Mach4 Plugins / Re: XHC WB04 plugin
« on: October 13, 2019, 09:50:00 PM »
I was wondering, the difference between one of these pendents and say an Xbox 360 controller being both wireless units. Mach4 see's WHB04B-4 and some things work. Is something missing in Lua script tied to the plugin? I'm using an MB2.5 w/ESS and have the XHC04 plug in installed. It looks like this is going on the shelf till the development comes around. Going to use an Xbox360 controller for now, Thanks to Daz and others.

Didn't see the mc.touchoff.lua, so I'll have another go at it. You will need to rename file.

Good Luck,
Larry

Update, received responce from CNC ROUTER PARTS! I have tried this all seems to work. Did get and error on the conclusion of zeroing, however when I entered the MDI G0 x0 y0 z0 it went right to the corner that I zero'd.

Thanks to CNC Router Parts for the Help.

We aren't officially supporting Mach4 yet but this will allow use of our touch plate in the interim. Instructions for installation and use are below.

1. In the C:/Mach4Hobby/Modules folder, there is a file named mcTouchOff.lua. Rename this to mcTouchOff.lua.bak so there is a backup of the original file.

2. Download the attached mcTouchOff.lua file and place in the C:/Mach4Hobby/Modules folder

3. Start Mach4, open the Touch GUI ("Touch" button)

Notes for use:
-In the "Settings/Options" column, those options not applicable for CNCRP's touch plate have been disabled. The Touch Plate Height should be set to 1.
-Under "Functions" the Center and Angle buttons are disabled as they are also not applicable for our touch plate.
-The "Z Only" and corner buttons work as they do in Mach3.
-To use the edge buttons (Top, Bottom, Left, & Right), set the touch plate against the work piece. Pressing the button, it will first probe in the Z direction (but WILL NOT set Z height, it's only used to position the tool for the next probe move) and then probe in the X (for Left / Right) or Y (for Top / Bottom) direction.

Let us know how this goes for you.
Best regards,

Kerri L.  |   Sales and Support


Thanks for the Support,
Larry

Have you reached out to CNC ROUTER PARTS?  Mach 4 has been out awhile, they need to get with it. Update the script!
Have been searching some other post on Mach 4 auto zero touch plates. Have no tried any yet.

Thanks, Larry

 Due to the age of your post, I assume you figured out the script? Would you share your resolution? I’m having the same issue.
Have a CNC Router Parts touch plate, their newest model. I’m able to do the Z zero no issues. But their Web site has yet to support any Mach 4 script, just Mach 3. Maybe someone can point me toward a thread that will get flying straight.
 
Thanks, Larry
