hey everyone. i started building my own cnc a couple years ago. I had a friend that understood the software,but had to move and now cant reach him for support. i downloaded mach3 trial version onto my computer a while back. Had the motors running, but couldn't get any real speed out of it. literally about 5 inches a minute. T he DRO's wouldn't calibrate. I would move it an inch and the DRO would be at huge numbers. No pattern.
So, if all else fails, go to the beginning. I thought maybe I had a corrupt or old mach3 download. I loaded it onto a disk to put on the cnc computer. The computer for the machine doesnt have internet access. So, saved the mach3 to a disk two years ago, hence the reason i thought it may be old. Saved a "fresh" download of mach3 and uninstalled other one and installed this one.
Now i cant get any movement from the machine at all.
Please help. Any positive feedback and suggestions would be a godsend....
