Drivers operating in erratic way

[Neale]

Being honest Daz I dont really understand the ins and outs.
I was advised by a chap I met at the Alexander palace model show( member of the society of experimental engineers and I understand he was their CNC guru) that in order to run Mach 3 on a 64 bit machine I needed a UC100 . It would not drive even a single stepper when I first tried .
I took his advice and it then worked.
Same gentleman guided me here so his advice seems sound enough.
He may well be reading this thread !

Probably me, although "guru" is putting it a bit strong. Sorry I can't help with UCCNC issues as I have never used it for real, just had a look at the demo version. I have had graphics card issues myself, although installing the latest graphics driver helped the last time this happened. Glad you found this site - great source of help and sounds as if someone is now guiding you.

Hi Neale , and nice to hear from you again. Sorry if you feel that guru is too strong a term (I did not set out to cause embarrassment) but your colleagues on the stand on that day clearly felt you were their specialist , and therefore the man to advise me . I certainly appreciated your advice . Thanks again

While UCCNC will be an interesting sideline for me, the urgency has abated due to the fact that Mach 3 seems to be working for me at the moment.
I still do not fully understand why but I suspect that the quality of Kit was my main Issue, so am keen to explore that topic
I can see that this thread has now run its course, so maybe i need to start a new one for advice on which kit will give me a robust control system .
