I was just about to reply with a "already knew about those", and then figured id try WITHOUT the Nema 42 jumper installed. Turns out my resonance has disappeared. I ran a feed test from 0 - 135 ipm...

I have a garage built RF45 mill. I have a 2830 oz/in Nema42 on the z-axis. I bought such a big motor years ago because I didn't want to be undersized. I have found that I have severe resonance at 50...

Apologies, our server host provider changed IPs on December 25th and I hadn't noticed. Back up now.

Please read the website. http://www.machpendant.com/

I havent heard of any effect on mach timing thus far (700+ copies sold). Mach does a pretty good job of maintaining priority.

I recently learned the ins and outs of...

I'm almost ready to launch a new version of the app and server applet that has MUCH better support for webcams.

Basically, I've changed the mindset for webcams. All you need to do is plug the...

Weird about my inbox. Ill check it out.

Absolutely I can share my dimensions with you. Shoot me an email at mmaat AT ualberta DOT ca. One thing to mention off the bat, when you make the coolant...

What gauge steel did you decide to go with?

Also, as a tip for anyone else wanting to build their own, use "nutserts" instead of nuts. They rivet into the holes and provide a nice deep threaded...

Glad to hear it! One thing of note, if you check that troubleshooting page under the "Applet can't see Mach3" section it tells you how to set the program to always run as administrator so you don't...

I hate to give you a very generic answer, but have you worked through the troubleshooting on the website? It usually, at the least, points to where the problem is occurring (firewall, mach3, etc.)....

Thanks for the feedback guys

Very good point. So If you can do it easily using 2.5D strategies, you're usually better off using them. And HSR is really geared towards machining where later operations need to know what has...

I think I've got a good handle on the differences now.

Next question. HSR and HSM seem to be always referenced as a duo. However, is HSR always strictly the precursor to HSM? In other words, if...

So is it fair to say then, that if you had a model that was mainly flat surfaces, but had a couple radiused faces on it you'd be best using traditional pocket & profile strategies and then use HSS on...

I've done lots of 2.5D work with solidcam but I'm starting to foray into 3D. As far as I can understand so far, HSR is basically just a single operation that would basically be the same as multiple...

The tcp ports are installed as part of the server applet. You will probably need to set up the firewall pass through differently for Windows 8. I cannot confirm that the applet will work with Windows...

This should be fixed on the latest version. If not, please let me know.

Sorry guys, this skin is dead in the water. I was going to post up the PSD files for it and let the community do what they want with what was finished so far but I somehow managed to delete/lose...

Great Video, dont know how I missed it!

If the battery dies or wifi drops, as far as I have tested, mach3 carries on as if nothing was connected

Great, ill push it to general release now :)

If you get a chance, upload some video on youtube or something so I can see your setup in action with Mach Pendant!

Give this a try, replace the server applet version you have directly with it. Ignore the "new version available" alert, this is a beta release. This *should* bypass any issues mach has with running...

Try typing M997 in your MDI in mach3 and see if the auto zero runs. If it does, try typing it into the MDI on mach pendant and see if it runs. Let me know what you find out. We'll eliminate all the...

Hmmmm.... So this is somewhat strange. It seems that everything from mach pendant's end is working fine but Mach3 is crashing when running certain macro's through the external commands. Obviously...

Try editing your macro and only putting this in it:

Message ("THIS IS A TEST")


Let me know if the message pops up when you click the macro button or if it hangs. Typical developer excuse, but...

Okay, I did a little bit of digging. Rather than using Macros in Mach3's macro folder, it looks like the MachBlue/BigTex probing routines are programmed right into the buttons. So, what you can do is...

Hehe, not saying it was Mach3's fault......but the program can be really "enjoyable" to work with sometimes ;)

Yep, you'll need to accomplish that through a macro. I suggest doing some research on...

Can you "step" with a keyboard attached to the PC? Also, when you change between continuous and jog as well as the step increments, do the changes reflect visually in mach3 on the "virtual pendant"...

Great explanation. You can definitely run the application without Internet access as hannamand has explained

For the installation it may be trying to access microsoft's site to download the .net framework. You should be able to download it from here Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile...

Great feedback, thanks!
