General Mach Discussion / Re: Used CNC/unknown software

« on: April 09, 2022, 02:59:38 AM »

this part looks like a parallel port breackout board. a more detailed picture would be good.
a direct replacemant for parallel port would be a UC100, but this is USB connected witch might be not
the best solution. with some ethernet motione controller like UC300 or smoothstepper will some
electrical work be necessary.

pls post also a picture of the paper with the instruction you found.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 - G93 4th Axis Speed Incorrect

i have seen in your sample G-code that you are using G93 with a-axis moves.
don't know wether this ay cause the problem, never used G93 and an a-axis.
i think it will be try and error to figure out what causes the problem in G-Code,
because this simple G1 move in MDI showed that it is basicly working.

this is a very simple code to check that probing is basicly working:

Code: [Select]

If GetOemLed (825)=0 Then 'Check to see if the probe is already grounded or faulty
DoOEMButton (1010) 'zero the Z axis so the probe move will start from here
Code "G90 G31 Z-50 F50" 'probing move, can set the feed rate here as well as how far to move
While IsMoving() 'wait while it happens
Wend
Sleep(200)
If GetOemLed (825)=1 Then 'Check to see if the probe is hit
Call SetDro (2, 5) 'set the Z axis DRO to whatever is set as plate thickness
Sleep(200) 'pause for Dro update.
Code "G1 Z10 F500" 'put the Z retract height you want here
Code "(Z axis is now zeroed)" 'puts this message in the status bar
Else
MSGBox "probe not hit !"
Exit Sub
End If
Else
Code "(Z-Plate is grounded, check connection and try again)" 'this goes in the status bar if aplicable
Exit Sub
End If

have you tryed to use MDI for testing with simple commands like:

G90 G1 Y30 A300 F200 ?

for a quick check you can replace this line of your macro (!! used twice)

Code: [Select]

ProbePos = GetVar (2002)

by

Code: [Select]

ProbePos = GetDRO (2)

maybe your motioncontroller is not supporting the usage of Var(2002).
