Mach4 General Discussion / Re: G71 / G72 Canned cycles for Lathe?

« on: February 11, 2021, 11:27:53 AM »

We have talked about it but Lathe is such a small amount of the users that it is a ton of work for only a few users.

. I did make the code that will do the roughing passes in Lua

If we can get enough people to pipe up here I would entertain the idea.

Mach4 General Discussion / PMC files for eveyone

« on: February 11, 2021, 10:17:00 AM »

Hello all,
I had to make this PMC file to help someone out and wanted to share it so everyone can see how we solve little things like this for people.
I am in hopes that others can post files here and share what they have done. If this becomes popular I can make a place on the webpage to share things like this.

This PMC script will turn off the coolant if the spindle stops OR when Estop is pressed. You will see it is a VERY simple

Enjoy!

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Spindle speed not correct

« on: February 11, 2021, 06:40:30 AM »

It is the function numbers, they have 3 and 5 swapped. That is the biggest issue. They have the read and write swapped in other words

if that was correct we may be able to make it work. Check sum is a bit odd too. Basically it is not modbus lol

It just so happens we do have a manual for the PMC. Have a look in the docs directory.

I have been thinking about this and I would like to have Trevor log in and check your version of Mach4 and ESS plugin. He can also check the power settings of THC Ethernet port. When would be a good time to have him remote in?

Something very odd is going on and I can't get my finger on it now but ... we will!

Any chance you can tell me what you have for a PC? I wonder if we have some power saving issues .
