Run Old Software On Windows 10 With Compatibility Mode

You might have some older program that you still need to use, but it doesn’t work correctly. Here is how to Run Old Software On Windows 10 With Compatibility Mode

why is quietness important?? if you limit the motor current with whatever setting ability you have with your driver you can get it quieter but with less power. microstepping can also be quieter. playing with acceleration and speeds can also effect noise but you have to decide what is important quietness or other aspects of performance. if you really need quietness most and pretty good performance you might do better with servo motors. steppers are just inherently noisier.?

Hi, I am new to cnc machines and I was wanting to know if anyone can help me with tweaking of my stepper motors. I am trying to make it sound as quiet as possible but I cant find out how to tune the motors properly.? Any help will be much appreciated?

Re: Machine e stop activated mid cut
A couple of things to check. ?1) Version of Mach3. ?The version ending in “.062” is the most stable and may eliminate your problem. ?2) In config set the Debounce to 1000 and give it a try. ?If that eliminates the problem take the Debounce down to 500 and check it out. ?If all is well take it down to 200 and check.

Hi, I am new to Mach 3 and I am having a problem with my cnc router. I make the G code on easel and load it on to my cnc computer on mach 3. The cut starts of okay but at random points the machine e stop is activated without me pressing it. I'm not sure if this is a cnc issue or mach 3. Any advice would be much appreciated.?

Re: Machine e stop activated mid cut
No or NC switch EM stop config?
noise (electrically induced signals) on your wires could be causing it

I also use Machscreen on a computer that is still running Vista, it's difficult to connect it to the internet.

Re: pokeys almost working
i finally got the counter to work. i had connected an electromechanical counter to the flood solenoid. i only really need a counter for one part that is so boring to make that i want to make only as many as needed for the current order. i do not need both mist and flood so i can use the flood to control the counter. works great, however i did want to do it in software and the suggestion on this list led me to a solution that really works.?
i made two macros for M12 and M13? ?i added a user DRO an also a reset button. M12 increments the DRO and M 13 resets it to 0
Rem M12.m1s? macro
count=getuserdro(1200)? count=count+1? setuserdro(1200,count)?
setuserdro(1200,0)?
Also I think I really have the little Lenovo solid state drive Ultra small form factor win 10 64 bit machine really running Mach3 with a Pokeys DB 25 type and PDMX 122? if anyone is interested in details I can write something up. I removed a lot of windows shit some of which is not easy to remove such as the not uninstallable bullshit apps and the scheduled garbage of which there is a lot.?

Spencer?I don’t use Mach3 anymore but i would think this would work. Get the B axis DRO number and change it using a Mcode. Follow these instruction. Glenn
the B axis is enabled. i have tried every possible choice for ports and pins although i am sure this does nothing if the machine is using the pokeys.?
i just did another sanity check. when i went to ports and pins B was not active even though I had selected it before so i thought ???? well after selecting it again, it still does not work. I used the MDI and it works for X Y Z and A but not B.
In the config utility for Pokeys there is no B axis that can be configured or at least I can not find anything.
i reset the motion control device selection at startup in fcn config so it asks each time i start mach3? if i choose no device i can change the B axix in the MDI? if i choose Pokeys, I can't. i think this really suggests that it is a Pokeys issue.

G-code moves shouldn’t depend on what motion controller you are using. ? Telling Mach to move the B axis by “1” should move it whether you have a parallel port, pokeys, Smoothstepper, etc. ? Is it possible that you have not enabled the B axis in your new setup? ? If you use the MDI to command ? G91 G0 B1 G90 ? Does the DRO change? If not, you need to look deeper than the pokeys, at the rest of your setup. ? ? that is exactly what i have in my gcode and it worked perfectly with the parrallel port and mach3. i don't think it even mattered what pins or ports i had assigned to the B axis. the "moves" changed the B axis DRO. Now with the Pokeys I can not find any way of getting the B axis DRO to increment. Best regards, Spencer Chase

i just did another sanity check. when i went to ports and pins B was not active even though I had selected it before so i thought ???? well after selecting it again, it still does not work. I used the MDI and it works for X Y Z and A but not B.
In the config utility for Pokeys there is no B axis that can be configured or at least I can not find anything.
i reset the motion control device selection at startup in fcn config so it asks each time i start mach3? if i choose no device i can change the B axix in the MDI? if i choose Pokeys, I can't. i think this really suggests that it is a Pokeys issue.

G-code moves shouldn’t depend on what motion controller you are using. ? Telling Mach to move the B axis by “1” should move it whether you have a parallel port, pokeys, Smoothstepper, etc. ? Is it possible that you have not enabled the B axis in your new setup? ? If you use the MDI to command ? G91 G0 B1 G90 ? Does the DRO change? If not, you need to look deeper than the pokeys, at the rest of your setup. ? ? that is exactly what i have in my gcode and it worked perfectly with the parrallel port and mach3. i don't think it even mattered what pins or ports i had assigned to the B axis. the "moves" changed the B axis DRO. Now with the Pokeys I can not find any way of getting the B axis DRO to increment. Best regards, Spencer Chase

Perhaps a macro or sub
G91 ;enter incremental mode
b1? ?; move/increment B by one
G90 ;enter absolute mode
TIA
