Ok I'll give that a shot, thanks!

Version 3.5 did the trick. So, even though 4.0 is more recent, 3.5 is the ticket. Got it hooked up now - only problem is that the plot screen does not seem to appear. The plot brain is enabled, but when we hit F1/2/3 nothing pops up. Ideas?

It appears from looking at some prior posts that the last recommended version by Scott was V3.5. I'll put that on the computer this evening and see where that gets me.

According to this site:

There are three versions of the .net framework that should work with XP. Which one is the recommended/approved version for Mach/Ajax?

-Sky

So here's an update - we connected the computer, and it detected the Ajax hardware. However, we still cannot get the Configuration menu to pop up. Ideas?

Okay, so the computer had to be totally wiped, and so I'm starting from scratch. Oh well, so it goes. I've got Mach3 back on the computer, with the Ajax plugin installed as well. Right now, the computer is here at my house - I don't have internet access at the mill location, and so I'm doing as much...

Thanks!

Recently, the machine I use to run my mill decided to no longer find some of the system files and will no longer boot up. The hard drive appears to be just fine, but the OS may need to be re-installed. If this is the case, the local computer tech is going to backup all my files before he re-installs...

Does anyone have homing working using the Ajax board and Mach3. This is the one thing I can never seem to get worked out on my machine.

Okay, that seems reasonable given that it will allow me to do some really high level machining. If I can get my g-code to work like that, I'll definitely upgrade.
