Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 freezes while executing mcCntlGcodeExecuteWait

Hello!

This is the code (very simple):

Code: [Select]

--Measure
inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
local rc

function GCodeExecute(GCode)
    local rc = mc.mcCntlGcodeExecuteWait(inst, GCode)
    if rc ~= mc.MERROR_NOERROR then
        return 'Error', false
    else
        return 'OK', true
    end
end


local a, b
a, b = GCodeExecute('G0 G53 Z0 X-200 Y-300')  
  
if b == true then
    mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, 'test move.')
else
    mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, a)
end  

At this time I'm using simulation device for motion tests. The code is executed on button "LeftUp"  event.

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 freezes while executing mcCntlGcodeExecuteWait

« on: October 19, 2016, 04:53:11 PM »

Hello!

I am trying to do tool length probing button script, but have some problems with mcCntlGcodeExecuteWait function. The function executes, but in the mean time Mach4 freezes and position DROs are not updating.

How to solve it?

CS-Lab / Using formulas

« on: June 27, 2015, 02:30:15 PM »

Hello!

I am using CSMIO/IP-S controller with FW version 2.600 version and I am having problems when using formulas (even if formulas are very simple). I often get ePID fault message and Mach3 goes into RESET mode. When I am not using formulas it works fine.

How to solve this problem?

CS-Lab / Re: Servo drive as main spindle

Hello!

Thanks Hood. Which number is assigned to spindle? I know that positioning axes have numbers from 0 to 5.

Hello!

I would like to use spindle on my lathe also as positioning axis, so my plan is to use a four pole relay to switch from channel 4 to channel 5 (STEP/DIR signals). Channel 4 would work as spindle axis, channel 5 would work as positioning axis.

So, the question; Can I do any harm tu CSMIO/IP controller when switching from one channel to another?

Regards, Denis

Hello!

Do I need a threading module if I use servo motor for spindle that in driven with STEP/DIR pulses from CSMIO-IP/S controller?

General Mach Discussion / Two toolpaht previews

« on: October 09, 2013, 07:49:05 AM »

Hello!

Is it possible to have two toolpath previews on one screen (X-Y and Y-Z)? If not then how to set it to Y-Z direction? I use Mach3Screen V1.59a.

Regards, Denis

CSMIO/IP-S has two analog outputs.
