General Mach Discussion / 2 Different auto zeros
« on: March 27, 2023, 02:26:01 PM »
I have the need for 2 different Z auto zeros. 1 for my regular XYZ profile and 1 for my rotary axis profile. I thought having 2 different profiles would keep them seperate. I know now that doesn't work. Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to edit the button each time.The difference is plate thickness and retract distance. thanks

General Mach Discussion / ROTARY AXIS AS B
« on: March 04, 2023, 10:11:29 AM »
I am adding a rotary axis to my cnc. The A axis is slaved to the X axis so I want to use the B axis as my rotary axis. Where should I look to find how to configure this. I think I am missing something simple. Thanks for any help.

Hey Hood,Thank you very much for your help.Everything works perfect,MDI and G-code. Any ideas why the script would not be there.I usually won't mess with it unless someone knowledgeable is telling me what to do. Thanks again.Tommy

Ok, I must be loosing my mind or I pulled up the wrong macros.You were right there was something wrong with the macro, the script was blank.I filled in m3 and m5 and they work with MDI and G-code. Now what happens is if I manually enter speed in the spindle speed box, 15000, and enter m3 in the MDI input it works and the speed is correct m5 stops the spindle. If I now enter in the MDI input m3s18000 the DRO says 18000 but the spindle is still turning 15000. Thanks for your help ,Tommy

in the shop where the computer is that runs the cnc the LED does not light when I MDI M3. In my office,which is hooked to nothing, is does light up. Same ver. of mach 3 and same XML file.

the code for m3 is as you say it should be,the only difference is the "m" is lower case for  m3,m4,m5 and all the oters are upper case.

I have the spindle set for PWM in the ESS config, that is what I am useing with the PMDX107 to send a 0-10v signal to my VFD ? How do I read M codes ? Thanks,Tommy

I just connected my VFD to mach3. It works fine with the spindle button and the spindle speed input,but wont't respond to M3 or S in the MDI input window or G-code from V-carve pro. I am using PMDX107.PMDX125 and ethernet smooth stepper. I have attached my xml file. Thanks,Tommy
