Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 Probing and reporting

« on: May 03, 2014, 08:46:27 AM »

I think we added a register to see if the probe was contacted.. I don't know at this time but the plan is to enhance the probe a bit over time.. We just want it working at this time!

Thanks

G16 should do Arcs with R only.. I didn't add the code to do the error checking at this time.

We can do R type Arcs in G16 (The manual I looked at said you should be able to do it so I added that in)

Yes Modbus is 100% working in this Demo

Perfect. I'll beat up on it and report results here.

Is there any documentation available yet?

Nope I did the setup manual but I didn't do a manual for Modbus..

I wish there was a way to make the Macro B an option but we need to have a line in the sand. Now what we are going to do for you guys testing this out and helping is the following:

If you Buy Mach4 Hobby during the introduction period we will make a special offer to upgrade your version to Industrial. I want to give you all something for the great effort you are putting in to help us debug. I think that is a far solution and we all win!

Thanks

The idea with Mach4 is that you could code in cool features and share and / or sell your screens. We want to see people doing wonderful things! Keep up the great work!

Brian Actually Steve DID mention possibley NOT having a LPT version in this post. My opinion is Mach4 without a LPT driver would be a HUGE mistake in marketing BUT that is your call.

IF all the art explained about the LPT driver is good then a dedicated motion controller FUNTION is going to have to really be good to beat the lpt ver.

I do understand that with a OEM controller the burden of support goes to the OEM not artsoft as they only supply the Control CORE ??

BUT I would dare say there are probably MORE lpt users out there than all the  other types put together.

Just my opinion, you mileage may vary due to local conditions.

(;-) TP

When will we get a LPT plugin to use ??

(;-) TP

There might not be one.  Not decided yet.

Steve only knew what we had talked about at Cabin Fever. I talked to Art and made sure he was willing to do the P Port.. So don't get upset at him,  He told you what he knew at that time. The P port is going to be done but we expect it to have a very short life..
