G-Rex & mach3

[eloid]

does mach3 support G-Rex G100?

[ger21]

The Mach3 plugin is being developed right now. There was about a 1 year delay while new firmware was being written for the G100, but the plugin is expected to be completed in the next 2-3 months. You can download beta versions now.

I also posted this the other day from Art.

so with the grex G-Rex G100 G-Rex G101 you can the bob board?

Yes, the G100 replaces the BOB, it also replaces any question's one might have w/ the robustness of timing w/in windows. It also has 16 inputs, 16 outputs and 4 anologe in 4 anologe outputs as well as 6 limit inputs 6 encoder inputs and the needed step direction connections for 6 axis. It will export step direction signal's up to 4 Mhz per axis and will accept up to 1Mhz input on the encoder side [per axis] In comparison, Mach3 will only send out 45Khz of step/direction pulses.

The G100 will do everything that two breakout boards will do, and do it better, faster, and smoother. It also cost's 2-3x as much as a standard BOB.

I'm using one w/ the current Beta Plug and it run's great! There are a couple tweak's to get done before its full release.. however I'm really impressed with how well it run's even w/ just a Beta Plugin.

I am very interested in this product. Any chance you could write a bit of a review? Maybe discuss your machine, application, and the results the G100 allows?

Ignore me if this seems demanding!

I'd love to.. if I could find the time... my writing isn't probably the best either as I tend to ramble..

We'll see maybe I'll get time at some point.. its probably not worth the effort until it's "offically" released anyway..

true, they probably have some documentation planned.. videos, etc.. to get it up with the rest of artsoft documentation...

what you mentioned allready is more information than i saw since before it was made..
