    Hello, in the motor tuning you can set the acceleration for start and stop of the stepper motors. I want it to start and stop pretty smooth so I set the values for that. But when I load a G-Code for...
  12. Re: How to make Mach3 go line by line in the g-code?

    YES! That was the button I was searching for, thanks again Gerry! The only problem now is that if I want to go like 5 lines down I have to wait for mach3 to stop on every lines coordinates. The best...
  13. Re: How to make Mach3 go line by line in the g-code?

    Ok, yes that might be a solution. I did something like this for a couple of years ago. Back then I wanted mach3 just to go to the next line and pause. I remember that I did this with just one mouse...

    Hello, I have a g-code loaded in mach3 with 240 "g1" lines (just x,y,z-coordinates) I need mach3 to go for exampel to line five and then hold it and then to line 10 and then hold it and so on. The...
  15. Re: convert a 3d spline to gcode to control a camera movement

    Hello well that could be a way, but I think that would be difficult in my case because I am going to use 8 axis (X,Y,Z) for one computer and pan, tilt, roll, focus and zoom with another computer so I...
