General Mach Discussion / How do you apply a different offset from home on a slaved axis?

« on: May 13, 2019, 04:53:00 PM »

Trying to slave two axes together (Y and C) but in our case we will need to be able to apply a different offset from home for each. Is this possible in either Mach3 or Mach4?

General Mach Discussion / How to slave an axis with different steps per

« on: March 13, 2019, 10:48:16 AM »

Trying to slave the C axis to the Y axis. The problem I am running into is the C axis steps per is 2.25 times greater than Y axis steps per. I changed the C steps per in motor tuning but it keeps taking Y steps per since it is slaved to it. Is there any way to slave an axis to another and apply separate steps per values?
Thank you,

General Mach Discussion / G4 Dwell time only reading whole numbers

« on: March 01, 2018, 02:54:46 PM »

Whether I have .1 seconds or .9 seconds as my dwelll my machine is pausing for the same amount of time. This is also true for when I have 1 second or 1.9 seconds for my dwell. It seems to be only reading whole numbers. Also, I tried switching to milliseconds in general config but even with milliseconds selected it is still reading the values for the dwell as seconds. Can anybody help me? Is there some setting I have to change somewhere?
Thank you,
