General Mach Discussion / Fillet Radius is too big

« on: October 08, 2010, 06:29:37 AM »

Hello.

whenever I load up the Turn Wizards I get the scrolling message "Fillet Radius is too big" .... and this message appears in every turn wizard!
Closing and restarting mach3 and/ or the computer makes no difference.
All the wizards have zero in every box....the message is still there. How do I get rid of the message?
XML attached,
Regards
John.

General Mach Discussion / Spindle DRO not working in Mach3 Turn

« on: August 23, 2010, 09:31:12 AM »

Hello !
 Mach3 Turn R3.042.040 licenced. Homann Digispeed, Emerson Commander SK VFD. Homann MB02 V6 BOBs.
.375" slot on 7.5" disc
Spindle motor output checked
PWM checked
PWM base frequency 1000
Min PWM 0
Spindle speed averaging checked
Index enabled on port 1 pin 15, active high.
Voltage output from opto with slot at the sensor is 4.92v

At any speed above 100, the Spindle true DRO shows either 13 or 14, below that it shows 0. I've tried the Index debounce at many values between 0 and 1000, to no avail. Can anyone please tell me what's going on here, before I go raving mad? (or madder, some would say).
Regards,
John

General Mach Discussion / MPG's not working.

« on: July 30, 2010, 08:39:15 AM »

Good Afternoon.

I'm running a fully licenced Version R3.042.040 Mach3 Turn and 2 MPG's. The bob is one of Peter Homanns MB-06, which (most conveniently) has led's for each input and output pin, so you can see what's going on.
When I turn either of the MPG's I can see the relevant led flashing on the bob and the dro's in the diagnostics screen are working but I'm getting no movement of either axis.
I've calibrated both MPG's and my config settings are:
MPG1: A port 1, A pin 10, B port 1, B pin 11, counts 4, velocity 280
MPG2: A port 1, A pin 12, B port 1, B pin 13, counts 4, velocity 280
Debounce is set to 2000

I sincerely hope that one of the Mach Gurus can help me with this.

Regards,
John.

General Mach Discussion / MPG dro

« on: July 25, 2010, 07:48:25 AM »

Hello!
I'm running a fully licenced Version R3.042.040 Mach3 Turn and 2 MPG's.
In the diagnostics screen I can reset MPG #1 to zero by clicking on it, typing 0 and it resets to 0
Repeating that procedure for MPG #2 does not reset the dro to zero.
Anybody got any idea of why?

Regards,
John.
