So I finally got to the point of getting my home cnc machine ready for running.

Problems right off the get go with the driver install.

I'm installing on a windows 7 64bit system.
version of Mach 3 is Version R3.043.066

and installing a UC100 USB motion controller (V2.148) since there is no parallel port.

When I start mach these errors pop up:

Plugin DLL Defective. Reload

UC100 V2_148.dll - Defective Plugin Found..ignoring

Plugin DLL Defective. Reload


So now what ?!
Do I have to update Mach3?
Do I have to update the uc100?

???

any help much appreciated,
thx

I'd delete all the files from the mach3\plugins folder, then reinstall the plugin for the if100

rookie mistake....

didn't realize you actually have to have the controller actually plugged in for the drivers to actually install properly...fixed now

in mach 3 in ports and pins

what do i need to set for my port address? where do i find this.

currently its 0x378 which is a printer port to my understanding...since i'm not using a printer port and the uc100 instead, i assume this needs to be changed???

[ger21]

No, the port setting is not used with the uc100

[airbrush]

No, the port setting is not used with the uc100

Do i need to un check port 1 or delete the number from the port address ?

[ger21]

I don't think it matters, but I'd uncheck it.
Have you read the uc100 manual?
