Feature Requests / physical feed rate over ride knob

« on: November 01, 2007, 10:55:46 PM »

  most missed mach3 feature compared to commercial controls i have run,knob should go to 0 when starting a new program,as most crashes
are in the z axis usually tool offset problem or z value store from previous tool etc,enables operattor to stop motion and glance at z position
to see if it looks correct ,i got in that habbit after smashing a few drills due to sticky buttons on controls not zeroing z when setting tool heights,and also it would be great to have a start and e stop physical momentary? switches for safety,will the galil motion card support these
features                    take care guys patrick

 hi brian,
great you are getting galil and mach working better,I ran mach and the g100 for a while,now want to try the galil and analogue(+,-10 volt amps)can mach handle a start and feed hold momentarty push buttons and a feed oover ride knob(maybe a pot)would be great,thats what i missed most on mach,i am looking at copley brushless amps(could you give me advice,not sure to do analogue,or digital with (10 volt from motion card)and what watt servos for direct(no reduction)on bridgeport machine 1000watt?,
                          keep up the good work,  patrick
