Mach3 guidance

[nimbhuee]

Hi, I'm from UK and new to this form, so hello to you all. I have built my first CNC router and will be using mach3 and have in-counted few problems.

The Artsoft video's tutorials are good, but somebody with mach3 background would be of great help for guidance.

Thanks
Nim

What are the problems you're having?

Hi Gerry,


Thanks for your quick response,

I am trying to load a small cutting sample onto mach3 and cannot see the g'code on the screen?

The sample file is saved as N2.Ink

The Macg3 screen file is showing

C:\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows|Recent\N2.Ink


Thanks

Try renaming the file to N2.txt or N2.nc

Can you upload the file here?

Gerry, my guess is that the file extension is .lnk (.LNK) and it is a Windows link file, not something that can be loaded into Mach3.
