Prepping for HS1 Arrival, MACH3 Setup Issues

[avwoodworking]

Hi,

Getting my Mach3 setup for my HS1 arrival and have some issues. Fresh install of WinXP. MACH3 version 3.043.066 (Latest version) installed. Copied xml over and it shows 714 in tuning so that part is good to go. Copied over bitmaps (.jpg) and nothing changed. Renamed the background .jpg (had an R at the end in the .zip) and now shows the Romaxx background. Only problem is, its not formatted for this version or something. The Rogers3.4.13.set that was in the .zip may be out of date for this new version of MACH3?

On a side note, when I had loaded this on my main machine running Win8, the RESET would work (even though nothing is attached) and let me run the gcode files in simulation mode. The RESET on the WinXP install does nothing.

Any insights?

Thanks

Mach3 will not run in Win8 from my last reading on it. And will in Win7 32bit only with P-port support.

The reset not clearing is correct in that is is looking for an input on PIN 10 from the machine. No machine connected it will not clear.

Mach3 changed something a while back and our screenset no longer displays correctly. Either find an older version of Mach3 or revert back to the stock 1024 screens.

Thanks. I found a program named Machscreen and edited the Romaxx screenset so it looks right now with no overlaps. However there are 5 missing button graphics. I'll keep messing with it and if I get it fixed for current version I'll post the .set file and any .jpg(s) it took to make it work.

We had the old one removed from the website the other day. If you come up with one that works, we'll put it on there for download again.

Thanks, Ron
