Is there any way (hardware and software) to interface the MACH3 software to a Lathe operated by a Siemens sinumerik 802s controller?

Mach Screens / want to add a reading to my main screen

« on: January 10, 2010, 09:12:28 PM »

First I am completely new to this forum and am totally overwhelmed with the amount of information, thus the reason for this post.

I am running a Tormach machine and have it unlocked so I have full access to the Mach3 software and am running the 1024.set screen set.

I would like to add "one" thing to the main screen (have been playing with Mach3screen.exe without any luck). I would like to have the "Current" work offset displayed in the area as shown in the picture below.


And then I am also having a problem (since the change to the 1024.set) with the tool path and the actual tool movement in the display being approx. 50% lower.


If some one would be willing to point a forum newbie in the right direction or give me the necessary info to add the one option and correct the other problem, it will be greately appreciated.

Thank-you in advance.
Mike
