General Discussion / Re: Mach4 hobby version 3468

Looks like a newer version of  Mach4 Hobbv is out there.  Had two errors and I don't know if it is Mach 4 or PMDX 411.   When requesting to "Go to Work Zero", I got an error of "Axis 3 commanded while disable" even though Mach 4 was in a enable condition.  Picture attached. 

When I "Reference All Axes", it seemed to work but I did get an error of "Unexpected homing request while Mach 4 is disabled, ignoring".  Mach 4 does disable when referencing is complete.  Picture is attached.
Both of these errors where on version 3468 and the later version that was available on 8/10.

Looks like PMDX now has a link to the Mach 4 hobby version 3468.  So I assume that this is compatible with the PMDX-411.

I notice that PMDX has link to the Mach4 hobby version 3390 but the latest is the 3468.  Is the PMDX 411 been tested with the 3468 version?

General Discussion / motion underrun

« on: August 05, 2017, 03:57:55 PM »

I have a constant problem with motion underrun (error 7).  I seen comments in posting that it may be due to a slow computer and to increase the queue in the PDX configuration.   My computer is not slow (dell inspriron  5000 series) and I have increased the queue to near max.  In runs for 8 minutes before hitting the underrun, then it may run 2-6 minutes before having that error again.

Any suggestions?  My pdmx cable is connected straight to my computer.   Does it matter if it is a usb 2.0 or 3.0 port?
