Yes using Big Tex 3.4, parallel port, mx3660 controller

I do appreciate all the input I was just going to buy Gerry’s screen set but wasn’t sure it would work with old setup. This all started after a couple of failed button scripts to zero xy laser...

No Joy, tried safe Z for all co-ordinates. When back to my 1024 to get a job done, seems like it works fine with M6start from Big tex, i overwrote it by mistake, thought I copied and pasted but not...

Thanks for the quick response, I downloaded Big Tex's tool setter 3.4 and have it mostly working but after every zero routine my Z crashes to the top limit switch. I have to stop it before the limit....

Ger, Does you 2010 screen set work on Win XP? Yep still runnin the 1024 set and XP. :) I have a leadshine 3660controller.

Thanks
Jim

It's an old woodworkers trick, rub it all down with a coat of Johnson's paste wax.

I notice that my Rhino options are only loading defaults. I'm trying to save document properties with my defaults but after I change them and start a new file the defaults change back to original. I...

Thanks Dan,
I think I figured it out but it might be a workaround. I had tried the solution you suggested and it would not retain the paths. I then saved the selected paths to the 3 axis machine and...

I migrated my copy of Rhino and madcam to a new W7 Pro PC recently. I've noticed that when I try to load cutters they always default to the MM cutter library. And my post processor always defaults to...

I use nylon 1/4 20 and recess them into the spoil board. They hold well but I use more just in case. They have the added advantage of not breaking my bits if I screw up - which is often.

Hey preeb, Hugh fan of your work, I work with Ken McKay. I built my first S type with lots of references to your tpdri posts. Which machine did you buy? I have a raptor.

Hi Ginvinc,
Here is a link to the information you need,

www.SuperPID.com - Super-PID Closed-loop Router Speed Controller

Right now I'm still using the Super PID in manual mode, just...

Thanks Dan,
Yes a have a variation of the M6 command now.

Looks like I may have figured it out. Not exactly sure but I redid the model with nothing but curves. I had a couple of curves that were not joined. then I reset the Rhino options for tolerances and...

Thanks Gregore,
I have 3 Axis machine and Mach3 chosen for my post processor so I think it's correct. I've created multi tool/ toolpath programs previously and its worked, I'm thinking I may have...

Ok tried to watch a couple of post videos on Utube, verified that all my tools were save, checked the options box to "save each toolpath in cutter tool child layers". No Luck, I noticed that the post...

Btw I'm using 64 bit Rhino and the MadCam plugin. I run Mach 3 on my machine. I have a 3 axis Raptor.

Hi,
Pretty newbie here, I'm trying to post process a job with 4 toolpaths and 3 tool changes. For some reason MadCam is not generating the tool change command between toolpaths. M6? I think. When I...

Got my router to run with Mach 3 using the M3 command. The problem was I had the incorrect port picked for the spindle, I can turn it on and vary the speed, I haven't tried the M5 command to see if...

Hi I purchased the MX3660 from Xzero CNC and I'm trying to get the Super PID speed controller to work with Mach 3. I've configured it using the PWM out and Output to control the on off. I'm able to...

Just finished my build on the X-zero Raptor and MX3660 controller with Mach3 and now I'm trying to configure my Super-PID, Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the MX3660 and PID? I've got it...

The Name is Jim,
New to CNC, Hobbyist and Luthier, Electronics Technician. Hoping to get my PID working correctly!
