General Mach Discussion / Save Z - Beginner - To many options - Simple but not for me

« on: June 06, 2018, 08:21:36 AM »

Hi

I have been generated some gcodes from Vetric where it demands the Save Z settings and Home start position x,y, z.

My autotool macro have also an save Z setting:

ZMove = 30.00 'Total lenght of Probe to move before Stop or no Contact Made.
ZOffset = 25.00 ' Plate Hight
ZSal = ZOffset + 2.00 '+ Free Hight, Will possition the Proble 2 MM over the Material.

Mach3 config also have a save Z setting.

So now am I confused.

How should the output be:
Vetric
Save Z = ?
z1 = Clearance = ?
z2 = Plunge = ?
Home start x=0,y=0,Z=?

Mach3
Config - should I also use the same save Z settings in here ?

In Mach3:
What should the DRO be at:
X=0
Y=0
Z=???

Hope you can help me...

Third party software and hardware support forums. / AKZ250 USB Card - outputs wiring

« on: December 14, 2016, 12:21:02 PM »

Hi

   
I own a AKZ250 USB Card, but I am in a little doubt about the output pins 0-7, I wont to use either pwm or on/off as outputs.

How do I wiring the pin.

I think it would be something like:

   
AKZ250 outputpin (0-7) num#3
connected to   
AKZ250 5v pin with a 1k resistor

would this give me a 0v-5v output TLL from AKZ250 outputpin (0-7) num#3


I have been measuarred the voltage from AKZ250 outputpin (0-7) num#3 with ground to 0.6v inactive and floating voltage among 0-3.7v when active.


How to wiring a outputPin or the pwm pin?

But how do I do a tool change and use this for setting the the correct new tool lenght/height after a manual tool change.
