Mach4 General Discussion / Re: DRO on probe setting page (industrial)
« on: October 14, 2022, 12:57:02 PM »
Stuart,

We have updated all the probing Dro's so they all should be updating with user input.  we are slated to put a new build up on the FTP server shortly.

Thank you for reporting this!

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Crash after tool change

Please open the docs folder within Mach4.  Read the document called "Tool Offsets Mach4 Mill"
This goes into extreme detail on setting up single and multiple tool for use while running G code files.

Are you using a profile from a previous build by chance?

Here are two tool touch off sequences.  One is in an m6 with a tool touch off implemented in it.  In the m6, the tool is probed in the same position on the machine table either with a touch off block or a genuine probe. 
 
The other,  is a stand alone touch off script. It contains variables at the the beginning of the script that can be edited to manipulate the probing process.  The variables  could easily be added to a tool change macro, or could be turned into registers and linked to DRO's on the screen for instant manipulation.

Take a look at these and let me know if you need any help getting any of this working in your scripts, or current tool change macro.

Jimmy,

Thank you for your results!  I spent quite some time with PoKeys development this morning.  We found both of the boards we ere testing with were working as expected in conjunction with Mach4.  I am however going to add a scope to the testing as you did and I will make sure I am still getting the results I was seeing today.  I will post back when I get this tested.

Thanks,

Rob G

There are a couple of key items for making this all work with PoKeys 57 CNC

One, On the pulse engine page of their plug in, there will be  a check box for enabling outputs with M62 and M63.  This should be checked.

Second, Pokeys limits these outputs to 4.  They are the OC outputs.  when mapping these in Mac4, you can map them to any output you would like, but in the device list you will choose Pokeys_*********x PE.  Then all of the four OC outputs will show up in the Output Name drop down menu.  Once these are mapped when M62 Px, or M63 Px are called from a G code file there will be leds on the pokeys that are associated with the outputs 1-4  and will toggle when they are active.

I mapped output #3 in Mach outputs to PoKeys OC output 1.

I executed this G code file and OC output 1  is working as expected.  I then tested outputs 2-4 as well.

M62 P3
G0 X.1 F1.0
M63 P3
G0 X0
M99

Please let me know if this works in your configuration.
I have also attached a link for the most current PoKeys firmware as well.

I finished up testing on this issue yesterday and have sent my results to Polabs.  m64 and m65 are working as they should.  Unlike m62 and m63 that sync with motion to turn outputs on and off, m64 and m65 are immediate on/off.

It appears that Pokeys is not sending confirmation of movement.  I would suspect this will be resolved very quick.  I will post Pokeys information / fixes here on the matter.

Here is the touch screen for download. Please give it a try and let us know what's good, bad, and or what is missing.  We will take all ideas into consideration moving forward to provide a variety of touch friendly Mach4 screen sets. 

**Note when using continuous jog, use caution with the on screen buttons due to the sensitivity settings from screen to screen.  A slight finger roll or movement while using the buttons will ensure they will function as intended.

Enjoy,

Here is another touch screen that I would like feed back on.  Please take a look, comment and make suggestions.

Thanks,

Mike,

Thank you for taking the time to look at this and give some feed back!!  This may be close to what we provide for a touch screen in future builds.

Oh and remember.... if its going too right, then there is definitely something wrong!!  :)

Thanks,

Rob
