CS-Lab / Re: update to M4 .5000 version

« on: November 19, 2023, 08:46:18 PM »

I gave up with CS-Labs and Mach4 some time back and run Mach3 with no real problems on my CS-MIO-IP/A.  Every issue I reported to them turned out to be my fault just how this can be is beyond me as some times it ran fine then it would set off and part way through error out with a jolt and break the tool or dive in to the job and wreck the part and the tool.

The same machine with nothing changed except its running on Mach3 R3.043.062 runs perfect, no issues at all.

I do run Mach4 on my other machines with different controllers PMDX, ESS, Pokeys 57 and Galil and have no problems.

depending on how your code sets the offsets you may need to call G54 or the tool offset for things to update in the background.

When you say threading is not working just what are you getting, is the pitch wrong or what?

Most turning errors come down to the accuracy of the x axis homing, a small error is doubled.

We need more details about the software and the control.
