It was due to an older version of Mach3 on that computer. I remembered I had been running it off of another PC and viola, no more issue.

Hi all. My first post in this section of the forum, long time forum user/lurker. I have a little enco 9x20 lathe that I converted to cnc, running on a 5 axis breakout and mach3. I had this project in...

So, I decided the dev time on building my own control from scratch wasn't worth the wait and I went with the iMach pendant. It's great.

Now, I'm having a horrible time setting up my motor...

Sadly, I do not meet the requirements either. However, I am attempting to add some functionality to a mach3 machine I am building and can't find any documentation on the programming of Mach3...

So, after looking over the iMach stuff advertised here, I see that they interfaced their controls using the plug-in functionality of Mach3. I'm guessing they're using a standard FTDI interface, but...

So, I've been working on my conversion and finally got the machine and both axis operational. I have some build pics I can gather up for a future post. I used a 2 axis kit from Probotix and it went...

I recently had to swap a regular 15" lcd monitor out with my monochrome CRT because it kept going black on me(CentV). My company is notoriously cheap and considers hanging a flatscreen over the old...

I'm working on a 9x20 convertion of my own. I see there have been several nice ones through here, though some of the threads have fallen silent. I snagged a 2.25HP motor w/ controller from a...

Thanks J. I meant to create those programs for my own educational purposes.

So, I've got the parametric programming going and that's saving me lots of space, but I've got the go ahead to to...

Sounds like you are on the right track. Mechanically, I can't understand how the motion or control of the 3 axis is any different than a cnc, so I would and will focus on the printing half of the...

I recently had a similar problem. There are excess travel limit switches and the home limit switch. You may have a severed wire to one or more of these switches as some of them are set up in series....

Might I suggest looking into arduino or one of the similar microprocessor boards to handle your circuit management? They are very user friendly, easy to interface with, powerful, and very well...

I'll have to check the s/n on it, but it is running a 486x, so from your other post I deduce that it's either a B or C. There are DIPS in place, though I am familiar with curcuit level design and...

I've noticed that most of the extruder type machines usually have small, square build areas. Is this a limitation of the type of printing or just caused by cost limitations? I am interested in...

Any ideas where to find some RAM for this dinosaur? I have several slots open and could certainly use it!

Thanks for those tips! I'll definately check it out. I'm really wanting to upgrade the floppy to a flash reader/floppy adapter, but there's no point if the drive doesn't even read. Is there any...

On my Cent V the best results have been achieved by designating the X,Y,Z,R, & F on the G83 line with the Q optional. You can designate the Q, if you don't the machine will create a division for you,...

Thanks for the reply. Just having the proper name will help me read up on it and begin to get a base with which to experiment and try to figure it out. Unfortunately, the owners of the machine aren't...

Hello all, long time lurker, first post. I've got a VM-16 with a Cent V control and I've been getting pretty comfortable with it. The guys I'm working for aren't willing to do anything in the way of...
