General Mach Discussion / Re: New/old DIY CNC upgrade?

Just to confirm that you need a 5V supply to that BoB to make it work if you don't have a USB connection to it (which is only for power) and also a 12V supply if you want the 0 - 10V to work.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Load Gcode File not working in macro

« Last post by mediumSasuage on April 09, 2024, 03:07:55 AM »

I do not see how that can work, all the internal code pointers will be screwed up.

Hi Graham,
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this but i will add that the newly loaded gcode file will begin at the current position in the old gcode.
Cheers,

I cannot get the limit switches to be recognized on this machine. no indication that they are active. I have traced the wires and tested with a meter. Can someone help with setting them up?

General Mach Discussion / Encoders and MPG's

« Last post by Yorkshire Pudding on April 08, 2024, 06:44:13 PM »

Hi all,
is it possible to use the Encoder/MPG inputs to control Speed and Feed overrides and if so how do I link them to the feed and speed DRO's.
Thanks YP
