Hello,

I just made some tests and it seems there is an issue with my Pokeys plugin. When I remove all Pokeys files from the plugins directory the "Touch" button works. I noticed the same issue with the "Incremental Jpg Step" button.

Hello,

I'm just reading the "Mach4 Touch Module" PDF and would like to know, what I have to do to use it. If I click the "Touch" button nothing happens  (engine is enabled). The probe is configured in Mach4 Input-Signals. Can anybody help me?

Mach4 General Discussion / Strange behavior

« on: January 08, 2017, 03:59:52 AM »

Hello,

I've spent many hours to write a macro to import a .csv file but it doesn't work properly and I had no idea what went wong.

Eventually I noticed that the Lua I/O routines skipped lines that contain the german letter "ä". This letter appears in almost every line of the file because the german word for a milling tool is "Fräser". After replacing "ä" with "ä" (that's the string Mach4 use in tooltable.tls to represent "ä") everything went fine.

Hi Steve,

thank you for your reply. I'm using VisualCAM and besides it's native format it can only export to .csv so I will have to take a look at LUA.

Mach4 General Discussion / Tool Table Import?

« on: January 05, 2017, 07:22:23 AM »

Hello,

my CAM can export its tool table as a .csv file. Is there a way to import this into Mach4? This could not only save a lot of typing but it also prevents from typing errors.

Hello,

I'm from Germany and english is not my native language. When I looked at the different screen set I noticed that there is a screen for "routers" and a screen for "mills". Can anyone explain in a few words the difference between routers and mills.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: CV G64 and Exact Stop G61

Hi Mauri,

I can't help you but that are good questions. I played around with the CV-Wizard with the Simulator and I can't figure out the mystery behind it. How do I have to use the settings for the angles? There must be something wrong in my thoughts. In one test all angles were set to the same number - 500 and I expected this would be the maximum feed rate but the feed rate went up to the max velocity set in Mach-Config. But now the tracking is perfect as far as I can see on the monitor. I have no idea what's going on.

Can anyone explain the usage of the the CV-Wizard?
