Hi Hood doing something wrong, cant get the xml file in. Because my secondhand computer hasn't go an internet connection I had to do the following.
Downloaded the Mach3 software in the house on my home computer , then burnt it onto a disk and put my licence and xml files onto the disk (not min the mach folder but as seperate files. I then went down the workshop and loaded the new Mach software onto the workshop computer
I then loaded the licence and the Xml files into the computer.
When I run mach3 I think its got the licence because in the bottom corner of the screen it no longer says demo, however when I look at the config menu it does not seem to have loaded any of the ports and pins tick boxes, etc.
Any suggestions, I have paper records of the config stetting so could load them all in by hand.
The only bit of the set up I might have got wrong is when one of the the first screen of the set up asks me if I want to create a port driver I left the tick box ticked (although it said it was not needed for external motion drivers) what does that mean. Sorry to be a pain but you know I'm a mechanical engineer not a computer whizz kid, I put oil in or give it a belt with a hammer if things dont work mechanically, but I'm lost on computers. Jim
