Third party software and hardware support forums. / Re: Mach3 with stepper motor drivers of Pololu or similar

« on: April 05, 2012, 04:24:05 PM »

Hello, if i have understood it rightly Mach 3 generates step and direction signals and sends them to the parallel port, is it thus, for example, possible to use four of the stepper motor drivers A4988 http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1183 as stepper motor output stage for Mach3, respectively, to connect their input contacts directly with the parallel port of the Computer and on the output sides with four stepper motors, or is an upstream arranged controller or similar necessary. Many Greetings

Yes, I think that It is possible!

Afraid that is one of the bad things about going with such a device as the Ajax controller for Mach, you are limited to what Ajax make available unfortunately.

Yes, I am thinking to use the serial port nd a microcontroller like PIC to communicate to 4 axis. I am thinking in macros for doing this....

Have you contaccted Ajax to see if they can suggest anything?
Hood

Yes, I contacted Ajax Engineers but they told me that I must buy a board for my 4 axis. If I buy this board, I need to buy a new rotary table with new servo motors, etc ($$$$)... I think that is crazy because MACH3 has development tools....

I told ajax about the protocol that they implement on their board but I do not receive any answer.

Not really sure what you are asking but
Hood

I am not really sure how I can explain to you....

I have a trouble because I have a stepper motor in my 4axis and AJAX board in my x y z axes. I need to write a macro (A) that can move the stepper motor because I can not work with plugin and parallel port at the same time.

I am not really sure if this solution is availible because the macros are in the form "M*********.m1s". I do not know if the The linear and circular interpolation not involved in the 4 axis (rotate table)

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / macro with x y z a name??

« on: March 31, 2012, 09:51:24 PM »

I need to do a macro with X Y Z A names because I need to control a motor with that G CODE. For example:

G0 A90 'I need to work in a macro that read "90" and move a motor 90 in A direction.

Can I do this?

Spanish / Re: Puede Mach3 usar mas de un plugin de comunicacion???

« on: March 23, 2012, 08:46:55 PM »

En mi experiencia con ethernet yo no pude utilizar el puerto paralelo a la vez
No conozco esa placa tal vez si nos das mas datos podamos ayudarte

*Es una tarjeta ethernet com modulos para motores servos incluidos.
*Tiene control PID integrado para tres motores servos y entradas para encoders.
*Funciona con un plugin para el MACH3 que intergra algunos BRAINS para control.

Espero pueda usar el puerto paralelo con el ethernet, necesito para manejar un motor de pasos.

Saludos!!

Pienso que si si estan bien configurados. EL mach es muy flexible. Yo uso paralelo y serie a la vez como es logico, con plugings y brains, y dos plugins seguro se pueden ejecutar a la vez en mach, ahora que no se si habria conflictos en los hard.

Puedes ayudarme ha configurarlo??? no se como hacerlo////

o a decirme donde puedo buscar info acerca de esto.

GRacias

Easier to get a servo for the rotary axis I would think.

Can you help me please?
