Hi,
I gave up waiting for a Mach 4 USBSS plugin and bought a ESS to switch over to Mach 4. I first got Mach 3 running with the ESS with little trouble but I did notice that homing my X axis sounded a little different. My X axis has a slave motor and I could not tell if they were both homing. I did not know it this was a difference between the USBSS and ESS or if only one motor was homing. I went a head and got Mach 4 up and running with the ESS and my X axis homing is the same. In Mach 3 their was a check box in the configuration page where you could check to say if you want both motors homed. It squares up the gantry. Is there something I am missing in Mach 4 to tell it to do the same thing?
My second question has to do with the rotary tool path display. So far it is much better the Mach 3 but is there way to adjust the diameter of what is displayed? I did very little rotor stuff on my cnc router in Mach 3 but want to do more with mach 4. The tool path look correct but the proportion is not correct. In CAM it is long and thin but when I load the G code it is short and fat? I think it may run ok if I ran it.
Thanks for any help,
regards,
Todd
