CS-Lab / Re: Encoder connections to a servo drive instead of an encoder.

The IP-A does not sense an encoder, it looks for the pulses and if it doesn't see them then it will error.
Sounds more like your drives outputs were either not suitable or you had them connected wrong.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Step and Dir Spindle and A axis with 1 motor 1 drive how?

« on: September 23, 2019, 08:43:10 AM »

Just looked, I have the A axis set to port 7 and pins 1 and 2. There is no such port but as I said earlier that does not matter as it is just there so I can use SwapAxis.
Works fine, can swap between A and Spindle just by the two macros I have m101 and m102.

Also as I mentioned earlier my plugin has the option so that the SS does not throw warning messages to me, see pic.

I also did a video, not very clear  but shows it working.

I will have to fire up the Beaver Mill today and see but I was sure I just put something like port 5 and pins 1, 2 etc. I have a recollection that the SS maybe said they were not valid but had a box you could check to say to ignore in future, maybe that has been removed from recent versions, my plugin is probably 8 or more years old, or maybe I am just not remembering correctly, haven't used the Beaver Mill for about 5 or so years.

Actually it may be ResetAxisSwap()

It has been a while, probably 10 years since I used it but if I recall the command in the macro would be SwapAxis(3,6) then in another macro it would be ReSetSwapAxis()

Just set up some imaginary port and pin numbers, you won't be using them anyway as you will be swapping the Axes and thus using the pins that are actually connected.

Assign different pins for the A axis and the use SwapAxis() feature to change when required.

Strange. If you attach your ml I will try it out here and see if I can find the issue.

Sounds like you do not have the MPG enabled  in Ports and Pins, see pic below. You also need to set the port and pin numbers of the MPG here.

I don't think there is such a thing as G81 in Turn.
