Les,
This is on the books to be added... we are working on the new interface and after that we will make it so you can change the cut order

The plugin will work great for servos as well as steppers
I think your problem is that you hooked both ends of the shield to ground... Please be sure that only one end is grounded

It is working... there are a few little roblems that we are working on at this time...

1.) If you have softlimits on and an axis reversed it will swap the jog keys (I know where the problem is and should be fixed today)

2.) Home pull off move is not using the right acceleration

Other then that it seems to be working well
Thanks

What do you have for a network that you are hooking the device to? Also what is the IP range that you are using?

Thanks

At the top of the screen go to Operator / Edit Button Script
You will see the Auto Tool Button flashing, click on it.
Now paste the Script that you have found one the web into the code window that opened and save.
Now to insure that you have everything save go to View / Save Current Screen set


That should do it..
THanks
Brian

As a test please run the program at 500 and tell me if it feels better?

Also You need to know that Vel = Accel * Time (From a stop) and that Mach3 looks at every move from a stop and smooths them from there...

Okay... so if you have a move that you would like to be 1000 Units per sec and Accel of 150..


Vel/Accel = Time
(1000 / 60 )/150 = .11111 sec accel

and will take .5*Accel*Time^2  units to get to velocity
.5*150*.11111^2 = .92592 units to get to vel... if you are over a dis of .92592 you should feel a nice smooth path...

The only way that you will not is if you have played with some of the CV settings... Post your XML from the machine and I will see what I can find

Thanks
Brian

What are your Accel settings? and what Vel are you looking to use? I Have tested your path and it runs smooth here...
