Mach4 General Discussion / Lathe Electronic Leadscrew / Gearbox
« on: June 17, 2019, 02:40:08 PM »
I am trying to use Mach 4 as an electronic lead screw for my old atlas lathe.
Hardware: PMDX SmartBOB 416, Generic Quadrature Encoder (1024 SPR) with index, Leadshine Hybrid Stepper Moor.
Sofware: Latest PMDX Drivers and Firmware and Mach 4 Build 3804.

I have managed to get the RPMs to display on a DRO in Mach 4. I have also connected the motor and run it in jog mode. But i have not been able to figure out how to link the 2 together and apply a ratio for feed rate or TPI.  I anyone can provide any guidance on how to do this or a link to a thread where this was discussed that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Jason
