Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Pokeys57CNC and probing
« on: March 26, 2019, 02:31:06 PM »
Unless you have an older board (v1.0 or v1.2) you don't need a pullup resistor.  I tried one with my v1.3 board and it makes no difference.  I'm hoping the filter will do a better job.  In theory, it should.

Excellent.  I will try that.  I get so tired of MACH4 complaining about the input.

RC filter?  You talking about an inline coil, or a choke around the wire?

You didn't declare inst.  Try this:

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
local hreg=mc.mcRegGetHandle(inst, 'ESS/Encoder_0')
local EncRawVal=mc.mcRegGetValue(inst, hreg)
scr.SetProperty('droEncRep2', 'Value', tostring(EncRawVal))

Also, your acceleration setting may be too high.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: jogging increments.
« on: December 16, 2018, 04:01:07 AM »
There is a bug in some older builds of Mach 4 that will change the jogging to inches after changing configuration settings.  The way around this is to enable after completing the configuration and pressing the reset button.  This appears to be fixed in at least build 3882 and later builds.

Edit: According to the change log it appears to have been fixed somewhere in builds 3806 - 3858.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Non Linear Spindle Speed?
« on: December 09, 2018, 11:37:39 PM »
I use the PoKEYS57CNC and the 0-10v output is linear. Also, my LSIS C100 VFD uses this and generates a linear RPM.  MY spindle can do 8000-24000rpm and if I specify 12000rpm, I get 5v on the output and the VFD shows 12000rpm.  My guess is your controller output is linear, but your VFD probably doesn't respond with linear speed.  The cheap Huanyang VFDs are probably suspect in this area.

Craig,


XHC has a couple of pendants that work with Mach4 but XHC did not write the plugin.....that was done by an interested XHC pendant
owner. He has been deluged by requests by others to improve and expand the plugin to work with other XHC models including
the wireless one. He has got sick of it.....its not like he gets anything from it and he has a family and a job etc.

If you really want a wireless pendant the market is wide open.....make and then sell your own.

Do you remember who did the XHC plugin?  You think he might publish the source code so I could contribute to it?

Thanx,  - Rob

Mach4 General Discussion / MACH4 Pendant
« on: November 07, 2018, 10:54:10 AM »
Can anyone recommend a good wireless pendant?  I'm using a PoKEYS57CNC motion controller if that makes any difference.

Thanx,

Rob
