General Mach Discussion / Re: Help Please

Thanks Guys
I really appreciate the help.

Hood, I don't like to bypass safety either, I have the spindle move away from the work area X-7.000, Y4.000 . These sheets are only 7.75 X 11.375 X 0.250. If it were only three or four sheets to pocket I wouldn't worry with it, but I have 52 sheets and possibly more coming.
 
I built my CNC router about 5 years ago and have been running it weekly since then, but i never did learn a lot of code. All ways got by with the code that the CAM (Vectric Aspire) software would spit out. I would like to learn more on writing g-code as I see where I could save machine time by tweaking it a little.

Thanks Again Guys!

Hood, your correct about the spindle. There's no problem for the spindle to start. I would just like for it to stay running instead of turning off after pocketing the 4 holes in the sheet. it would make the process faster if i could change out the sheet, hit cycle start and not have to wait on the spindle and the dust collector to start up again. It takes about 30 sec to pocket the holes, about 70 sec to swap out the sheet and about 50 sec for the spindle to come up to speed. Would be better not having to cycle the spindle and dust collector on & off. Hope all this make sense.

Thanks

I'm trying to figure out how to keep my spindle on. I have 52 sheets of plastic that I'm pocketing out four .375 holes per sheet. I would like the spindle to stay on at the end of the cycle, clamp a new sheet in place and hit cycle start to repeat to process over again. I attached my g-code.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply Jeff
I purchased my ESS from your company, great service & fast delivery time, oh and very good price ;)
I don't know much about the electronic thats why I purchased a complete package from CandCNC. I was looking at PMDX.com they have a PMDX-126 pictured with PMDX-107, SmoothStepper, and cables. I was wondering if i could use this or something similar to replace my existing BOB. 

I was looking through CandCNC's BOB manual and copied the following.
Is this what you were talking about "Multiplexing Technology" ?

"The UBOBII in conjunction with MACH software uses “Virtual Ports” to communicate with the
signals from the UBOBII. Port 1 inputs (pins 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15) are in parallel with port 8
(virtual port) pins of the same pin numbers. Thus the signal for port 1 pin 11 is shared with the
signal from port 8 pin 11. The outputs are muxed (a process that lets 3 outputs in MACH
control 8 individual outputs) and show up as PORT 4 (virtual port). Two of the outputs are used
to connect to Expansion Modules (DTHC or ISS-02). The other 6 are double buffered
and designed to drive external relays or similar loads and are
accessible via the Table I/O card."

SmoothStepper USB / Need Advice on Ethernet Smooth Stepper

Hello Everyone,
I have a question about using ESS with my almost diy router table.
I purchased all my electronics with www.CandCNC.com  about 21/2 years ago.  The package I went with is a listed under Plug-N-Run CNC Electronics, Router-Med to Heavy Router Packs, RouterPak-1B complete with motors and cables. This kit uses 5 Gecko 201X Drives and a UBOB III. My router is very stable no issues with messing steps or anything. I have been using Mach3 2010 screen set and Vectric Aspire software since the machine has been in operation.
I have been hearing a lot of good things about Ethernet Smooth Stepper and wanted to give it a try, Ya’ll know what I’m talking about always looking to make it a little better. Well I put the wagon in front of the horse, because I order my ESS then decided to call CandCNC and asked about using the ESS, and their answer was NO!
It will not work with my system; they said they were in the process of developing their own type of smooth stepper. So my question is, before I put my ESS up for sale, I was wondering if anyone here is using electronics from CandCNC and if so have you tried using an ESS.
Also if there is someone here with advice about why it will not work on my system please let me know. I’m not sure if their tech was blow smoke and want me to wait and purchase the version of a smooth stepper.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and sorry I was so long winded in explaining myself.
