Hi,
all development on Mach3 ceased eight years ago, as far as I'm concerned its obsolete.
Mach4 is the replacement and is light years ahead, and is still and actively being developed. It won't work with crappy Chinese made motion boards.

From what I hear from my customers, the XHC boards are one of the worst when it comes to running macros. I've had some have a bit of success using the Chinese macros on my website, but others haven't been able to get it to work at all.
If you want to use the 2010 screenset, I'd only recommend an ESS or a CNC Drive controller.

Hi i just bought the screenset too.
I now realised that it might not be available anymore ?
Is this project still active.
I'll try to send an email to him.
Hi, I just bought and installed the screenset, and I'm having troubles with the auto tool zero script. My probe plate is 29mm tall (I don't have the exact number in front of me at the moment unfortunately) and when I enter that number, it changes it to -29.00. When a measure is executed, after the second, slower probe, it jams my tool into the plate. It looks like the highest + value I'm allowed to enter is +.999 for some reason. I'm using a puck mounted in place to my bed.
