We are thinking about adding the inverse kinematics to do that but you are looking at about a year out at least

We are just about to start the rewrite of the Grex The Grex is going to be a plugg in so you can modify it as you see fit... This is going to take some time but I can tell you that all the problems will be fixed when the plug in is done.

Thank you
Brian


PS as for hooking up the VFD i would use the 0-5V out of the Grex

You need to save the macropump.m1s macro in the macros/mach3mill directory (if that is the profile that you are using) this is where the macro that you are going to put all your code into There is a video on the Macropump that I made some time ago...  The maco pump gets run a few time's a sec all the time! so take care in writing your macro!

There are many things to learn but you are getting there (you have good questions)

Thanks
Brian

This is a good way to play the wave files, The length on the macropump is not going to hurt the computer at all

To check the LED look in the Wiki at the LED codesHere: http://www.machsupport.com/MachCustomizeWiki/index.php?title=Standard_LEDs. once you have the code you can do this:

If(GetLED(0))Then
'Put your code here
end if

You are going to have to put that in the macropump... You can check the state of the Estop LED and if you see an estop run the script that you posted

That should get it working

I see Try changing your steps per unit under motor tuning. I think you need to take the number that is there and divide it by 10.

The best way to do this in Mach3 is to have each Inc take you to a new screen... OR you can do it on the same screen with a counter running in the background. You could then do Counter * inc = Speed    Call SetOEMDRO(1200.Speed)  Something like that should work...

You can't do this

I add error checking to the Post button and have it tell the user that it is going to be changed to a 1... You can also set up a while loop and have The user type in a number till they get one that works
