Hi: All CAD's are different. Depends on the CAM software you use. There is a post for MAsterCam in the files section of yahoo's group. Other CAM programs come...
Does anyone out there use RAMS 3d ? I have used it a few years when it developed bugs , which were eventualy blamed on the windows 98 op system. Upgraded to XP...
David, Have you kept current with RAMS upgrades? I had a lot of trouble with RAMS when I first started using V1 two years ago, but after Dan DeArmond took...
Thanks That is some really good input. Rams is working on the problem, which does seem to be my machine. I have had same issue crop up in 98 and XP . When I...
Hello I seem to recall that there was a simple way to reverse the Y axis output , like a checkbox or something. Have not used this program in a while, so maybe...
Hi: In Master it would be difficult to reverse a single axis, all will reverse if you reverse the DIR signals level, In Mach2 there is a config/reversals that...
I'm new to cnc machining, and am trying to set my mill up for repeated cycles. When I zero my end mill, touch z, x, and locate y, then run the first program,...
Put a locain of start in the fist line of your program. You only have a X.5 so the Y and Z goes to where it last was. Try something like G0X0Y0Z1 or something...

I am looking for stepper motors new or used, but in good condition. Does anyone have 2 steppers 200 step./rev.,single shaft(but double shaft will be...
I am just getting back into the hobby and I got a T-20 IBM Think-Pad. I cannot get the Printer port to talk to my 5804 based stepper controller. Has anyone...
Hi: So what happens when you try? Does the program seem to run, the DRO's move..etc.., but nothing comes out the port? This can be because the legacy addresses...
Art, First, I have a test P C that works all the time.When all the cableing etc. is finished I plug this box in to make sure that all the components and wiring...
Art: If the DRO's work, it means Mach2 is convinced all is OK. The only thing generally that will stop it from working at that point is the address of the ...
Thanks Art, I have to go pick up a boat title so will continue later and try your suggestions. Thanks Arthur P. ... the ... low. ... 3 ... use ... is ... ...
Hi Art, I checked my voltage on the Printer port and its 5 volts. The DRO's do their thing when running a g-code. The parallel port in the bios is active, set...
Hi Tom: The quaetion mark is normal, I just never designed an Icon for it is all. I can't understand why no output occurs though. Do any inputs work? Like the ...
Art, no it does not sense the inputs. I tried Estop and it does not work. Now if I set the switch to a negative input in the configuration I get a Estop, but...
Tom: In the control panel's system icon , does the driver show any resource properties for the printer port?. Art www.artofcnc.ca ... From: "Tom Para"...
Ok Art. I guess you are talking about the device manager. The resource type is I/O Range And the setting is 03BC-03BF. The use automatic settings is checked....

Hi Tom: Yup, thats it. In the box in ports&Pins config where it asks for the printer port address, enter 03bc , when you hit OK and look later it will read...
Ok Art. I could not figure out how to set the address in Master5.Is this feature only available on the newer software? I downloaded Mach 2 this afternoon and...
Hi Tom: No, unfortunately, Master5 is somewhat dumber and cannot use anythign other than 278 and 378 as its printer address. They are (or were) standard back ...
Hi Art. Well I got it running. Using the 0378 address I finally got the correct combinations going. My next issue is erratic operation of the motors. Is a P3...
Hi Tom: I think it goes to the age of Master5. It is only a 8000hz pulseing unit and doesn't have the advanced pulseing engine of Mach2. It works well for ...
