I have been learning a lot about mach4 and am getting quite comfortable with it. I do not need to add anything other than my little parts counter and an external switch.

I would like to get xbox controller working but i just can't seem to on the router computer, only the house computer.

here is the odd behavior. i think this is an ESS issue. in mach3 i has having strange behavior at exactly the same spot. with mach4 i didn't until suddenly it also did the same thing. if i don't have the line in bold shown below (using a short dwell) the z and followiong x and y moves get combined

G1 F51 Z -1.15
G1 F31 X 1.73
G1 F83 Z .2
G4? P100 (dwell to prevent combined move)
without this line the G1 F83 Z .2 and the next G1 get combined into one move clipping off
the corner of the part? with the 100 ms dwell it moves to the z location and then to the X and Y
i checked this over and over and am not imagining it? also previously this is the exact spot where phantom moves (and usually corrections that cancelled the phantom move) happened and have happened twice now with mach4 so it must be an ESS bug or maybe something odd about my gcode that i don't understand

G52 X0 Y0 Z0 (cancel all offsets)
(SECOND WARP HOLE)
G52 X-.555 Y .875 Z -1.67
(G1 F61? Z .3 just in case)
G1 F93? X2.1003 Y0.5649

and a larger part of the context here

M9 (mist off to release clamp)
G1 F10000 A 90
M7 (mist on to set clamp)
M3 S1000
(DO DSLOT FINISH)

G1 F65? Z 0 (might be able to move a little less to finish cut might help ejection)
G52 z - 1.67
G0 X 2.1541 Y 2.7725
G1 F93? X 2.1541 Y 2.7725 (was Y 2.71)
G1 F75? Z 0.0
G1 F83 Z -.35
G1 F31 X 1.73
G1 F31 Z -.7
G1 F32 X 2.1541 (this one needs to be slower)
G1 F51 Z -1.15
G1 F31 X 1.73
G1 F83 Z .2
G4? P100 (dwell to prevent combined move)
without this line the G1 F83 Z .2 and the next G1 get combined into one move clipping off

Looks like it has to do with UAC. And it's been this way since Vista.

?

It appears to be something with WIN-10 security.? Probably in the same way that VISTA cost millions of man hours as people had to fight the system and disable the default features.

?

WIN-7 does not lose sight the P drive from a program run in administrator mode.? WIN-10 does.? For every program I tried so it's happening at the OS level. ?

?

I've asked for help on the Altium Forum to find out if there's something that logs why the program might not start every time.? Very random.? Which is why I set it to administrator mode in the first place.? Not realizing that would break access to drive P:

Do that with Altium Designer on the WIN-7 desktop and it runs every time perfectly.

Ohhh!

I've seen what you're talking about.

So the network share is mapped to P: -- and the laptop can see it and from, say, file explorer, you can traverse it -- but the program can't even see drive P:

Is it the only mapped network share on that laptop?

(I bet if you mapped more, they wouldn't show either)

I've seen this problem with Windows Apps where it's the *network shares* they fail to see - only local drives.

Very annoying indeed. I've never looked up the problem, but I know what you're talking about.

it turns out that the machine was "locked" i just unlocked it with the password of nothing.

i got the latest xbox plugin and hope that works on the real machine. it does on the home computer that is not connected to a machine.

As long as the machine is in the disabled and in in the idle state you can configure. Check to see if you can get into config as soon as you start the software. You will not have any commands run it so you should be set.

also the gcode window shows but i can not get the mdi to show.

what could i have fucked up?
