25MB! How big is this thing! We can make a mode where it works but you will not have the toolpath and so on. You need some good hardware to make that happen.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: mc.OSIG_SPINDLEON - how does this signal get turned on?

« on: May 20, 2020, 10:22:50 AM »

That is all coded into Mach4.

Here is how we do spindle CW in the core:
   m_control->SetSignalState(OSIG_SPINDLEREV, false);
   m_control->SetSignalState(OSIG_SPINDLEFWD, true);
   m_control->SetSignalState(OSIG_SPINDLEON, true);

The idea is that you can have a relay for on and direction . Some of the VFD's need that rubbish

Thanks

This is set when you tell the spindle to start. This has nothing to do with the RPM... You can ask for a zero RPM with the spindle on and you will get that signal . We have a spindle on and a spindle forward and reverse as signals.
{ "Spindle On", OSIG_SPINDLEON },
{ "Spindle Fwd", OSIG_SPINDLEFWD },
{ "Spindle Rev", OSIG_SPINDLEREV },

Hope I am helping here

So there are many things that are wrong with this script. The best thing to do would be to send in to support and they will help you make one that works as you would like. When you have it all working please post it back here so everyone can see the solution.

some of the issues:
You can't use GetAxisPos to get where the probe hit
How your doing the Gcode calls it not correct
You also have NO error checking on any of the calls so you don't know why it is failing.

The guys will hook you up! Trevor is waiting for you

Thanks

The hope is to have a working screen for you to test soon. We are adding some image buttons for jogging so you can see if you are in INC or ABS jog by the icon on the jog buttons.

I think the best thing to do is to simply try the screen and see what you like and don't like. Once you have an idea you can grab chunks of code and move it to the new screen. The real goal would be to add your features without changing the screen so you can be up to date all the time.

The current plan is to make the screen in landscape and after one in portrait. The goal of this is to get people thinking and start making some good screens in Mach4. This screen will also be converted into a remote GUI . I can’t wait for you all to see the goodies we have !

The plot thickens ! Can you package your profile so I can have a look at it ? I would like to test it in Sim to see if I have the same issue.
