The UC300 is a wonderfully engineered assembly. Unfortunately, the documentation for it is absolutely horrible. Thank you for providing this video. From all indications my system should work.
@@rickeymh Thank you very much. I have everything configured I just need to configure the index. So I can make threads on the lathe. I just wanted someone to tell me how to configure the input port and pin. I've tried everything but I can't
Perfect video. If you could do something similar for xPro V5 - GRBL. :-) There are a lot of videos here, but none of them are so comprehensive as yours. From every other video, one takes only the excerpts, which he then laboriously puts together to make some sense. Your videos are great. Professional level.
Hey! Really appreciate your videos. I'm having endless trouble getting my CNC machine up and running. I have a UC300. Is it required to have 32 bit windows 7 installed on the device? I am connecting a usb to printer cable (into the UC300 female printer cable end) and it's not recognising it as a device. I have installed the digital dream .dll plugin (digital dream is the brand of my UC300). I have iHSV47 Servo motors and got the Ultimate Bee kit. I have been trying for months and would love some help. I'm open to getting steppers instead or a totally different controller. Could you offer any advice? Thanks again.
Thank you so much for the videos! I have followed all the steps, e-stop works, limits work sbut the motors do not move with the cursors. I have an ultimabe bee but i have 3N.M CloseLoop Motor... does it change anything in the mach3 configuration for using this kind of motors? thank you very much in advance!!!
Great tutorial, have an issue with limit switches, nothing showing in mach3, seen you put all 3 black together and put in com on uc300 controller, and each red wire in inp3, inp4 and inp5. what are the wires on the switches?? black on C terminal?? if so red then goes beside it or farthest away from the c terminal, i am confused on that. please help.
excellent video friend, I have a question, what is the configuration for the communication of the vdf huanyang and the uc300 tango board in the vfd and configuration of mach3
just setup my uc300 with mach3 and been getting a issue with DRO where it is fluctuating random values intermittently, thus causing issues with homing, anyone else expeience this issue and possible fix, pevious bob controller i was using was fine and didnt have this issue.
Your dark screen would not load up on Mach3 100% could there be an issue with it? I'll i got was a dark screen with a flashing green block, no text or buttons. I just purchased Mach3 July9.
I cant connect to my PC to the same UC300 model you're using. When I get to the point where you plug the UC300 into the USB port my PC doesn't recognize the USB device and I cannot find a driver for this controller. Have you ran into this issue or do you know of any fixes for this?
Hi! Can you please explain the reason you put 300 steps per unit in motor tuning? You really should've explain the steps per unit in more detail and provide instructions how to calculate them depending on microstep setting. If wrong steps per unit is set then mach will output wrong DRO's
Josh, At approximately the 3:00 minute mark you open the motor outputs and set Step Pin and Dir Pins. What exactly do these pins do ? I have never put any values into these areas and I don't see any change when I do enter the values as you show. When I watched your video to setup the Workbee, approximately at 2:42 you said that these pins were not needed with the USB controller?
Hey Dave, With the nvum controller I don't belive they can be changed as they are hard-coded In the dll plug-in. The uc300 these need to be set. That is my understanding anyway.
@@IllDoItMyself I have the UC3oo controller and I have never set these pins. SO I am now wondering what I have been missing ? It doesn't appear to make any difference with or without these values.
Again, thank you for this video. Do you have any recommendations on setting up for a VFD? I used your VFD cheat sheet for my 1.5kW 220VAC water cooled spindle and although I can operate it using the amplifier keypad interface, I can't seem to get it to work with the UN300 and Mach3. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Awesome tutorial. Do you happen to know if the procedures you used here for Mach3 will work in setting up Mach4? Do you happen to have Mach4 for education purposes... if so would love to see some content creation on Mach4. Not a lot out there at all and it been around for a long while now... Thanks again for your work in helping us understand CNC.
Cia, I need help. I found that the 2 motors A and Y are not synchronized in motion. The engine A part before the more Y. I don't understand why. I have UC 300 as controller and Mach3. I have configured Motor Outputs as you explained. The stepper was tested as follows: 1 off, 2on, 3off, 4off, 5on, 6 off,. Was wrong! How can I solve. Thank you
I'm struggling with getting my uc300 to work properly. It won't connect to my laptop correctly. It seems to freeze up and the plugin doesn't recognize it. Any advice on spots to research this or guidance from you?
Jason, a successful connection to your driver will cause the green LED on the controller to illuminate. If this LED toggles off and on I would suspect your cable.
Honestly no. I have used even the simplest of cncs and understanding by building makes them easier to operate in my opinion. We have some good facebook groups that get people up and running when they hit an issue. It just takes a bit of patience and willing to learn.
@@IllDoItMyself Im very interested in purchasing but i need to think first about what to make to turn this into a small business im From UK and people here dont want to spend much on products so i need to look into that i think
These are outstanding videos. Thank you for making them.
Thanks for the videos. Followed all and amazingly the machine functions. A+ work, guys.
Absolutely perfect videos bruv, thank you
wow thank you so much . life saver

Do you know how to configure the index for the mach3 turn?
@@tipemaq1130-Short answer is 'NO' I have my Mach 3 configured for a CNC Router. I have everything running except my FVD which needs minor tweaking.
@@rickeymh Thank you very much. I have everything configured I just need to configure the index. So I can make threads on the lathe. I just wanted someone to tell me how to configure the input port and pin. I've tried everything but I can't
@@tipemaq1130 - The F/W for the UC300 is garbage.
Man
..one hell of a video. Thanks a lot.
Cleared all my doubts. I hope.
And please share if you have anymore cool modern looking screen sets. Btw
Have you tried the one modified by physics anonymous?
Thank you som much sir👍

Already on it :D
Hey! where can i get the complete guide?
I need pins for axes "B" and "C"
Hi i have the ultimate bee full kit , but i have the servo motor "ihsv57" not the stepper motor , its the same steps and settings ? Please help

Hi great videos. It is possible to know how you set the second y-axis motor to Mach 3. Thanks.
I reviewed the video and found the solution.

I played around with the UC300 for almost a year and I can say without any hesitation that the controller F/W is a piece of crap.

Hi Bruce, this controller won't work with mach4 sorry there are no plug-ins/drivers for it.
Hello and thanks for the video.
Why is not recommended to control VFD and Spindle from the UC300 ?
Nothing wrong with doing this. I just preffer to use USB RS485 as you get much more accurate rpm control and its only costs $4.
Cia, I need help. I found that the 2 motors A and Y are not synchronized in motion.
The engine A part before the more Y.
I don't understand why.
I have UC 300 as controller and Mach3.
I have configured Motor Outputs as you explained. The stepper was tested as follows: 1 off, 2on, 3off, 4off, 5on, 6 off,.
Was wrong! How can I solve. Thank you
Make sure your axis is slaved and make sure in motor tuning it has the same numbers in steps per, velocity and acceleration.

Hello
Can i have your DLL for my EC300. My DLL Not move😢
Awesome tutorial,
i bought the cnc with UC300 now i was wondering if mach3 works on windows 10 64 bit . Thanks
Yes I'm using mach3 on windows 10 64 bit and have been for quite some time.
have u tested it working enought? do you know if have some glichets?
I'm struggling with getting my uc300 to work properly. It won't connect to my laptop correctly. It seems to freeze up and the plugin doesn't recognize it. Any advice on spots to research this or guidance from you?
Jason, a successful connection to your driver will cause the green LED on the controller to illuminate. If this LED toggles off and on I would suspect your cable.
Hi, are the motor tuning settings the same for the ultimatebee running on UC300? thanks.
No they will be different. You should be able to run them much much faster.
What version of windows are you using?
Do you think this machine is too much for a starter ? love the step by step
Honestly no. I have used even the simplest of cncs and understanding by building makes them easier to operate in my opinion. We have some good facebook groups that get people up and running when they hit an issue. It just takes a bit of patience and willing to learn.
