General Mach Discussion / Feed rate override not working after mdi input

« on: April 09, 2009, 08:17:31 AM »

Hello everybody!

I was just about to mill a couple of pcb's when I discover that in the latetest version of Mach, somewhere between 042.20 - 042.26,
the feed rate over ride stop to work after typing something in the MDI input. The red led that normally flash beside the FDO DRO stop to
flash as well and I have to restart Mach to get it work again.
But after downgrading to 042.20 it worked as it should again. Have anybody else got the same problem?
Is there any command to enable or disable the feed rate over ride?

Best regards
Roger

General Mach Discussion / Tool change M-code in V2.60?

« on: November 23, 2007, 03:16:26 AM »

Hello all,

I upgraded from version 2.41 to 2.60, after that when I call a tool change M-code
M06 T1 for example then Mach keeps the old tool anyway ex. T0.
I downgraded back to 2.41 and it all works again.
Has something change in how to call a tool change?

Hello all!
I'm thinking of making a interface using modbus and a AVR microcontroller.
Where can I find the protocol of modbus and how it's communicates with Mach?

« on: August 09, 2006, 09:15:21 AM »

Hi, is the developing of Mach IV stopped and replace with G100 plug in for Mach3?
What is the status of that plug in right now? Is it possible to run a machine based on a Grex
with homing, limit, probing and jogging and so on?

General Mach Discussion / Slider and touc hscreen problem

« on: June 27, 2006, 03:53:01 PM »

Hi, I have use a touch screen for a while now with Mach3 1.84
and now I downloaded the latest version 1.90.053 to try the slider.
But with my touch screen the slider for feed rate always change
back to 250% even if I use the mouse instead of touching the screen.
And when I try the same without the touch screen then the slider stayed as
I left it.
Have anyone tried the slider with a touch screen and got it working?

Mach3 and G-Rex / Maping I/O on G100?

Hello again,
I got my motors running on my G-rex, thanks to the video's and G-rex for dummies document.
The motors runs very fast and smooth. But I can't figure out how to map the I/O's for E-stop and home-
swiches and so on. Maybe that's not ready yet?

thanks

Hi all,
Could Mach4 co-exist on the same PC as Mach3?
I got my G100 from Geckodrive today and I want to start playing with it, but I
still need to run Mach3.
