PoKeys / PoKey57CNC Auto centering tool - need help!!!
« on: December 25, 2017, 06:26:55 PM »
Dear CNC colleagues, I’m reaching out for your help.
I just upgraded my PC to a 64-bit Win 10.
So I had to say goodbye to my old controllbox since it only was working with Parallel cable.
Invested in a PoKey57CNC and it works great on my CNC, except for one thing….
I do have a OX CNC with two motors on the Y axis where the “Y motor” is master and the “A motor” is slave.
Running Mach3 latest version (.066) – All in Metric system
The issue I have is when I’m trying to use the macro (from Hossprobing set) “Center probe inside diameter Metric Version”
There are 2 issues actually:
1. When I start the macro it goes to the left, slow and nice, touches the edge, stops and then it rapidly goes far to the right not stopping when the probe touches the right edge of the hole.
2. When it comes to the Y axis calibration for the hole it seems that the “slave” axis won’t work.
Only the “Y” motor moves a few step before machine crashes. The “A” motor won’t move.
I attach a PDF file with the code and some screenshots of my setup in Mach3 and in PoKeys.
Keep my fingers crossed and hope for a quick and working solotion
Many thanks in advance
