Modbus / Re: My experiments with Mach3 ModBus and Arduino, Part I

« on: April 13, 2015, 02:29:25 AM »

Hi, aluplastvz

quote from the first post:

Equipment:
1. Arduino board (I using Arduino Duemilanove but you can use any other Arduino board)
2. PC with Windows XP and Mach3 because software who I using for monitoring ModBus communication no support new versions Windows.
3. Software's
  - Arduino IDE

i do not have any code, and i am not a Arduino guy.

Hi,

one simple thing to test for loose spindle is:
-chouse slow jog speed
-hold the spindle with one hand
-jog with the other had backward and foreward and try to block the spindle
there you can feel if there is any loose part.

an other test is to do G1 moves in the MDI, allways the same distance forward
and backward, mark your startpoint and endpoint and check that it goes allways to the same
points.

ich kann den deutschen Text schon lesen, kein Problem.

ok let's carry on in english to keep al the others in the race.

maybe one of the ethernet SS guy's can test this code, because as said
it is running here fine.

found it,

The only restriction is that you are advised not to call another script from within a script

Hello Max,

i have seen you do macro calls inside the macro.
i had also unexpected courious things when i did this.
somewhere is written not to call macros in a macro.

yust a idea.

Hello Max,

i tested this:

      Call setOEMDRO(42, 100)

      Call setOEMDRO(1216, 40)
         Call setOEMDRO(1217, 60)

      
           Code "g0 g53 Z" & GetOEMDRO(54)
      While IsMoving()
      Wend
      Code "g0 g53 Y" & GetOEMDRO(1217) &"g0 g53 X" & GetOEMDRO(1216) 
      While IsMoving()
      Wend

on my testmachine (parallel port)

an it worked well.
so for the moment i am out off ideas.
