Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach 4 and 2 vfd Spindles setup

« on: November 09, 2020, 09:23:43 AM »

i will try.
There are values to change the head location.
mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_X is an example
I use them in a macro when I need to change heads.
I have attached my head shift macro.
In my m6 macro it calls this macro depending on tool number.
This has custom registers to store the offsets for different heads.

Sorry I do not know what could be the problem.
I try to stay away from scr.
I use registers and the mc every chance I get.

I think you need to use ' not "

local scale =scr.GetProperty('sliderScale','Value')

it sounds like you might be loosing steps.
slow down the velocity and accel by 1/2 and try again

If anyone else needs to know I got this resolved from Newfangled
There are 2 different cv wizards.
Make sure you use mcCvDistToleranceV001.
Works great and keeps the cv on and the data it calculated.
Thanks Trevor from Newfangled.

I have G64 in the start of my files.
The CV settings are not staying after exit.
