Newbie here and needing help
« on: January 31, 2011, 08:55:29 PM »
hello all: I have been trying for several days to get a Taig Mill w/1/4hp motor with 4 servos running to a xylotex controller ver4 up and running. I acquired mill from friend who had for about 1.5yrs used couple times then boxed it up till week ago when i got it.    I have contacted Jeff at Xylotex and he gave me links to some xml files tried them today and i get nothing but a white screen when i start Mach3. drives lock up but no control from desktop(xp 512ram, 32mb video) i have set and reset everything many times and at total loss
someone please help.
Ian

Go to View menu then Load screens and then if its not looking at the main Mach3 folder browse there and choose 1024.set

ok not sure what you mean to do can you give a little bit more explanation.
Thank you for responding, i gather not many people use a xylotex 4axis controller with mach3.

Ok you said when you tried with one of the provided xml's you got a white screen and I was presuming that was because the xml has a screenset loaded which you do not have on your computer. If that is the case then you should still see the menus at the top, File, Config etc, do as I mentioned above and you will load the standard screen and should be able to see whats happening.
