Mach4 General Discussion / Touch Module - Using Darwin, a wire and a plate
« on: November 24, 2017, 01:58:13 PM »
Is there code available / required when using Darwin, a clip on the tool bit and a copper touch plate? LED comes on when contact is made. Now just to automate it would be brilliant? The "Touch" button only refers to btn(114), so I assume no code in Lua for this, even though I'm using ver 3481.  :-\

I have the following error when closing Mach4;

[string""]: 532: attempt to index globle 'T Frame' (a nil value) stack traceback:
[string""]: 532: in function <[string""]:527>

Correct the script and restart.

Any ideas, thanks
Dion

Mach4 General Discussion / Connection between button function and script
« on: November 23, 2017, 12:33:42 PM »
When I'm in edit mode and have a button highlighted, it shows eg, btnReturn, how does Lua know that this function is been call?  I assume if a button has the name of btn(114), its just been placed but not been given a function yet?  The button (btn(114)) has been titled "Touch" but doesn't seem to do anything.

I have downloaded the latest version, expecting it all to work, seems like I was wrong, how much does one have to do to get just whats on the display to work.....

Mach4 General Discussion / MACH4 CNC3040 Spindle rpm, PMW, control
« on: August 21, 2016, 12:12:50 PM »
Hi, I'm struggling to make sense of what's happening with my spindle control. MACH4, Microsoft XP, Parallel port and Darwin. I see the pulse rate affects the outcome on my speed? Is that right? My set up is on a 3040 chines mill with the router that comes with the original unit. 300 – 8000 rpm. Putting a taco on it I seem to be getting a range from 5700 to 10830 rpm, and that's trying to control it via Darwin. 0 gives me full speed and 20000 gives me 5700rpm. So from Darwin I get a reasonable range. MACH4 I'm lost.  The on/off works, PWM seems to work but not full range and same effect with the min/max freq setting. In the freq range I used 0 to 20000.  When controlling from the GUI, there is a limited response from the slider 50 % to 150%, which also has the opposite affect i.e. 50% runs faster that 150%? It put values in at the top when running, 150=50%, 300=100% and 450=150%, but I can't work out where its getting the 300 from? The PWM set up does pretty much the same.  ???
