No coms port, that's why I went for the uc100 which is fed by USB cable.
Perhaps I've got the same problem, I'll have a look.
My UC100 occasionally stops communicating, losing the light, normally about half way through a job. It gets lost say every 10-15 startupsĬheck there are two LEDs lit on the dongle itself I have problems with mine with "uc100 not detected" it's been tracked down to the USB cable not being fully secure in the uc100 dongle it's a poor connection. The uc100 needs a specific Mach 3 obtainable from their website. Yes the uc100 is powered up from the usb before I open M3 but it makes no difference. Have you tried powering up the UC100 before opening M3? With that I find that I need to power up the controller before launching Mach3 for the latter to recognise it's connected. The only comparable experience I have is with the plugin for the XBox wireless controller. Nothing else works but presume I'll have to configure the outputs manually unless there's a better way of doing that? Fortunatly I kept screen shots of my previous installation.įorgot to say looked in config, plugins and the uc100 box is ticked. Downloaded the automatic installer, ran it again and Mach came up with the setup screen, selected uc100 controller and the emergency stop now works! Thanks for the quick replies and prompts. I think you need to open the config menu in Mach, then select configure plugins to enable the various drivers. No experience of the UC100 but have used CNCdrives other stuff, you probably need to install an add-on for it to work, also be aware there a counterfeit ones of these knocking about apparently, below is a link to the page on there website it includes a download for the setup which presumably contains the add-on. Make sure that the PC is connected to the internet as differences in firmware will prevent it from running, these will be corrected if there is a connection. Powering both machine and PC down and rebooting solved this ( I have no idea why ). I have recently had a problem with my UC300 where on switching the PC and machine on it appeared dead. This screen doesnt appear and of course the mill doesnt work! Tried re installing everything with the same results.Īnyone had a similar problem when using a UC100 controller? However the UC100 instructions show a screen when you start Mach so that the UC100 can be selected. Installed Mach 3 on my windows 7 computer making sure I left the parallel port un ticked and followed the reboot instructions, also intstaled the UC100 driver.
