I have G213V Geckos running a router and milling machine and am thinking of setting up a lathe. I am interested in seeing how the G214 compares.

I had an instance of the same thing last week. In my case I used the machine the night before and then came in the next day and nothing worked.

Turned out that my xml file had gotten corrupted. ...

Thanks Gerry,

The reinstall cleared up the problem and everything is back to normal. :cheers:

Thanks,
Russ

Hi Gerry,

Actually at the moment neither works. I will try a reinstall tomorrow when I can get back in the shop.

Thanks,
Russ

I have installed a new version of Mach3 in a separate subdirectory in XP and renamed the original directory. Now when I start Mach and use the pull down menu for motor tuning nothing happens. The...

Go to the configuration page and change the I J setting to relative. It is on absolute now and that causes the circles. I have been through the same problem.

Your build is looking good. A friend built one last summer and has been using it regularly since. It appears to be a good design and will work well. You will need to monitor the bolts time to time...

Good Morning Kibble,

No tricks, It is my midi. I don't sell on ebay but a friend does. As far as the hours it was a misunderstanding. I told him that I hadn't used it much in the last couple...

I just saw a used widgitMaster Midi router on ebay. Item number 230486344543. It is the 10 x10 approximate working area. It has a CNConaBudget spindle. Has a xylotec controller and 24v power...

I have had the MC3050-R for over a year and have had a lot of fun with it I have made a few things other than just playing. I have the 4th axis wired and working well and have been playing with 3d...

Glad to see you are up and running. We have all been there and that's the great thing about the forum, everyone is willing to help. We all see things from different directions and different...

If the db25 connector is there maybe the parallel port is disabled in Bios. It wouldn't be the first time I have encountered that.

I believe the charge pump is on pin 17. I am not able to get to the shop to verify on the machine but I am pretty sure that is correct.

I chased around for a couple of hours one day trying to...

Check to make sure you have the charge pump enabled and the correct output pin set in Mach. I have encountered this problem a couple of times using breakout boards that are designed for the charge...

Are you using a breakout board that requires the charge pump signal? I have encountered a similar problem when I didn't have the charge pump enabled on the correct output pin to the breakout board. ...

Even buying a new license is worth the effort. I have been using Mach since Mach1 and can't see any reason to consider changing. It does what it is supposed to do and does it well. For the price,...

My controller has been reworked to include the 4th axis driver.:banana: I think I am getting close to the final configuration and can concentrate on playing instead of setup and installation. Now...

It looks like a ROMAXX to me. www.romaxxcnc.com. Looks like a nice machine.

Russ

Thanks again Lee,

That is what I have looking for.

Russ

Thanks Lee,

I will give that a try when I get home this afternoon.

I have been using version 1.84 of Mach3 and recently changed to 3.042. I haven't found the buttons for setting the jog step increment or the button to change from step to continuous movement. I...

Will any of the chess pieces be available for closeup viewing at the meeting in Oct? The photos are great but I would sure like to see it closeup.

Russ

Here are some pictures of some of the items I have experimented and played with since I got the MC3050-R. The nosecone is for a friend's air rocket. The spindle is experimentation for making table...

Now that is really going WHOLE HOG!:D

This is getting more exciting every day. Maybe Vectric will be offering special pricing;)

Russ

Due to other conflicts the dates for the get together at Jim's will be the 2 & 3 of Oct. Hopefully that will be suitable for everyone. I know getting a group together from such a scattered area is...

After talking to Jim this morning it was determined that the dates of the get together should be the 25th and 26th of Sept....

Jim,
I would prefer the 25/26 Sep but I think I would be able to make the 3rd. I am looking forward to seeing the gang.

Russ

The weekend of 10 Oct will leave me out. I have family reunions then. I am saving up to try to attend if possible.

Russ

I am hoping to be able to attend also. I am looking forward to meeting some of the folks on the forum.

I put together an oscillator with a 555 timer and connected it to a breakout board and gecko 201 to drive the stepper on my 4th axis lathe. It isn't a real 4th axis at this point but the lathe...
