General Mach Discussion / Somebody please help me install an mpg wheel

« on: November 08, 2021, 05:48:22 PM »

I am desperately trying to install and use an mpg wheel, not the pendant - just the wheel. It’s going on a panel im making.

My machine has one of those xhc Chinese Ethernet controllers.

My wheel has 4 connections A B 0v vcc

My controller only has a 24v power source, so I fed it through an external 5v  source that isn’t tied into the Cnc - ran the A B wires to inputs.

It doesn’t work, there’s nothing in my controller plug-in that offers mpg - wxcept the wbh04 pendant. 

Can I add a second port to my pc, am interface board? Help! Lol

Mach Screens / Looking for a little help with simple script.

« on: May 20, 2020, 05:54:17 PM »

I am looking to add a DRO to the main page that i can set the material thickness on. then call for it on my auto tool zero. 

 Something like  [+0.7500] as the dro setting i set.
 
Then since my touch plate is 1/4 i can name the variable  Tool0 = .250 - (what ever i need to call for my dro setting)

 I  have a vague idea of what i am doing. just need help connecting the dots.  pretty please

Im looking for a custom screen set for mach3, is there a place for this? how much does it run? i REALLY only need a few usable buttons added w/ scripts. But a whole new screen set would be nice.
