Thank you for the quick response

I use this configuration in a former program called PCdreh and that is also working with the parallel port and there it working well
i thought that i need this also for threading but than i have to use the timing pulse
I did not try to make a treading but i think there will be problems also what is the best sensor i can use with mach3

greetings Gerard

General Mach Discussion / True Spindle Speed

« on: November 01, 2008, 07:56:16 AM »

Im am a newbee

I have electronic encoder with 1000 timing pulses and a index pulse connected to my lathe spindle
i connected 5 v to 5v, massa to massa, index pulse  to pin 15 timing pulse to 13
I see on my breakoutboard the led when i hit the index point en flashing when the spindle turns
But i see nothing in the True spindle speed DRO's now and then i see a value and after 1 second i go's back to 0

What do i wrong is there some other parameter i have to alter

With friendly greetings

Is there somebody living in Europe working with Bobcam and Mach 3
I am a newbee and have a lot of problems to get it working with the right G-code

I am living in Turkey but i am Traveling often to Holland and maybe we can meet each other to learn some basics

Thank You

I already thought so i did no why the designer of pcdreh has choose for this solution
under pcdreh it is possible to use two axes with different direction altough both dir go's via pin 1

hereby the pdf with pinconnections

I have another question is it possible to use a lineair decoder to feedback forcorrect movement
the same as by servomotors

thank you for you comment but pcdreh is also a parallel connection a have a pdf with pin settings but i don't now how to ad a pdf to this comment

so i will type it

pin 1 direction for all axes
2-9 information for spindle speed
10 x ref
11 dongle\
12 y ref
13 z ref
14 tact a
15 a ref
16 tact y
17 tact z
18-25 ground

so pc dreh use 1 pin for the directions of all axes
and different for the tact

i saw in the the manual that mach3 use different pin numbers for each axes directions

so my question is of the course of the strange behavior of the axes is the could be the combine direction pin

Hello my name is Gerard van Rooijen i am retired and move from holland to turkey and run a hotel in the summer and in the winter there is plenty of time to work on my hobby
metalworking with a lathe and a mill i buy a mill and a lathe from a local turkish machine manufacturer and together we  rebuild the machines to cnc
now i work with hardware and software from pcdreh from germany
i want to change everything to mach3 now the hardware works with all the directions over one pin number pin number 1
so the x,y and z axes all use the same pinnumber for direction and different numbers for tact is this a problem in mach3
i started and strange things are happening sometimes the motor works and sometimes not, could the common pinnumbers the problem
