I am old too and do not like to learn new stuff unless there is likely to be a big payoff. my particulars might be different from most. i make about 150 small parts in a session. the program is

Ditto! I just spent the day downloading and reading all the Mach4 manual. The first thoughts that come to mind is all through the late 80's and 90's, how many people use to update their computers

I bought a small BoB from China that looks something like this. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33015669728.html It came with a mini CD and a copy of MACH3. I have my own licensed copy so don't

i don't know about a list but i can't think of anything better than ESS together with a parallel port breakout board like the PMDX -- Best regards, Spencer Chase 67550 Bell Springs Rd. Garberville,

Can someone point me to a listing of current motion controllers that work with Mach 4, please. Sent from my Atari 2600 Regards, -Joemac

Those are pretty cool. John

Mach3 is free? That’s news to me. I get that it is some money but at the end of the day I have way more in cutting tools than I have in the software. This is not a cheap hobby. But you can make

maybe you are young enough that wasted time does not matter as much as it does to us "senior citizens" if i had gotten mach4 years ago i would probably have saved enough in broken cutters to pay for

The other alternative is LinuxCNC which does still run with printer ports or with MESA boards that like the ESS use Ethernet to parallel port. The 7i92H is what I'm using and is cheaper than the ESS.

I would love to upgrade to Mach4 but the combined cost of a new controller (to replace the printer port one for a USB or network one) and the software license, makes it a huge jump, especially for

i like to think of myself as a special needs individual. when i was young i probably gave no thought to seeing stuff. i could see from literally 2 inches to infinity. and i could see at night. now i

At the end of the day it is in the screen designer so you can change the font and colors to anything you like. I am just trying to make something that works better for the older guys. BTW I feel like

I like the contrast. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 Sent: Friday, April 2, 2021 10:43 AM To: MachCNC@groups.io Subject: Re: [MachCNC] mach4 High contrast colour schemes are garish but

High contrast colour schemes are garish but essential for some of us old folks. Low contrast—shades of gray – look sophisticated but are mostly illegible. Why not make the colour scheme and font

Hi Guys, I have been working with Spencer in the background and he made a good point that the colors in the gray screens are a bit hard for people to see. We have been working on a simpler screen for

This might be the nudge I need to move over to Mach4. As a hobbyist I only get so much time in the shop. Making my time there more efficient would be amazing! Thank you! yahoo.com@groups.io>

I am being tempted also is there a special price discount to upgrade? Jim

Spencer, It is great to hear you got it all sorted out. I'm still running M3 on an old XP machine and am happy with it, but you are tempting me to look into the upgrade. Thayer

There were suggestions in the past about upgrading to mach4. I thought mach3 was OK and why learn all new stuff? Well the reason is that mach4 is so much better, it is well worth the learning even
