This was working before I uninstalled Mach 3. Under Device manager I see Mach 3 Pulseing Engine (Mach 3 Driver). I have installed Mach 4 Demo and need to set up the system from scratch. The 1st port closest to the control board is the one that was working with Mach 3, and is the one plugged into the back of the computer via parallel connection. It has four processors, 1 for each motor, and two parallel ports. I am starting from scratch since everything within the software was set up by someone else.Ģ. I am frustrated with nothing working properly between V-Carve and Mach 3. I have heard nothing but good things about both, and am not sure why I am having such issues. I have not purchased either program yet as I need to make sure they work together.
MACH3 CNC SOFTWARE DAVE GATTON HOW TO
I just cannot figure out how to get the above issues resolved. I studied and set my machine up exactly as Dave Gatton did, really only after I figured out all the settings on my own did I find that I was setting everything up correctly per the videos. I took a class and have basic knowledge along with all the tutorial videos online. Ref back to issue 1, when I try doing a dry run on the portion that displays the system stops after completing that portion and the remaining gcode disappears from the screen. When I try to press start it does not finish. When I run the roadrunner demo it will only cut to line 492 and the system stops. Second, I tried the roadrunner demo in Mach 3, which shows up perfectly in position at X0, Y0.
MACH3 CNC SOFTWARE DAVE GATTON FULL
Never get to see the full project in Mach 3. I have selected every corner and center of the starting position under job setup in V-Carve and all that does is move the project around the outside of the cutting window or dented, but still only shows that small corner of the project. When I run the program, only that section cuts.


Obviously not 0,0,0 as set up in V-Carve. Reviewing the code the start point appears as N200G00X8.4136Y6.1064Z1.000. When I load into Mach 3 the project displays 1/8th of a corner section in the upper right corner of the work space. I save the project to Post Processor Mach 2/3 Arcs (inch) (*.txt) as everywhere stated in the forums. The project displays centered and ready to cut at the home position 0,0 on my machine. First, I set up a demo project within V-Carve to a Datum Position of X0, Y0. I just purchased a sidewinder CNC with an unbinding travel of X 21.0”, Y 36.0”.
