Hi guys.. I bought a 6040 machine a couple of years ago, and finally got around to plugging it in last night. (Moved house, apathy, etc)
After lots of fiddling, it seems to work. I can use the arrow keys to move x... y... z... all good.
On the settings i'm using, manually saying to go 10 along X, actually goes 10mm along X.
I opened a couple of the Gcode files included with the evaluation version of Mach3 I downloaded (as it never came with ANY software or instructions), and it seems to work. But... in minature.
I assume all the gcode files are made somehow scaled with inches, but the machine (and my settings) use MM. So it's doing it (mid air runs), but really really small.
Do I have some other settings incorrect? Or do I need to find some different gcode files scaled for MM?
thanks
