Hello everyone, I got tired of sorting through posts in Yahoo groups and decided to create a full-blown forum designed specifically for machinists. There are...
I have followed the instructions, I beleive, for the installation of the Mach 3 program into my computer. Come testing time the instrution say to hook up the...
... Have you followed step by step the instructions in the new Mach Install Guide? Its on the machsupport web site. It does seem most likely you have either...
I purchased the 3 axis board kit with the 269 oz.in. motors. Can you advise the typcial velocity and accerleration settings in the Mach3 software? The machine...
Unfortunately that is a tough question to answer as it is highly dependent upon your machine. Not only the machine design but also its quality of construction...
Not directly. A Smooth Stepper board can be used if your running Mach3 as the control program. See www.warp9td.com If goes from USB to parallel ports which...
... Generally speaking, this idea is rather firmly discouraged. The reason is the indeterminate latency of the usb protocol, often running into several tens...
Dear Ron, I had asked for help before and you kindly offered a lot of help. My problem then, as it turns out, was in the BIOS of my computer (my printer port...
As I understand it, devices like the Smooth Stepper contain their own CPU and pulse generation firmware, and are sent higher-level commands from the host....
... Ahh, but in the case of a parport driven stepper driver, the program can assume the motor did what it told it to do, and bases its estimates of where it is...
... I don't understand what you're trying to say here. Stepper motors are normally driven open-loop, with the program assuming that the motors are following...
... Sounds like you are so entrenched with windows that you can't imagine using an os that is capable of this. My machine is running what admittedly is now a ...
... Personal insults are uncalled for here. In fact, my current desktop machine dual boots Windows XP and Ubuntu. Previously, almost all my thesis work was...
... Sorry. Sometimes the linux users over react, and I did use a poor choice of words there. My apologies. ... With the exception of a lappy I use when on the...
I am trying to setup my new(used) computer and software with my Xylotex 3 axis board and I can't seem to get it tuned correctly. Let me give you my specs...
... I have a hunch that machine has onboard video and it shares its ram from system ram. You will probably have to disable that in the bios and install an agp...
I was running an onboard video card, so I installed a seperate video card I had, and that didn't help. Daniel on the Mach 2 group pointed me in the direction...
... Let's play with those numbers for a moment. The Xylotex drivers are 1/8 microstep at their finest; with a "200 step" motor that's 1600 steps/rev. Suppose...
... Primarily because of insufficient voltage to drive the motor and get full torque. I can go a bit over 37 for my z axis, which has an 17/42 stepdown to a...
... Glad you got it working. Is this with the offboard video, or the onboard video? [...] -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of...
It is using the video card I added, however it didn't work either way until I went through the optimization process and reset the drivers to Standard PC. I'm...
... I wonder if the previous owner tried to "optimize" it :) ... I've never saw it running. I use linux (ubuntu-6.06 LTS) and emc2 here. All free, and very...
Since I am the previous and the current owner, I guess you could say any issues with the computer were created by me and/or Microsoft or Compaq. I purchased...
... Much, much has happened in the ensuing 5 years, particularly in the setup tools. I think it deserves a look. Now you can install either of the LTS ubuntu...
