General Mach Discussion / Encoders and DRO's + Softlimit Warnings
« on: March 27, 2007, 07:54:19 AM »
Firstly on the encoder issue, my DRO's changed when i upgraded to 2.00.060. I use DRO's 170,171, and 172, which originally had displayed the encoder position with the offsets factored in. Now my Y axis is showing its position always with the G54 offset added to it, regardless of the active offset. I dont know if Z axis was affected since i dont use any z-offsets, but the X-axis was not. Not only that, before the upgrade i had to set my encoder counts per unit to .2 for the X and Y and .124 for the Z when the encoders put out 1000CPI. Now, after the upgrade, i had to change the Y and Z to 1000, and again the X axis was unchanged. Any ideas on how to get my DRO's working correctly?
The second issue is with the softlimits. All of my movement is within the softlimits, they are close but within limits. Now the first run, i always get a softlimit warning that i can aknowledge and it will run thru without a problem. Then a random amount of runs later, the error will come up again. Its really annoying, especially since the error is hidden behind the mach screen. And i dont want to run without softlimits, in case someone decides to do something wrong and smash up the tool. Any fixes for that?
I can always go back to the original software, but would prefer to use the latest rev.
Thanks,
Max
