what version for a feed hold that works
« on: August 18, 2012, 11:15:22 PM »
I used to use an old version of mach, when I hit feedhold I could jog away and do whatever, then hit cycle start and it would do a preperatory move and wait for cycle start. after upgrading to Mach3 R3.043.022, i find it doesnt work anymore, no preperatory move, simply executes the next block.  Which version do i need to upgrade to where this is fixed? While I'm at it, which dev version are pretty stable?

Should work fine with almost any version. Its maybe a config issue, if you attach your xml I will have a look.

I wanted to say, I upgraded to Mach3 R3.043.062, and it seems to be fixed in this release.  How stable is it?

 Just tried with your xml and its working fine. What version are you using and I will test with that.

Edit see you have just replied, 062 should be stable enough.

I was using Mach3 R3.043.022 when I found the issue, I upgraded to Mach3 R3.043.062 and it was working again.

I had previously used Mach3 R3.043.062, and had it set to 35k kernel speed, the machine was unreliable so I quickly swapped to .022 and reset kernel speed to 25k that worked for a time but I think the problem was the computer and the xp installation that created most of my issues so yesterday I reinstalled xp with .022 and then thought better of it given my issues with the feed hold.  I just dont want to invest another several hours cutting only to have some new issue raise its ugly head.

I use that version on one of the mills and it runs fine for me and has done for a good while so hopefully it will work fine for you.
