Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: Machine control via USB

Hi Steffen,

this is exactly what I mean, many thanks!

Can you tell me, whether its possible to pass several variables, as example M10001 P10 P20, or is it limited to one? What means the P in "P10" exactly?

Bye, Karsten

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Machine control via USB

« on: November 11, 2009, 02:38:37 AM »

Hi together,

I try to get some infos about MACH3 for evaluate the suitability for my project. I hope, someone can tell me, whether its possible.

I have to control a micro welding machine. The machine parameter are complete controllable via USB. Now I build a manipulator with (now) two axis with servos. The motors are immediate controllable with MACH3, clear. But the problem is, I have to send commands via USB in the right order together with the positioning commands in the G-code. The needed USB commands are controlling parameters like welding current and some other voltages.

For this, I have to send commands via USB in/between the "G-code". I think, this will not work without a plugin. But the question is: Is this possible with a plugin or I'am at a wrong track?

The USB access in C++ is not the problem, only the connection to MACH3.  

Thanks Karsten
