I recently upgraded from Mach2 to Mach3 for my Taig CNC mill and am having problems with the Ports and Pins config. settings. Can anyone help? Thanks, Mike...
I want to implement automatic feedrate override for MACH. Can you suggest good methods? Theory: from my servo controller I designed to have an output...
So I read the replies... what is better? a macropump, or kind of brains solution? To me it seems that with MODBUS + Brains we would have the optimal solution...

Hi : You could do it with a brain by recieving a input from the modbus of load, and doing a calculation on it, then applying it to the FRO DRO.. ( in theory...

Hi, Up to until recently I have thought that in order to control Mach using external controls/buttons one must use a Modbus (assuming that 2 parallel...
Hi Daniel, Have a look at the POKEYS usb modual. Art has already created a plugin for it. (;-) TP ... using external controls/buttons one must use a Modbus...

Hi: Gcode only contains the goto location, start is assumed to be always at the end of the previous line.. so there is no tolerance at all.. Tolerances like...

Hi John, I think there are others around here that can answer your question better than me. Never done rigid tapping. Thanks, Daniel ... From: John Meissner...

Yes that would be a form of rigid tapping. It does not use standard tapping cycle but it gets the job done. He could have used macros to run the cycles with...

Hi John, If I understand you correctly, you mean that using USB controllers is risky because Mach doesn't "know" whether it's "healthy" at any particular...

Art, Appreciate you looking at this. Here in Sarasota Florida we don't much reckon on metric! I've never configured in metric only imperial, which even the...
Thats not for attention deficit whatever, just another thought. This DRO is not really important unless you fiddling with over riding the feedrate and the...
