Title: About Using Formulas
Post by: Ankit Mistry on September 16, 2015, 05:29:59 PM

Hello All members,

This is my first post in our forum. so basically what made me start this thread is using of Formula in Mach3

i learned and solved equations for Scara arm and many trigo formulas for test. so at this time i tested one Z axis  Compensation formula in which There is Rotary B axis in head, which needed value of tool height, so as shown in formula dialogue box i put T letter in length offset, but t is not working anyhow. don't know why but even if i put 1 in t value and put function in any axis like F(A) =T result shows 0 always whenever i try to include T letter in Formula it shows 0 no matter how actual result should be but it fails to calculate estimated results and always end up with 0. any one can throw some light how to use T in this formula ???

Here is screenshot of formula i tried and test results as well in respective box.

Regards,
Ankit

Did you activate the TOOL #  It only sees the  Current Tool (active one)  not the selected tool .

Thanks BR549,

but it must not result in 0 anyhow no matter if i have tool or not... and i tried changing Tool with DRO, let me try with M6.

Well IF you are a brave soul you could write a Plugin to do what you want.
