I am having trouble with my homemade CNC router using steppers and gecko control boards. Mach 3 (latest version) is used to run maching.


I hand conduct to route wires and that worked for a...

Does anybody have any advice on creating gcode for curved mouldings. I have been experimenting with photos in 3D and have had great success. I have been using Mechcam to create my toolpath for my...

Turns out that I needed to upgrade to version 2.0.030, then I turned off the toolpath screen in Diagnostic screen when running large 3D gcodes. thanks for all your help. And a big thanks to Art!!

Thanks,

I think I have the latest version. Down loaded about a month ago. But I will check tonight. When the error code comes up it will shut Mach 3 off and return to the desk top if I don't...

I keep getting this error code when running gcodes (Error found Art Code 3336 attempt recovery) What does this mean and how do I correct. Please help!!

Thanks in advance

How do I import photos into Mach3 to do 3D? Do I need to buy this expensive software that I read about?

I am capable of importing a Dxf file into Mach3 and converting into Gcode, then carve it...

Thanks for your help!!

I'm still learning!

How do I or can I resize gcode files like the roadrunner or other gcode files to make them bigger or smaller?

Thanks to all for your help.

When I run the road runner Gcode, my spindle on/off button lights up requiring me to click it before the machine will take off, causing me to miss steps. I dont control my spindle with Mach3 , I use...

I have one, I used it, it works,


Thank you

In the direction that works I get .88 vdc on the direction pin and in the direction that does not work I get 3.48 vdc. When I unhook the direction wire, the motor runs one direction with 5vdc on the...

I am using Mach3. I have tried it using active low on the step and direction and without the setting. How does the direction pin work? I read somewhere that all it does is break ground to reverse...

My steppers go only one direction, when jogging the other way the motor just vibrates. I am using stepper driver boards, Gecko 201.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

I have checked my pins. Where do I check the bios?
Thanks,

I built a cnc router using steppers with gecko 201 control boards using a 48 volt DC power. I am using Mach2. My stepper motors are in the holding position and won't turn. I have 24 volts DC to...

Thanks for your help!!

Is Mach 3 easier to configure? Are you experinced in wiring limit switches? I am sending 5VDC through a 470 ohm resistor through 2 switches and to ground. If ground is broken then to Mach2

That worked!!! thank you. Now if I can just get it configured so that the motors will run I will be in good shape. Thanks again

I am a new user of mach2 and I accidentally lock my self out of the configuration of the demo version. Does anybody know the password to unlock Mach2 demo version?

Thanks

I need help!! I have wired my Gecko drivers to my stepers as directed. I am using a 48 volt DC power supply and have wired it. I am sending 5VDC of of pin #1 to my geckos 5VDC pin. I turn my 48 volt...
