Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 soft limits reverse axes

« on: June 11, 2020, 02:16:01 PM »

I had this problem a long time ago and see posting from 2015, this issue has come up again but time I can not flip the values for min and max as the software gives an error message.

Everything is fine as long as Soft limits are disabled.

Thanks,

Mach 4 Version 4.2.3804
Windows 10 build 1709

Thanks, for all your help.  All the details you have given me has helped to resolve the problem.  I did a lot of playing with the screen editor and I am looking forward to customizing our screen.  After all the changes I did, "Goto Zero" still did not want to work.  One detail I did leave out not thinking it was critical is that we were also using the Mach4 launcher.  At this point, I used a default mill profile and everything worked.  I created a new profile for the default Mill profile and enabled Darwin and all seems fine now.  I still have the old profile and would like to understand what was mission or misconfigured in that profile?

Thanks,

Jay

Our system was using the WXMach.set,  I changed the screen to use the wx4.set for the screen and the button text matched, although the code in the button appeared commented out.  When I removed the "--" for the script lines I get the same message when exiting the edit screen.  

UPLOAD SCRIPT ERROR - Correct the script error and restart.  Is is possible the lau script file is corrupt.


GoToWorkZero()
--local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
--mc.mcCntlMdiExecute(inst, "G00 G53 Z0\nG00 X0 Y0 A0\nG00 Z0")

Our button has the following script attached to that button profile.

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
mc.mcCntlMdiExecute(inst, 'G00 X0 Y0 A0')
--mc.mcCntlGcodeExecuteWait(inst, 'G01 X1 F10')

When I close the edit screen I get and error message to correct the script error and restart.

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach 4 Goto Zero

« on: February 05, 2018, 11:41:53 PM »

We are using Mach 4 on Windows 7 with the Darwin parallel port plugin.  The "Goto Zero" button is not working on our system.  We position the deck and zero the x, y, and z using the buttons in the axis control section.  If we jog the deck around and then want to re-center on zero we have always used the "goto zero" in Mach 3. This has not worked since we have upgraded to Mach 4.


As Always, thanks for the help.

We have found the problem. We realized that the velocity units/per min was too high. We had them at 68 units but when we changed it to 30 they worked. To find this settings page Configure > Mach 4 > motors.

We have Darwin is licensed. Mach 4 is still a demo. Previously we had no problem running Mach 4 and Darwin together but, I was wondering if it would eventually stop working because it is a demo.

Mach4 General Discussion / Darwin Buffer Error - Motion out of bounds

« on: December 30, 2017, 06:11:28 PM »

Hello, we have been running M4 demo just to get the system set up. We have recently run into the error Darwin Buffer error motion out of bounds.i have not set any limits. It will still let me use the z-axis, but not the x and y. I have not seen this before. Does this have anything to do with the licensing?
