CS-Lab / Re: CSMIO-ENC Spindle Orientation

« on: July 26, 2019, 01:55:02 AM »

so it Looks like you are running your spindle Controller in positionig mode (step/dir), and Dave is running it in Speed follower
(analog Output). In your case the "real" spindle orientation is done by the spindle Controller and CSMIO is only "supervising"
the result.

on a Speed follower the positioning is done by CSMIO witch is very hard (maybe impossible) to tune.
i spend days to try to set it up, and ended up to do the positioning on the spindle Controller itself,
witch is handled by digital I/O.

depends on the code you are using for probing.
Show us your code.

if you use an external Motion Controller like CSMIO or UC300 (both have two analog Outputs), you can control
spindle 2 and 3 via them (spindle 1 will be the Standard spindle).

via a customised M3 macro you can control the seperate spindles.

there will be different possibilties to let the macro know, witch spindle/spindles has to be turned on.

Hi TPS,
does Mach3 have an out-of-band axis/axes?

NO, out of my kowlege.

If more than one "analog" Output is needed, you have to use a external Motion Controller witch supports analog Outputs.

on a CSMIO (surprise surprise), you can set analog Output value easy via Basic script.

IMHO the only Chance you have (without using a Motion Controller witch supports analog outouts), is to use a PWM Signal,
and use M3 Ssomething (use the spindle Speed) for manipulating the PWM Signal.
