General Mach Discussion / Re: default setup for multiple mills

« on: May 06, 2006, 06:40:02 PM »

John this is NO problem! You are going to have to set up two profiles.. If you use the Mach3 (Not mach3 mill) icon you will see where you can create a new profile. this will make it so you can have both setups ready to run there is more info on this in the manual... But if you get to the point where you need help We are here..

General Mach Discussion / M3 and M4 Revers depending on the gear...

« on: May 06, 2006, 06:12:11 PM »

Here are the macros that will revers the spindle depending on the gear that you are running. This was done to help people that are running Bp's because back gear will revers the spindle... Put the M3 code in the m3.m1s and the M4 in the m4.m1s macro

'M3.m1s
 If (GetOEMDRO (56) = 1) Then
 DoSpinCW()
 End If
 If (GetOEMDRO (56) = 2) Then
 DoSpinCCW()
 End If
 
'M4.m1s
 If (GetOEMDRO (56) = 1) Then
 DoSpinCCW()
 End If
 If (GetOEMDRO (56) = 2) Then
 DoSpinCW()
 End If


Hope this will help a few of you

Very nice I had a Shizuoka! That was a nice heavy mill with 5HP on the spindle, and running off Mach3

I think a little shielding should fix you up

You need to add the buttons to the "system hotkeys setup". In there you are going to need to put 1001 for cycle start (this is going to change Very soon because Art is doing some updates). The button code will be run by the Trigger# under the ports and pins inputs...

That should get you started.

I added a bit more debounce and I added a button so you could turn on the softlimits. the Button is on the diagnostics page
