Success! Thanks for contributing and supporting this extremely useful plugin; especially with no compensation. We all owe you Dan!

Now I can commence fine tuning the installation and tackling the...

Need help! I'm trying to get the Dan's HuanYang plugin to work with 2017 screenset.

My current configuration is Win 7 (latest updates), Intel D525DM MB with 4GB RAM and latest BIOS update,...

Well there's my problem! I'm a moron! On the first laptop, I thought I saw the top 20% of another row of data fields or buttons and concluded that the screen was being truncated. Thanks for your...

I'm beginning to wonder if the Zip you sent me was corrupted somehow??

Just to get another data point, I installed Mach 3 and 2010 on my ThinkPad P50 with 1922 x 1080 native display and...

2010.set and yes, I have restarted Mach a number of times.

Already in that exact configuration...

Hey Guys, I'm trying to port MACH3 and 2010 Screenset over to a laptop to drive a Smooth Stepper. I have tried it on two laptops, both with native 1366x768 resolution displays with the 2010.set...

Sorry for my lack of attention to post details:-( Yeah, I changed to -062 on your suggestion. And thanks for report on UC products. I will try it on the new build!

Gerry,

No Need for refund. You have provided at least $20 worth of support in good faith even if I never get it working. This seems to be a gremlin that is tougher than the value in finding it....

Answers:
- It moves down at normal speed until first touch, then up MUCH slower (Tick, Tick , Tick), then when reaching 1mm off the plate, back down at about same (100x?) slow rate.
- this is the...

This exact rig has worked fine for the last 7 years. Today it still executes very large G code files flawlessly. I am certain that I probed the correct port an pins as this is the port connected to...

Roger,

Great explanation of the Mach3 LPT driver. It could be as you say, but I reinstalled the driver 3 days ago after a fresh install of -062 version of Mach3. See results of the driver test I...

I did get the scope on the LPT port and confirmed that the step pulses are the issue. Direction acts fine. Results of the Driver Test:
353456

Tried upping Z motor pulse to 5mS (as high as it goes) and get same results. I have noticed that the probing is actually doing the correct motions, just at extremely slowly speed after the first...

Surprisingly the Z DRO goes back up!! And the Stepper is going up as well, but it is as if it is just getting one step every 500mS. I am using G540 with 10 micro steps, so one step is almost...

Gerry, thanks for lightning fast reply! answers to questions:
- The behavior is exhibited during both Initial and Simple Auto Zero.
- I installed 3.043.062 two days ago, replacing 3.043.066....

Yesterday I constructed a Schmidt trigger debounce circuit on a bit of strip board with a 74HC14. I used a 1uF cap and 6.7kOhm R to give 6.7mS debounce. I installed it this morning and although the...

Gerry, I sent XML by email. When probing for Z zero, the Z axis moves down until it touches the plate and then stops, After about a second, it attempts to move further down and the sound of the...

It is interesting that debounce does not effect probe input. I got 3.043.062 installed and then tested simple zero just now with same erroneous behavior. Any ideas for next step?

I am using old school Windows XP with parallel port run by Mach 3 V 3.043.066 - no motion controller at all. I cannot yet find a link to V 3.043.062 at the NewMangled solutions website.

UPDATE -...

Gerry, No worries, all things in their good time:-)

I guess I'm thinking it could be a triggering issue, not necessarily a bandwidth limitation. For now I am stumped.

If I ever get it solved, I will surely post the fix for you.

I was reading the thread in the wrong order when I assumed the macro was suggested as a fix to our issue. It is not necessary. I am still working on the assumption that the issue is noise, but I...

Thanks Roger, Absolutely right. I ran it up to 6ms to get a troubleshooting data point. I normally run it at 1ms with no issues, although 6 ms translates to just .001" at 10 ipm.

Noting the...

Ritmeester, Did you ever get your auto zero probing to work properly? I am having the exact same issue. I downloaded and installed the new M909.m1s file into my profile macro folder and restarted...

Success! Typing in the paths worked. Thanks Dan!!

Hey Dan, Just question marks:

Postprocessor
?
Tool_Library
?
Axis_Mode
0
Rotation_Axis_1
1,0,0

Hi Dan, I did as you suggested and selected the machines folder, however as before, after navigating to the post processor folder from the machine options tab, the folder appears empty and no...

I'm having a similar problem. I uninstalled and re-installed from a fresh download with same results. Although when looking in the 5XCNC Program Data folders, all of the post processors, cutter...
