General Mach Discussion / Re: Send PWM signal from Geckodrive G540 to PC

Hi,
i think the fastest you can get in Mach3 is brain in combination with a parallel port.

you can do a simple test.
download/install Mach3
assign Outpu1 to a pp pin
write a small brain, witch inverts the Output every cycle
take a oszilloscope and measure the frequency

than you will see the fastest possible reaction

Hi had a quick look to the Langmuir Homepage.
Looks like you have ordered bündle (table + cutter) from them.
they are still selling this combination.

have you talked to them, about this Problem ?
i am pretty sure ist is a earth/grounding Problem, because if it is a Controller Problem,
they would not sell this combination any more.

basicly USB and Plasma cutting is not the best combination, Ethernet would be better,
but if the layout/wiring/groundig is ok, you should get it to work.

if you want to go the "VB script" road, you have to remember that there is only one Task (script) witch is running continious
(macropump). and this macro has a 10ms timestamp (theoreticly).
Brains are a lot faster but  there Comes the external Controller into the Focus.
i never had something else than CSLab Controllers, but with them the update of Inputs takes 10ms as well.

I also purchased the system set-up to use Mach3 USB Controller

USB Controller makes me a Little "nervious",
the rest Looks ok.

sorry my fault, not tested

Code: [Select]

Open "C:\Mach3\Lasterrors.txt" For Input As #2 ' Open to read file.
Do While Not EOF(2)
Line Input #2, FileData ' Read a line of data.
LineN_1 = LineN
LineN = FileData
Loop
Close #2
SetUserLabel(151,LineN_1)
SetUserLabel(150,LineN)

this should work without filckering

Code: [Select]

Open "C:\Mach3\Lasterrors.txt" For Input As #2 ' Open to read file.
Do While Not EOF(2)
Line Input #2, FileData ' Read a line of data.
LineN_1 = GetUserlabel(150)
LineN = FileData
Loop
Close #2
SetUserLabel(151,LineN_1)
SetUserLabel(150,LineN)
