HobbyCNC XML file

[Barry Chamberlain]

Hi Brian,

Two questions if I may please –

1. What does the HobbyCNC Profile do when used with Mach3?

2. How can I read/modify the content of the HobbyCNC Profile XML file?

Kind regards, Barry Chamberlain

Barry,

Short answer: I don’t know. I run LinuxCNC.

Long answer: I would assume the XML profile would include the configuration info for my board, step and direction pins and such.

XML files are human-readable, and are able to be edited using any NotePad-like text editor (I would avoid using WordPad or WORD unless you know your way around saving a text-only file).

Care should always be exercised when manually editing an XML file. A missing backslash can really ruin your day.

Your best bet is to review the Mach3 documentation. They’ve really done a great job.
