Mach4 Toolbox / Re: Touch Plate Corner Finder
« on: April 03, 2021, 07:03:04 PM »
Thank you for the info. I have tried the things you suggested and now I get through the sequence up until the x axis move. It will touch the plate then I get and error message "ERROR - no contact with probe" even though the touch plate and probe are touching and the active signal is lit up to say that it has been activated.
I am a newbie when it comes to the Lua code so don't know where to look to see the problem. Any hints?

Cheers
Brent

Have you had trouble with the touch function not functioning all the time? When I run a command like top right corner in touch it will do random things like sometimes hitting the surface then stopping. It then comes up with n error code to do with the probe. Sometimes it won't stop when touching in the x or y move. My setup is similar to yours in that I use the same controller and touch plate.
Is there something I can check to get this working consistently?

Cheers

Mach4 General Discussion / setting up slave axis
« on: March 27, 2021, 07:31:01 PM »
How do I get the axis to move after the following message appears?
Slaved axis is unaligned! Home the machine before jogging!
None of the axis will work until I take the slaved axis off, but then I still can't home it as I don't have limit switches.
I'm also using POKeys57CNC with mach4
Any help out there??
thank you

Hi All I arrived here while trying to get more info around converting my emco 5pc to wrok with Mach. I'm trying to rewire it and am a little confused with it all and so may well be in the wrong place. pleas e forgive me if this is so. But I'm hoping someone here has done the conversion to run mach.
i have made my own cnc router and are now on to my second build.

thanks
Brent

Hi Art, is it possible to get the 24V wiring etc that you mentioned in another post. I'm considering replacing the emco drivers etc and your article and photos have been a great help.
thanks
Brent
