Ger I would say that might be it, but I haven't made over maybe 10-12 air hook ups for testing this. I do not have a dryer on my air system yet but I didn't think a few short tests would give enough...

As the title stated, my atc is experiencing a problem that just now popped up.
When activating the open cycle of the gripper, it takes now almost three seconds
and sometimes I even have to...
Has anyone had contact with Joakim since September the 5th.
Sven, do you have any to contact him through unofficial means? DanB has not been able to contact him either!
Mike
Dan could he get what he is after by using the cut between curves feature?

Hi guys,
It is been a long time since I have needed help with configuring Mach, but I have a problem that I cannot solve.

Thanks for the replies guys. James, I can take my finger and freely move the y axis with almost no resistance. Where would I check for binding with a torque wrench?
Gerry, this is not just when...
I need help as I am basically at my wits end.
I have an old Digital Tool 902 router that uses rack and pinion gearing on all axis except the rotary 4th axis I added. This machine came originally...
hmmmm over 50 views and not a peep! This must be a difficult one.
Mike
there is always that except isn't there? I was finally forced to move to Mach3 and am now using an Ethernet SmoothStepper. This has been a saga of failure upon failure and I won't go into them except...
Dan, I am about to finally start carving again, after a long and tedious retrofit of my machine. I carve 4 axis and now I am worried after reading two post close together about 4 axis problems and...
Why don't you post the portion of the code that is causing the problem? Are you saying that the actual code that is created is wrong, but it is simulated correctly?
Mike
You know, I don't have a thing invested in this, but mmachine, I am amazed that so many do not read your posts! "If interested, please quote by pm"!
Sorry about the rant!!
Mike
I downloaded the Mach3 Blue screen, and when I try to load it, the screen is mostly black. Any ideas?
Why does this all have to be so complicated. I want a simple 4 axis screen that works like I...
Jason would it help if I sent you my spare Campbell Designs board? I am not going to install it for a little while. If you need it, pm my your address.
Mike
Jason just completed the test, and it is still not working. I followed your instructions, as well as paying close attention to the orientation of the transistor legs. I got good solder joints with...
Small business owner here as well, and the reason I selected all the choices except hobbyist.
Thanks Paul for a great site......
Mike
Jason thank you for the great customer service. Thanks for the ph call this afternoon as well. I did not have time to get to RS this afternoon because by the time I got your call, finished up at the...
Tried the zener diode. This time there is no led glow on the bob. The switch is still working because the two leds indicate the condition when the magnet is applied.
I have a digitizing probe that...
hmmmm..........has anyone been able to get Mach3 to recognize when the switch is activated with the magnet?
What I discovered is this set up using Jasons switches is trickling just enough voltage...
Ok I am now trying to get the switches to work with Mach. I am using an Ethernet Smooth Stepper and the Campbell break out board. I have the output from the x axis a side attached to the signal pin...
Jason, if the board was fried, why does xyz still work perfectly? That is the part I don't understand. You did tell me in another post that I should be able to move the a axis to any of the xyz b...
Matthew I think the folks on here are interested in seeing a price first. If I go to a website to look at a product and I have to register, send an email, give dna etc to get a price, I simply move...
Jason I am at a dead end. I replaced the cable, both usb ends are new and the switch is new. None of this as been used and regardless where I plug the usb at on the usb board, and the corresponding...
Jason, Mach is an incredible little piece of software. Now I am assuming here because I am just now upgrading to Mach 3.....yep, I used Mach 2 all this time and it was great, but I wanted to go to...
I will configure it that way then. It will be tomorrow before I post back but I will let you know the results and findings. Thank you once again.
Mike
I don't think so. Although I probably did because of the low voltage on the input showing up. I will go to the shop and check it. Can I use one of the unused sides of x y or z to trigger the a axis...
Ok Jason, so what is the problem if the switch red lite and the panel red lite is on and the magnet has no effect? Remember this is the home switch I am using.
Mike
ps I am posting these...
Jason, the funny thing is, this particular piece of cable was the only piece on the machine that never moved in a cable carrier! Go figure. You might want to "strongly" suggest the new wiring thing....
Found it. I had a short between the ground conductor and one of the others. I did the divide and conquer method of finding it!:devious: Cut it in half, and half and half and wouldn't you know it, I...
