Code: [Select]
'Get the current values
ActY = GetOEMDro(801)

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3. Windows XP. Mother board with no parallel port
« Last post by EL34 on June 05, 2025, 01:32:20 PM »Not that exact model but an older Dell equivalent. It runs absolutely fine under Windows 10 (I don't know about Win 11) using UC100 motion controller. The computing load of Mach3 other than the MC is very small.
Just curious as to which mini pc you are using?

« Last post by EL34 on June 05, 2025, 12:05:41 PM »Yeah, you would not need one of the powerful Mini's for Mach3
The old desktop system I have been using for many years is pretty wimpy and Mach3 runs great on it.
I have XP corporate, win 7 corporate, Win 10 pro disk, so I could install any of those if W11 is a problem.

« Last post by EL34 on June 05, 2025, 11:03:57 AM »I ordered a UC100
I actually have two of those Gigabyte motherboards shown in my image above
I retired two desktop PC's recently and went with two of the Beelink mini PC's for my daily desktops.
It's so nice having tiny little boxes on the desk instead of noisy dust sucking big boxes under the desk.
So if the UC100 works out, I may upgrade the older CNC to a newer mother board and a UC100.
I installed a fresh copy of XP SP3 in the Gigabyte desktop and then installed Mach3
I did a timing test and the timing is rock solid in Mach3
Just curious if anyone here has attempted to run Mach3 on one of these mini PC's?

General Mach Discussion / Re: how to refresh my licensed copy of Mach3 to the newest version?
« Last post by Tweakie.CNC on June 05, 2025, 02:51:04 AM »Firstly, Mach3 software requirements are listed here;
https://www.machsupport.com/software/mach3/
Assuming your PC and motion controller meet the requirements then…
Make a secure backup of your existing Mach3 folder.
Download the latest version of Mach3 from here;
https://www.machsupport.com/downloads-updates/mach3-downloads/
Install over the top of your existing Mach3 version.
Only if necessary, copy from your backup folder to the new Mach3 folder…
Mach1Lic.dat
Any special screen sets or Macros
<your profile> .xml
Etc.
