I don't think it will work

We will have to redo that section of code to get that working in Lathe.

Thanks

Do you have encoders on the back of your motors? we need to know if it is a CL or not...

I don't have the XML files with me for your machine but when I get back in about 1.5 weeks I can send them to you.

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Re: Which Mach version will work with MAXNC42 Router?

Hello,
You will have to mail MaxCN about the pinout of the cable connecting the controller to the computer. Is there a 25 pin cable going from the controller to the computer?

I think if you run your drives with Mach3 that should fix your maxNC software problem

Thanks

That is a GREAT looking job!

AHHA was the best about 10 years back... that is why I have a copy that we ran on a mill like the one that you have

Keep up the great work!

General Mach Discussion / Re: Custom M-code for punching

« on: June 07, 2007, 10:56:02 AM »

I don't know if the modbus coms are going to be as fast as you like They are slow!!!!!

if I was to do this project I think I would make a script that looked like this :

'M25 Cycle Punch

ActivateSignal(OUTPUT3) '//tun on output 3 to cycle the punch
Code"G4 P.2" '//Keep the output on for .2 sec
DeActivateSignal( OUTPUT3 ) '//Turn the output off

While(GetModoutput(2)) '//see if the up has been hit
    Code"G4 P.5" '//if the up has not been hit dwell for .5 sec
wend


None of this is tested but it will give you a start

Thanks
Brian

Sorry I have not been on the forum I have been reading but I have been working on a project in the shop... I have a table that is running at 1400IPM and was having a good time testing code

I will hit the thing that I have seen in this forum from my last post:
Offset trouble .... I have no idea what the @$#@ is going on there.... We will do some testing and see what we can find..

Tool description editing, It is on the list and we will see if it can be added.

Open Chain offset has not been looked at and we will have to have a look at it..

Circle not selecting.. this is odd... I had fixed that problem but Art may have the old code for it OR I have to fix the code again (It happens from time to time with Art and I both working on the code)

No new on the importer update They are VERY slow to give us code and this is the pace that most people code at (We are running at the speed of light for software! This is why Doc's are SO hard to do!)

Terry, Kids are so good at stuff like that because they will click on anything I am like that and I can tell you that it has been good and bad (Cost me one Mobo)

Okay guys, I am off to start working on the problems that you are having and I am about to start on the drawing tools

Later Brian
