Hi,
I am still in the process of retrofitting an Extron milling machine and have it up and running with Mach3 and a Kanalog/Kflop board.
It's working well but I am having difficulties with the table display.
I have watched the video tutorials, numerous times, and my table display is a dotted outline, rather than the solid brown of the video, and the crosshairs are magenta instead of yellow. Is this an upgrade to Mach3 since the video was done or a problem with my setup?
The machine Homes with the table running left, in the X axis, and away from the column in the Y axis, and up in the Z axis.
These are all in the positive direction.
So, by my reckoning, the Home position is the back righthand corner of my table. But that is not how the video tutorial shows it.
To back out of the Home position I have to press the lefthand (-) arrow, on the Jog control screen.
But the table display, when I load G-code, appears in the upper right section of the screen with the drawing in the lower left.
The table is 965mm in the X axis and 460 in the Y axis.
Using a clockface as an analogy, loading the Roadrunner file puts it as a speck down at about 8 o'clock with the table display up in the 12 - 3 o'clock sector.
I need some help to reduce my confusion here
Any suggestions??
