Yes i should be getting all my parts except the larger x-y table in a coulpe of weeks.
I reinstalled windows xp on my computer and went through all the steps from the links you posted and its running and now i have to strip the other tower.
 
ok great good start keep me posted
tell me what times to see if your on here we keep missing each other when we are in here thats going to drag things out once you get going good with all the parts.

in mach3 press the work offline button then reset on lower left the software is now running in simulation mode.
load your g-code and hit run use you mouse left button on the sim screen to drag the pic sideways and you can watch the code running
It's hard to explain but make sure you hit reset or mach3 will do nothing

i'll have to go back and see if 3.0 d2nc is the right one now it was a couple of weeks ago i tried to update and it was the wrong file.

if you have this thread open and do not hit f5 often you may not see my reply for some time
the page update is running very slow
I see your in the room but you dont reply so you probably are not seeing my last reply to you.
this is making it hard to hold a conversation
