G'day Guy's,
Well finally got around to setting up Mach3 on that 2.4 gig computer and doing a few trials and man what an improvement, much quicker travel on the same motor tuning setting and smooth as. Anyway the existing XP operating system was that broken with old driver software creating havoc I couldn't even get acrobat reader to work or foxit reader so went and formatted the drive and put a fresh XP system in.
Did some research on cnc software and found Heeks which does look the goods on my first play with it. So got orifice 07, latest acrobat reader, notepad++ ( g-code editing) autocad 06 and few other programs installed yesterday so this computer is now ready for playing with the CNC.
I will find a clip on choke for the parallel cable too.
Cheers Bryan
