Feed & Speed Over Ride

[M250cnc]

Are there any how to's to set these up.

The manual is very clear how to add a switch, i would like step by step info on how to get the pots working.

Again very easy to connect the pot but then what ?

You can also use seting PoPendant in Mach plugin. There are both overides already implemented.

Well it worked easier than i thought. But the speed was varying i ran the pokeys setup looked at the voltage on the Analogue inputs and could see the variance.

Then when i restarted they have now stopped working in Mach and no matter what i fiddle with i can't get them working again. But they are still working in the pokeys setup program.

What's gone wrong.

Phil,
 I too use the brains that hood wrote fro spindle/feed override and at first they were a little "flaky" as you put it.
It turns out that I had to rename them in order for them to work properly. Go into your mach folder, double click the brains folder, locate the brain in question and
right click on it and select "rename". Choose a new name...(remember not to use any spaces in the new name) and try it again.
Worked for me....hope it does for you too.

Marc i did get Hoods brain working but it was "over complicated, unlike mine" 

Anyway i found a simpler brain that is more of a match to mine here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,9163.10.html

It works great there is only a slight variation which i should be able to sort out with some capacitors

Not sure if you are using that on the lathe, if you are then check it doesnt affect threading, if that Brian has no reset to 100% it will vary about the 100% and may alter the threading.
