Hello group, I am looking for some assistance with a self-assembled CNC Knee mill. I used the PC the other night for another ethernet machine application, when I switched back to the ESS we weren't

When first setting up my milling machine I dual booted my PC between WIN-XP and LinuxCNC. Tested things with both Linux and the PC using either the parallel port or the USB SmoothStepper which I

All cnc should be isolated and used for cnc only. I'm an auto service tech by day. I see other shops jacking up there alignment machines all the time due to running them on a network to play games or

I agree with Tony on this one. Two machines one on XP and the other on W7. Not connected to anything else. Steve

XP may be obsolete, but it was working just fine before your old PC died. If you’re only going to run Mach3 on the new one (and you should be) what exactly is Win10 going to give you? I run

I think John got some words mixed up. True, a generic parallel dongle designed for running printers will not work for running a Mach controlled CNC machine, but the USB based UC100 from CNCdrive and

Hi Jim, MACH3 doesn’t work with Ethernet to parallel port dongles. The way it does stepping and reading encoders doesn’t with that model. I’m using USB SMoothstepper but it’s not

Hey Steve, if I go the route of the ucc-100 dongle, is there any other changes I need to make or be aware of. I’m loudly like to stay with windows 10 if possible, just for the fact XP & 7 are

As Tony said, you can use Win 7 (but it must be the 32 bit version) or you could use a USB to parallel port control dongle such as the UCC-100. Be wary of eBay sellers that may be offering knock-offs

The parallel port driver that Mach3 uses doesn’t work with Win10. You’ll need to go back to Win7 (or XP) for it to work. Tony Sent: Monday, 27 November 2023 7:44 AM To:

My old computer with XP crashed & I have found another one with a parallel port on it but it has windows 10. I have down loaded Mach3 onto it, but it does not appear to be down loading the driver. I

my hard drive crashed, and I’ve got everything rebuilt except for the ESS plug-ins ?for Mach4 build 5036. I can’t seem to find the right plug-ins for that build, and was wondering if somebody

First thing to do is run above material with the spindle turned off. If it doesn't do it, then you have a noisy spindle.

You could also be binding on the z-axis. Try removing stepper motor power and see if you can manually turn the motor shaft.

Is there a tool length off set in your tool table? You could be setting your z zerowith the tool length off and when you run the g code it gets switched on. Calum

I'm re-doing an old machine retrofit & going through my collection of parts I found a new Skyko Pixie P100 step/direction to analog servo driver I never actually used, is anyone interested in it? I

Hi Everyone, Wishing you full tables, joy, and no difficult relatives tomorrow. I’m having a problem with my Z axis in Mach 3. I open Mach 3 , set my X, Y, and Z., load in my .NC file, and

Tamra Tamra, It worked, Thanks , Chuck -sent from my iphone --

That’s a good idea, I thought by disabling i could get to work, but since it did not, I’m going to do what do you suggest? Thanks, Chuck -sent from my iphone --

You should be able to exclude the mach4 directory from the virus check in its configuration. Calum
