Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 Keyboard Emulation

+1 about freeing the keyboard when mach4 is not in focus.

Also, how do I map the ESCAPE key as STOP like it was configured in mach3?

Pablo:

 As of last nights version, yes, it is turned on. Set the MPG count and encoder number and it will send a message each time the increment is
equal or more than detent.


Sorry for the late reply...

Art, after asking Scott for a proper license for the router computer (the PC I had in file was not the router one) I started to configure everything using both latest darwin and M4.

Managed to move and home all axis on port 1 and also configured the pendant on port 2 with the axis and multiplier selectors, also the MPG and a couple extra buttons I have.

On the config plugin I test every signal and it works as expected, the MPG counts back and forth nicely.

GOOD WORK ART!

Now I need a little orientation on how to assign each pendant signal to its intended use, on M3 I associated each signal to a hotkey and the MPG was configured via its specific menu. Im still very green regarding M4.

Great, I have time this afternoon, will configure again everything and try the MPG and let you know.

Art, did you enabled the MPG capability in Darwin?

Do you mind If I post about this poll in the yahoo group?

    The old single pulse threading is not something Id want to add to Darwin. This means IF I add threading it would be by encoder only. Im not
opposed to adding it, but Id want to know the  numbers warrant it. Since Darwin takes a license , once M4 is fully released we'll know fairly quickly
how many are running the PP, and through threads such as this it wont be hard to tell how many want threading. If numbers are large enough, Ill
add a threading to the driver. Otherwise , it will be spec'd as having no threading capability.

Thx

Well... put a +1 on the want threading column :)

I should add that Darwin will probably not do threading. While Mach4 turning will work with Darwin generally, threading I may decide not to implement. If it cant do it pretty much perfectly, Id rather Darwin not try. I may change that view..but currently that's my line of thought. I did leave myself hooks for encoder based threading, Ill wait to see if there really a need in future.

Im Im mixing definitions of threading or you mean we wont be able to make a thread on a lathe using darwin+m4? not even with single pulse as it was with M3?

Muy buen laburo, gracias por compartirlo, tenes un screenset como el original en español?

I just built this circuit, if you use low PMW, say 100hz, the spindle speed woobles, above 1000hz is a safe value. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks a lot for the link, after reading it I see that what I want to accomplish is not easily done using rs-232 it will be wise to go to other solutions instead of trying to kludge my idea :)
