Hi- Is the a way to execute simple lines of g-code from a macro ( mo3, g01 etc. )? If so what is the proper way to enter this info into a macro. Thanks Todd...
Hi Todd, I was wondering this also, at least can I call a function or similar also, I think its a subset of VB scripting and can call some predefined( not user...
good day all, I'm going to update my controller/motherboard and was wondering if an AMD Duron 1.47 ghz processor and 512 megs of ram will be potent enough to...
Hi Jeff, I have been running all the mach software, including the latest version on a PII 233 with 128mb ram and win 2000, it works perfectly. Last week I got...

... Steve, I'm in the process of changing over to M2 and have just checked the spindle Step / Dir circuit. Using a 100Mhz 'scope I can see that a lot of...

Welcome back, how long were you gone two months? Seemed that long without our leader. Leader?, I think I'm more of a building "super" who fixes pipes when the ...
Murky indeed... Macro's were originally designed so I could reuse code, but they didn't work out that way. Instead they are used to create usefrull subroutines...

I'm a little confused on the wiring of my Rutex drives. Perhaps someone can help? There is a line "stepper/spi" what is it for? and "ERR/DOUT" what is this...
Robert, To get your drive going, don't worry about Stepper/spi or Err/Dout - these are used when you're trying to interface it to a PC for changing parameters...

Hi: I'm not fully back yet, but thought I would add a note on the SPI/Dout rutex lines. I am adding capability to read those lines and do a tuneup test from...
Art. That sounds great, when do you think I will be able to tune the rutex through mach2? It might be faster than me getting an old windows computer together. ...
