cut with the THC enabled, the torch fires, then the machine pauses for about 8 seconds after the M3 command before timing out. I also noticed that the pigtail cable supplied for the Hypertherm 45XP only contains four wires—two for torch on/off control and two for the voltage feedback going to the THC.

In Mach3, pin 10 on the breakout board appears to be assigned to "Torch On," but there is no wire connected to pin 10 on the breakout board.

Could the missing Arc OK signal be causing the issue? Any advice or troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

The website is now fully operational, allowing all users to test and evaluate the software. I believe it will be a valuable solution for many operators using the WHB04B-4/6 controller with Mach4 and MachPro, helping to resolve common compatibility and operational issues.

I would greatly appreciate any comments, suggestions, and feedback from Mach4 users.

Hello Colten Edwards,

First of all, I would like to thank you for getting in touch.

Regarding your questions, for the Bridge to start working, you need to send me an email at e_cnc@outlook.com with the HWID code, as shown in the first video. Once I receive it, I will send you a 7-day trial license along with the price for the permanent license. If the software does not have a valid license, nothing will work.

Regarding changing the language to English, please follow this link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TySGIGdOLSj1W2WJzeyd7abMnRkXtDcg/view?usp=sharing

Another important point: the Jog Rate in MachPro cannot be configured because I do not have access to its API.

I would also like to inform you that the Step mode works in pure incremental mode. It is not recommended for moving long distances; for that purpose, the Continuous mode should be used instead.

Please remember that this is not a plugin, but rather an independent software application that works alongside Mach4/MachPro.

I also read your comment:

«"This has already caused me problems several times when setting up a job."»

It would be impossible for this system to have caused you any problems, because without a valid license it simply does not function at all.

Please take a look at the videos posted above or the installation manual located in the Docs folder within the software package to clarify any doubts you may have.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me here in the comments. Also, please send me your HWID code so that I can provide you with a free trial license.

Thank you very much.

English will not stay selected. Everytime I select English, it will revert back to portuguese. Nowhere can I find a price for purchase. One thing I'm looking for, is the state of the pendant needs to follow the state of the jog buttons on MachPro. Everytime I start MachPro or Mach4, my pendant is in STP mode instead of CONS mode. This has bit me multiple times when setting up a job.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Homing Question IN/MM
« Last post by mcporche on June 19, 2026, 07:07:00 PM »
I am changing it in the settings tab by clicking the UNITS button to toggle it.

After talking with a few people with knowledge of Mach 3, I think I finally understand what is happening.

When I click REF ALL HOME, it sends a g-code command to move left until the sensor triggers, then sends a command to move right 0.5.  If units is set to mm, it moves right 0.5mm.  If units is set to inch, it moves right 0.5in.

I also learned that the units setting is simply the native units for the software interface, so there is no need to change that.  The toolpaths will generate the codes to set the units for the toolpath.

Therefore, I will be keeping the units on the machine set at mm so that I get an extra 0.5" of cutting area.
