Can you attach your xml file and we can have a look and see if its a setting that is the problem. You will have to use the full reply form and use the additional options tab to attach it, you will also have to rename the file before you attach it, if you rename it something like PJ.xml the forum will accept it.

In Mach3 the "input signals" can be hooked up to pins 10,11,12,13 and15.  You should use the same pins on your BOB.

Hi, PJ

If you have a Standard Install of Mach you'll find the xml's in C:\Mach3 folder.

Find the Mach3Mill.xml, Make a copy of it and Re-Name the copy to a unique name,  PJ Mach3Mill.xml should work.

Use the "REPLY" Button then Attachment Option, "Browse" to C:\Mach3 and find the file, Double click on it and Post.

Hope this Helps, Chip

he doesnt have any machine hooked, he is just trying to get the hang of the software, running code etc so wont need pins asigned, just needs axis enabled. Maybe you should look here www.specsavers.co.uk/cgi-bin/strudwick.sh/s?langid=1&pfmt=1&siteid=39&pname=home.html then go read the first few posts ;)

Dear Hood,

Thanks for your kind .xml checked. I was tried this Mach 2,3 with 6~9 desk top computer and only got blue screen for every sets until downloaded to HP notebook, Pentium M processor,1.73 Ghz, 760MB Ram.  No more blue screen but unluckily for it won't run with driver installed, but the Driver tested is O.K

I supposed it should be some way of trouble shooting and make it works or this software is not compatible with notebook?

Regards,
PJ.

If you can use one of the desktops again but this time format it and just have Windows and Mach installed.
 Laptops can sometimes have issues with Mach but really its not the problems you are having. Just dont understand why you are not getting DRO movements with the driver installed.
