Here is my setup:-
Bridgeport series1 converted to CNC
CSMIO-IP/A controller
AC servos all round
Tool length comp taken by the knee axis with custom M6 macros
Mach3
My issues:-
Mach3 and CSMIO controllers have a very chequered past concerning probing - I have spent weeks on this now, got probing running and written a lot of macros only to find Mach3 is now unstable and crashes out randomly when loading the probing wizard after running something simple like a Z probe routine. There are many other bugs but this one is fatal every time and needs a re-boot followed re-referencing all axes.
I now feel it is either time to forget probing all together OR ditch Mach3 completely.
CSLABS have there own software under way BUT its only in beta and they chose Python scripting which i very much doubt i will ever be able to understand.
Is there any other option for me - I need analogue servo drive outputs and customisation options.
