You are the second one this week. I'll think I'll see about posting one up somewhere for download, or making it a sticky.
That's a pretty common setup, and one that certain dealers don't supply any help or config files for....

In the meantime PM me with your email and I'll send you one too!

I could use that file too StepperMonkey.

You PM is offline because your box is full.

Sorry about that, took off for the holidays and a lot has been going on here!
PM box is open again! I can email it to you if you like.

I will simply post the .xml file for the taig/xylotex combo here if there is an easy way to do it - a fairly regular number of people need it as it is a fairly common combo and there are none supplied with the machines.

A Taig/G540 .xml file would also probably be a good addition as well.

Yeah I PM'ed you.

I have mach3 driving the deepgroove controller. ArtSoft has a deepgroove XML file, but I don't know what's up with it. The steps/in are all wrong and the speed's only a slight crawl. I modified it into my own XML file that seems to mostly work though it is prone to stalling, which I understand is a problem for everyone using Xylotex but the details of the settings probably have some effect on that. The thing is though I can't be certain all the details are optimum (pulse width, active low, Sherline half-pulse, etc) since so much of the original file seems incorrect.

Does anybody have this file. I have a similar setup and cant find the correct file to load settings into Mach3. I know this is a REALLY old thread, but cant seem to find the right files anywhere.

Will this work for Mach3 as well? I see this one is for Mach2.

I have no idea. Try it and report back
