As you can see I am using MachGUI.exe with a screen set and I have all the normal windows Max Min close junk...

Did you make a special profile and have it load the profile with the command line switches? If so can you show me what you are doing for a call?

Hi Ya-Nvr-No,
I think your minimize issue is that you have a screen that is low resolution and the top of the window frame is off the screen. Do a Maximize from the task bar and I think that will fix you.

Thanks

Hi, As I stated in my message I would like to have input on the interface so we can get any changes made before we start making the docs docs for running the software. Please post them here and I will get a message that some one has posted. I have been building a list and we will review the list in a few weeks to see what we need to change / add.

Thanks
Brian

Hello Ray This was only the first pass at it .. That was the first time I ran the cycle with a tap in the holder..  The ramp time on this drive sucks, I ahve a new drive ordered that should work much much better..

Hello guys, I feel we are getting close! We are working on the finer things in Mach4 now.. Here is a short video of me tapping some holes:

This is using the feedback from the VFD to know how fast to feed the Z axis This was done with the G84 cycle!

Here is the code that I ran:

G90
M3 S800
G95
G0 Z.5
G84 X0 y0 Z-1.0 R.25 F.041
G91 X-.5 L5
G80
G90
M5
M30


Thanks

Yes this is in Mill and in turn.. So you will have CSS and Feed per rev in turn and mill and we don't care where you get the RPM from as long as we can get it This was all scripted in for the demo that I did.
