Hi!
how macro to be any axis in g code the x-axis move?
If G code Y300 you move X-axis 300
U300 you move X-axis 300
thanks

Hi Csaba,
Not quite sure what you are saying here.
Y300 will move the Y axis and DRO
U300 will move the A axis and DRO
Could you perhaps explain in more detail please ?

Hi Tweakie!
Not.
Any axis is G code, always move the X axis and XDRO
the code line by line with the movements.
G code: G0 X500 ' move x axis 500mm
X800 ' move x axis 800mm
M01
G0 Y600 ' move x axis 600mm
M01
G0 U1100 ' move x axis 1100mm
M01
This is because it should be a panel sizing machines, and there is only one axis
but the cam software works at four levels, when the signal changes (x-y x-u x-v)
is waiting for an external signal.

Hi Csaba,
Perhaps someone else can figure this one out but I really can't understand exactly what you are doing or just why you would use multi-axis software / GCode just to control one machine axis.
I know it's not resolving your problem but I would like to understand (assuming it's not totally beyond me) exactly what you are doing with this machine.

In ports and pins, set your x axis, y axis and a axis output the same and set the tuning as the same, as long as you do not move the axes at the same time, it should work.
eg: step pin # 7
dir pin # 6

Hi Steve!
problem with me using it, motion control DSPMC and can not be given the same number of output shaft.

Someone help please very important.

Is there any specific reason why you are using the DSPMC instead of the parallel port break out board?

I'm with Tweakie on this. Why are you generating code that is unsuitable for your machine? This just doesn't seem the right way to go about things and it sounds potentially dangerous too.
sometimes it's better to ask for solutions to the actual problem rather than asking how to implement your solution to a problem you havn't told us about.

Hi Ian!
I used to be so because the optimizer does the code.

The dspmc be because the enginedriver analog + / - 10V

OK I will ask the obvious, You said that the mache has 1 axis "X" AND that the Cam puts out multi levels of code as Y,U,V.
Is the machine in it's original configuration with only 1 axis?
It does not make sense for the CAM to output YUV if the machine only has X??????
What do the YUV commands do on the machine?
-
The machine is a beam saw. Sheet goods are clamped and moved along the table, and stopped for the saw to make cuts. The X axis is probably the sheet movement. The saw carriage should not be any axis.
My guess is that the code outputs other axis for crosscuts. On a typical beam saw, the saw first rips the sheet into multiple strips, Then, each strip is placed back into the saw to make the crosscuts. So, both X and Y cuts on the material are done with one axis on the machine.
The biggest hurdles here is trying to make Mach3 do what it's not designed to do.
A better option imo is to modify the software output to something that works with Mach3, rather than trying to modify Mach3 to work with other software.

Not sure what an optimizer is in this context but wouldn't it be better to configure your optimizer for your machine? Seems a bit AB to me :)
Cheers

The other option is to open the g-code as a text document and use the edit - replace utility and replace the Y, U , and V
with a X

Hi!
KTM
I do not see where you are only the cut

Attach a G-Code file that you use on the machine and I will show you how to edit it.

Hi KTM!
Attach a G-Code file The X-Y-U-V
probe code
g0 x600

Hi Csaba

Use the replace utility in notepad as shown
