Lets get it tested and then we can worry about the license. I want this 
thing to make you smile when? you turn it on everytime :)

 thanks for the offer. i am going to read all the manuals tomorrow, i 
 have tons of waiting time all day. i will then know which custom 
 things i can eliminate. i already have figured out a few and if there 
 is anything i still need i will let you know.

 i am getting parts made, i just have to stay glued to the estop with 
 mach3. i was supposed to be able to do other things while making parts 
 but i have lost too many $20 router bits. no big deal if they have 
 made hundreds (record is thousands) of parts but when the break of on 
 the first part that is really annoying. each part takes about 70 
 seconds to make and sitting there like an idiot with nothing to do is 
 really annoying.

 i am licensing mach4 i feel guilty using so much of your time. however 
 i am a really cheap bastard. any coupon codes? is there any reason i 
 might need the commercial version? if i discover i do, can it be 
 upgraded?

 Hi Spencer,

 Yes it is 100% redone and only has less than 1% of the Mach3 code in 
 it. Now the GUI is one part that is WORLDS apart from Mach. The 
 reason for this was to give the people that where asking for features 
 a way to get them. Hot keys are done in the keyboard plugin and are 
 treated like normal inputs. This was done to help with people making 
 control panels so the? actions done in the control panel would be the 
 same action done by a KB or a Pokeys or even a PLC. Also? you can use 
 the PMC that is like the brains in Mach4 to tie logic together and 
 make things happen as well.


 We did make a tool to view the settings from Mach3 .. it is an XML 
 reader wizard. That should help you I hope...


 Spencer, Tomorrow I will help you get rolling and we will get your 
 parts made. Could you please send me your XML so I can have a look at 
 your settings? I will make a profile for you and get whatever you 
 need working. Also if I I can do anything to help make the machine 
 better for you to use in the process I will do that at the same time.


 Thanks
 Brian

 mach3 ESS

 i have been trying to get mach4 to work but it is just too confusing 
 to me. i understand that the program is completely rewritten but why 
 not adhere to some conventions of mach3 as to where to find and set 
 stuff.

 i can make absolutely no progress with hotkeys and MDI does not work 
 and motor tuning is totally wrong even though it shows correct 
 values. motion when running a program is nuts i must have active 
 highs and lows swapped but ????

 has anyone written a tool for using a working mach 3 configuration 
 to set up mach4 with ESS.

 now for the truly bizarre.

 i noticed this yesterday and immediately estopped but today i 
 decided to let it run and see what happened.

 i am running a program that calls a sub many times more than i would 
 ever use it with a tool change to allow for parts change.

 when i started after a tool change the motors went through a totally 
 bizarre song and dance. could not recognize the tune. i was sure it 
 would crash but it just undid the strange movement and then acted as 
 if nothing happened.

 anyone ever experience this?

 and one more request. i have 3800 parts to make and am getting tired 
 of the occasional hiccups with mach3 and really did want to migrate 
 to mach4 but i just can't seem to do it. i am taking heavy drugs for 
 stage 4 prostate cancer and i know my mind is fogged. programming 
 that i could do in my sleep is a serious challenge, i get confused 
 really easily. i also ideally want to get the machine working well 
 enough that i can train someone else to use it when i die which 
 could be soon.

 I also think that if i get everything ready for others to take over 
 i will live forever :) Seriously at this point my case is eluding 
 the doctors and it might be possible for me to live another 10 years 
 but if i suddenly get too sick to work it will be too late to set 
 this stuff up for others to use.

 I REALLY NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN SET UP MACH4 FOR ME. I am sure the 
 company i work for (owned by my sister) will pay a fair rate for help.
