Mach3 table display

Hi Martin,

Thought it better to reply here rather than Answer your PM then everyone benefits.

The Table and Tool display will only show when you have G-code loaded. The screen is blank until code is loaded.
You must also have table Size entered in Home/Soft limits.

Cheers

I had a gcode file loaded, used the road runner that they have in the gcode folder so there wouldn't be any mistakes. Was able to see the road runner although it was tiny but when I selected table display I didn't have the red box showing the table limits.
I thought I had set up the soft limits correctly but maybe I haven't.

Road runner was tiny because it's coded for imperial units.

The table extents show has a fine grey Dotted outline on my system not a red box.

ok that's not something I thought about Dean, just used the road runner as it was what they used on the tutorial video. Same with the table display, I said I didn't have a red box because that is what it showed on the tutorial video, I am guessing they have changed that with one of the revisions then but I don't have anything showing for the table at all.
Will be up at the unit tomorrow so will check everything again, was just hoping to have something else to try before I went up there, not having an internet connection in the unit doesn't help either.

OK so I never got to the bottom of this, couldn't see anything I had done wrong so uninstaled mach & all it's folders & drivers & then re installed it. Set everything up again & I am pretty sure all the settings were exactly the same as before.
I now have a grey dotted line showing when in table display so looks like it is working ok now.

Try double clicking the display screen to make it update.
