Mach4 General Discussion / Re: RTCP for a XYZCA (five axes) CNC
« Last post by Williamia on April 28, 2026, 01:51:56 AM »Yes, Mach4 is capable of 5-axis kinematics, including RTCP, but it's important to note that it usually requires the Industrial version and often depends on the specific motion controller you are using (like HiCON Integra or Vital Systems)What are the common challenges faced during setup?

have you ever considered going down the modbus/arduino route. I have recently developed a control station setup using this and it seems to work fine. currently testing it on machine now. If your interested i could send you some details.

Mach Screens / Re: simple numeric keyboard for input in DRO
« Last post by TPS on April 22, 2026, 06:58:57 AM »hello TC,
you can have a look to the screenset i attached.
you can use MachScreen (https://kd-dietz.com/index_eng.html)
from Klaus to modify your screenset.
the basic idea i used in my screenset is to draw all key's you need in the
background picture, the place a transparent button over each key.
the button itselv contains a small basic script. i use a userlabel to add or delete
the individual key to a string.
for example the code for button G:
each button for the specific letter.
the ENTER Key will have this code:
the backspace button only cut's the last character of the string:
there is no code check at all because Mach3 will verjfy it.
hope i could point you in the direction of my idea of this permanent "keyboard".

for example the code for button G:
Code: [Select]
Sub Main()
SetUserLabel(255,GetUserLabel(255) + "G")
End Sub
does nothing else than adding a "G" at the end of the string and this is done ineach button for the specific letter.
the ENTER Key will have this code:
Code: [Select]
Sub Main()
Code GetUserLabel(255)
SetUserLabel(255,"")
End Sub
does nothing else than excecute the Code witch is in Userlabel(255) and clears Userlabelthe backspace button only cut's the last character of the string:
Code: [Select]
Sub Main()
SetUserLabel(255, Left(GetUserLabel(255),Len(GetUserLabel(255))-1))
End Sub
and so on.there is no code check at all because Mach3 will verjfy it.
hope i could point you in the direction of my idea of this permanent "keyboard".

Mach Screens / Re: simple numeric keyboard for input in DRO
« Last post by Thom on April 22, 2026, 04:54:33 AM »I will give this a try, thank you.
Maybe you could give me an idea of how to place a numeric keyboard on the screen permanently for MDI.
I have a screen with number buttons, that's it so far.
Would you know of anyone who does this for monetary compensation?
After two years of trying myself, it's time to try another way.
Thank you again for your unselfish help and time.

« Last post by TPS on April 22, 2026, 01:15:23 AM »Sorry Thom,
you are right, version of reply #3 is for a MDI input.
i have made so many version's of it so i lost the "track" here.
but is is like a popup window.
in the attached screenset i made a MDI input via touch screen (page 50) years ago.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach 4 scale issues
« Last post by Bill_O on April 21, 2026, 07:26:42 AM »You need to incorporate the screw pitch.
I also suggest lowering the microsteps.
That is very high
