Mach Screens / Re: 1 Axis touch screen design

I am not sure what is going on, it works fine here but I will check it on another PC.

Check you have these settings in general config set.

Have a look at this, its one I did a while back it was for an 800 x 600 screen size, I have stripped all my custom stuff out of it but it works and you can put your code in the start button to do whatever you need.

Extract the Mach3 folder from the Zip file and drop it over your Mach3 folder to merge them together.  Run Mach3 loader, ChopSaw should be listed.

It only acts as a keyboard input for the length the rest is up to you,  the length is stored in UserLabel1 so you can get at it with something like this in the START button VB code :-

length = Val(GetUserLabel(1))

No warranty given or implied, if you loose bits its your fault as its just a keypad right now nothing more.

If you need mach3/4 to control the spindle speed then its complicated if you only need the spindles to run at a fixed speed and Mach turn them on and off its easy.

Screw compensation is per motor not per axis so each screw can be calibrated individually.

You can start and stop many spindles, but you only have one 0-10 volt output so the two spindles would need to share the speed signal and be tuned to the same rpm.  Matched spindles would not be a problem.  if you wish to run one then the other that should not be a problem with some change over relays.

Its just a case of selecting the pulley and entering the 0 for min speed and enter what ever you max is for the spindle, if you check the Help menu you can open the documents

Have you set the speed range in the pulley screen, mach uses this to work out the 0-10v range.

Move the datum point of the model to the datum point in Fusion that matches your machine.

That could be data corruption, try a different data cable and if you have this running through a network switch it needs to be direct to the controlling PC.

Check you have the correct pulley selected and it has the correct values.
