New to the forum and just got my table assembled today, got to the step where it was time to start my downloads to my computer and when I tried the Motion control plugin (after I downloaded the mach 3 software) I got an error code that reads “this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel” Can someone please help me with this? I am stuck and have no clue what to do to get my machine to start jogging. Thanks in advance!
You don’t click it or try to run it. It should be a .dll file - copy it to the plugins subfolder in your Mach3 installation.
If you followed the default installation for Mach3 you should have Mach3 in a folder called C:\Mach3 the plugins folder is in there - C:\Mach3\Plugins
Copy the Crossfire motion control plugin into the C:\Mach3\Plugins directory.
Make sure the Crossfire Profile file is in the C:\Mach3 directory. Then fire up Mach3 and you should be good to go.
It would also be a good idea to take a look at the tutorials to get an idea of how you are going to operate the table as well.
