General Mach Discussion / Re: Force feedrate / Max speed while program is running

« on: July 04, 2020, 09:58:43 AM »

Hello,

So one thing which works but is not perfect is to have a lot of M1 in the program, when activated and machine stops it updates the max motor speed of all axis following the macro.

Still if somebody gets a better solution...

General Mach Discussion / Force feedrate / Max speed while program is running

« on: July 03, 2020, 11:57:12 AM »

Hello all,

For cycle time and machine lifetime reasons I want to use the Tempest motion planner which was made several years ago for mach3. The only problem I have with it is that the feedrate overide has been disactivated and I really want / need it.

I have been trying to create a macropump which would change the max speed of the axis depending on a potmeter, macro works but the changes do not happen while the program is running.
I also tried using OEMDro and #99********* to specify the feedrate through macropump and potmeter, but again this does not work after program has been started.

Does any of you have a brillant idea how to do that?

General Mach Discussion / Mach Quantum

Hello all,

I am posting here hoping for more visibility

I retrofitted an old Brother TC321n and except with Tempest (and S curve motion planner) I have jerk with very low accelerations. But since Tempest does not allow feedrate change I cannot really use it.

Then I heard about mach Quantum a quite old version of mach wich also uses anti jerk motion planner.

Question, does anybody have it somewhere on its HDD and could share it?
