is this a case for "optimization" ?
The other day I could only get the Z axis to operate. I got tired of playing around and shut down for the night. The next day I fired up the computer and Mach3... everything worked flawlessly and I engraved some text and a bitmap of our company logo... playing with depth of cut, etc. It worked beautifully (aside from my lack of experience). Today... well, I have zero motor control. I changed nothing in Mach. My guess is I need to perform the optimization ritual. This is on my desktop, hooked to the internet, yada, yada.
Also, I'm thinking of building a dedicated computer to operate the machine. What are your thoughts on a configuration?
Thanks,
Sweeney
