Mach Screens / Re: simple numeric keyboard for input in DRO
« Last post by TPS on April 15, 2026, 08:15:38 AM »no it is written to stay on the screen permanent, it is just like a box witch is showing up and
after input it will be closed.it is basicly written for DRO values not for MDI input.
for MDI input it needs a couple of changes.

Mach Screens / Re: simple numeric keyboard for input in DRO
« Last post by Thom on April 15, 2026, 06:09:03 AM »Hello,
Is this topic still active?
I never got this to work but am going to try again.
Can this keyboard be installed to stay on the screen all the time on a MDI screen?

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 - C82 - PlasmaSensOut - Z axis
« Last post by paul.stephens on April 13, 2026, 04:13:56 PM »Okay, I'm going to need two other things from you..
1. the .set file your version of Mach is using. I see data about the screen commanding up and down is in the screen. This .set can be found in C:/Mach4Hobby/Screens It's probably one one the ones that does not start with "wx"

2026-04-13 13:13:54.923
"
These aren't standard MachAPI's
2. m3 script. You can find this in your C:/Mach4Hobby/Profiles/{Profile Name}/Macros/m3.mcs
This will tell me what is being called anytime you run an m3 script. If it doesn't exist, just let me know.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 - C82 - PlasmaSensOut - Z axis
« Last post by grivalsky on April 13, 2026, 02:32:28 PM »I uploaded two logs. In the first log, at the beginning I jogging the x,y, and z motors and then I turned on the HC, switched to manual and tried to move the Z axis using the UP and DOWN buttons on the screen.
In the second log, at the beginning I jogging the x,y, and z motors and then I turned on the HC, switched to PINS and tried to move the Z axis using the input signal.

Diagnostic → Logging and hit the play button. Once you do that, the logging will start recording. You can save or copy the contents and either send the file or the text over.

HiCON Motion Controller / Re: Legacy Syil X5 with Hicon 7754 controller
« Last post by peu on April 11, 2026, 10:06:05 PM »It took me a lot of work but managed to recover all the mach3 and mach4 files for the hicon 7754, even managed to create a fully functional XML for the Syil X5 Servo for mach3 that can be used as a starting point for mach4.
Below is the link to the ZIP file that Includes everything needed to establish a communication between the 7754 and mach3 or mach4. This also includes version 3.24 and 3.40 of the firmware. (file is too large to be attached to this post)
Thanks to everyone but the OEM that decided this should be only obtainable via payment when at the time was freely downlodable. They even asked the internet archive to remove the files...
