Get CutePDF to create a "printer" that is actually the PDF writing program. I believe it allows you to set the document rights at that time.
There are dozens of programs that will write and protect...

I think it's either electrical noise or port interruptions.
Do the stops coincide with the blower from your room heater switching on? The new "motion sensing" light switch? What's new in the...

Have you run the "Drivertest.exe" file, located in the root directory of Mach? Is the signal clean?
Are you sure you didn't assign the "step" pin as the "direction" pin, and vice-versa?

Joe's Hybrid 4X4 is better, but more expensive also because of the aluminum extrusions and Vee-bearings. Welcome to Joe'sCNC.com

There is a support forum over at Artsoft, the company that makes Mach3 software. Maybe you could also post your question over there and get a definitive answer that would definitely be correct.
Now...

That's not just work ethic; it's every aspect of personal ethics in my opinion. Not being able to figure out how to cure a problem, you patch it together to get it functional then sell it off to...

I tried grinding the edges of my angle iron on my Joe's 4X4 and it was a noisy and bothersome waste of time. I ended up filing the angle on the edges - only took about 5 minutes per 6-foot piece. ...

Surfaces can be a real problem, especially if you have a curved surface that runs into another curved surface, such that the combined radius at some point in that blend is either infinitely small or...

Are you using shielded wires for those home and limit switches? Is the shield connected to ground at the controller card end only?

Let's look at this another way; There are either of two possibilities here, and I'll leave it to you to calculate the probabilities of each, to lead you to the solution of your quest:
1) You are the...

EMC2 - "It can simultaneously move up to 9 axes and supports a variety of interfaces."

How much more confirmation do you want? LinuxCNC.org - About

1) I've gotten reasonable support for questions from Keling in the past. They didn't drive to my house bearing gifts, but the questions were answered. Maybe they didn't understand what you were...

Jameco Electronics :cool:

KCam, EMC2, Mach3, TurboCNC,and other CNC related software links. about half way down the page.
I use Google Sketchup for the CAD and the PhlatScript plugin for G-code generation, then Mach3 for the...

You posted a serious question, I thought you wanted a serious answer. Sorry, my mistake.

Sorry, I forgot to include the flowers and poetry, to soothe your mind and ease you into the truth. I leave that part for others to complete.

If you want to start running the machine, mount the router you have and start cutting materials.
If you want to spend a lot of money so you can brag you spent a lot of money, go finance the most...

It sounds like you forgot to solder in the pull-up resistors ("current-set resistor") across terminals 11 and 12 of the Gecko connectors. What is the per-phase amperage of your steppers? The...

Ummm - Why don't you just get the sheet metal rolled into the various conic and cylindrical shapes, then weld them together? Roll-forming is a LOT cheaper than spin-forming, and doesn't need any...

There are lots of threads about a DIY 4-axis build, here, at Joe's, I just saw one today I'd never seen before over on the Vectric Forum. Vectric Forum • View topic - cheap indexer

That's...

sorry, stuttered on the mouse button.

The angle can be bought at your local hardware store - just get the parts that weren't used to pry the pallet jack out of a ditch. Make a backstop jig for your drill press to keep all the bolt-down...

Oh yeah - I forgot to look at the Amps / phase number. :drowning:

So, who did you get them from? Name? Address?
The voltage requirement to drive those motors in series ( 32 x the sqrt of the inductance) is 32 X (sqrt 1.3) = 36.48 V so power supplies and...

Yep! :D

I'm building a "Joe's 4X4 Hybrid" that will do exactly what you need, and costs $2000 - $3000 to build if you buy all new parts and materials. You can't buy my machine, but there have been a few for...

Get some K2R Spot remover and spray the affected area after wiping off what you can. Let it dry completely and brush it off, then spray it again. It may take a few applications, but in the model...

It sounds like the glass scale is loose, or the encoder is loose and following the scale for the first 0.015"
Tell us, does the error remain in the same direction, no matter which direction you...
