Hello,

There is any way to get the last pressed button's code and place it into macro as variable?
For Mach3.

Thank you,
Seb

Mach Screens / Saving Button Script - .set or .m1s?
« on: March 27, 2020, 06:20:15 AM »
Hello,

Sorry if this question was covered but I was not able to find the answer...

My question is: which way is better? to leave the button's code in screenset .set file or to save it in .m1s file?
I care about that for a large number of buttons with scripts, not for a few...
Mach3 will run slower if scripts will be saved in .set file? Any improvements if scripts are saved in m1s files?
Screenset loading process is affected, too?

I'm thinking the loading of screenset will be faster if scripts will be saved in m1s files but I don't know if entire application will run faster or not.
Any advice is welcome

Thank you,
Seb

General Mach Discussion / Mach3, 6 steppers and... how to?
« on: October 08, 2012, 06:54:55 PM »
Hello,

I have a 3-axis mill machine, build by myself and for now it is controlled by a Gecko G540 and Mach3.
My X axis use 2 steppers (X and A as slave) and homing switches for all 4 steppers (X, Y, Z, A)

Right now I intend to make some major upgrades at my machine and I want to have 2 steppers for Z-axis (Z and B as slave)
The Y axis will remain with a single stepper. I also want to have homing switches for all steppers
So, after this upgrade, my machine will use 5 drivers for X, Y, Z, A(slave for X), B(slave for Z).

I want to ask if is possible to use a Smoothstepper in combination with 2x G540.
If yes, I suppose an additional rotational axis could be controlled through the C-axis and I'll have a 4-axis milling machine. Is this correct?

Or, there are any better alternatives for this config? For a reasonable price, of course. :)

And for the next level, how can I add the 5th axis having all 6 axis (in Mach3) already allocated? Will have 7 steppers driving a 5-axis machine!?!

Unfortunately I cannot afford servos, at least for the moment. But I need this upgrade (4-axis) asap...

Any advice will be very useful,
Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Seb
