Got it.

Turns out I needed to add my feedback ratio to the Aux Motor tab under Mach4 Config.

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Help pls, Position display doesn't match reality

« on: February 25, 2022, 03:47:51 PM »

1st, I am running a Hicon Integra 7766 for control.

I have scaled steps per unit in the motor tab of mach4 to equal, in my case, 10184 steps per inch on X axis. When I command x1.00 I get x1.00 movement but the position display shows 1.0184 rather than 1.0000 inches.

Now, If I goto Configure - Plug-ins - Hicon - Motor tab and execute movement there I have the choice of displaying units or steps. This display is correct.

Please help. I'll add pics if it would help.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 and Integra 7766 Multiple MPG help please

Thank you for your reply.

You are correct that Mach4 didn't understand which axis was what input. I got 3 handwheel MPG's connected to three axis.

Now, I wonder if I can add a forth MPG and axis.

I'm just getting started looking into Lua. I suspect I should be able to read a 4th handwheel with a script or module and change the A axis but I'm not sure.

Thanks again

I need help

Mach4 and Integra 7766 controller

I want to use multiple handwheel MPGs to jog my machine.

I want one handwheel on each axis X, Y and Z.

right now I have handwheels connected to Encoders 7 and 8. I am able to see the values change in the Integra diagnostic screen.

If I enable two MPGs in the MPG tab of Mach4 they both only jog the X axis.

Am I trying to do the impossible?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
L
