Mach4 Plugins / Re: XHC WB04 plugin

« on: June 04, 2020, 12:08:49 AM »

UPDATE:
For some reason that I don't know, I opened Mach4 with the 2018-06 driver and activate the driver in mach4 (the WHB04 does not work with this driver, nothing in the diagnostic box)
Then not later I put the driver 1.0.19 and Mach4 opened, I have the ESTOP, STOP and PLAY keys working. I believe that Macros also work but not test. JOG does not work.

But it's already a good start.

I also loader the Shaeto / xhc4mach project on GitHub. VisualStudio, it lacks references so that I can use it, but I haven't put time on it yet.

about the crash of Mach4 with pluggin WHB04B, I have the impression that this is due to a missing dependency (framework or ??)

I tried to validate with a debugger but Mach4 detect my debugger and refuses to continue. It stops just before loading the plugging :-(

And the error in EventViewer gives this:
Faulting application name: Mach4GUI.exe, version: 4.2.0.4498, timestamp: 0x5ebe36eb
Faulting module name: Mach4Core.dll, version: 4.2.0.4498, timestamp: 0x5ebe360f

I would like to confirm with you about the required dependencies?

Hello, I'm in the same wave with the WHB04B. Since my update to MACH4, I lost this little wonder :-(

Recent versions of Mach4 do not start with the driver offered by cd_edwards :-(

I don't know if the subject is dead or just on the ice but I would like to know if there is any other development on this subject, if not I would like to help to finish the development of this pilot.

I started to look to make a little prg in VB to intercept the HID of WHB04B but by reading this discussion I think that there is already enough to start and maybe I could help this development at the link to start again to zero :-)

(Sorry for my English, it's not my first language)

Hello, I was wondering if since some time someone has found a pilot for the WHB04B-4 XHC which works on mach4?

General Mach Discussion / MACH3 V66, Gcode abnormal behavior after G31 (windows 10 64bit)

« on: May 10, 2020, 03:40:09 PM »

Good morning all .
I need your help before I have 1 hair left on my head :-(
I use Mach3 version R3.043.062 on a Windows 1 64bit PC.
But I mentioned that I tested with a Windows7 64bit PC and I also tested with 5 or 6 versions of Mach3 plus base. I have the same problem :-(
Here is the problem, when I execute a G31 to position my torch on the sheet (the G31 performs well) but the movement thereafter is unstable (1-2 instructions after the G31)

Here is the code:

N0050 G20 (Units: Inches)
N0060 G90 G91.1 G40
N0110 M06 T1 F90.0  (PLASMA_0.250_65AMP)
N0120 G00 Z1.0000
N0130 X2.5084 Y1.3204
(M800)
G01 F40
G31 Z-10 F600
G92 Z-0.0623
G01 F40
N0150 G00 Z0.1500
N0170 G00
N0180 M03
N0190 G04 P0.1
N0200 G01 Z0.0600 F3.937
N0210 X2.3084 F90.0
N0220 G02 X2.3084 Y1.3204 I0.1796 J0.1796 F27.0
N0230 X2.2713 Y1.3674 I0.1796 J0.1796 F90.0
N0240 G01 X2.2947 Y1.4646
N0250 M05

the M800 is in comment because I use a Macro for my AUTO-ZERO of the Z, I put the code directly to CodeG for ease here.
But I have the same problem one way or another

With the code all runs well until line N0220

N0210: my cutting entry (ok)
N0220: my circle (is not executed)
N0230: overcut (OK)
and the rest OK too, it skips my line N0220 :-(

And the height ... 1 in 10 it makes the circle perfectly :-(

Then if I remove my AUTO-ZERO, This code runs perfectly.
Besides that my torch is not on the sheet :-)

N0050 G20 (Units: Inches)
N0060 G90 G91.1 G40
N0070 F1
N0080 S500
N0110 M06 T1 F90.0  (PLASMA_0.250_65AMP)
N0120 G00 Z1.0000
N0130 X2.5084 Y1.3204
(M800)
N0150 G00 Z0.1500
N0170 G00
N0180 M03
N0190 G04 P0.1
N0200 G01 Z0.0600 F3.937
N0210 X2.3084 F90.0
N0220 G02 X2.3084 Y1.3204 I0.1796 J0.1796 F27.0
N0230 X2.2713 Y1.3674 I0.1796 J0.1796
N0240 G01 X2.2947 Y1.4646
N0250 M05

Tested  and 10 of 10 is good  :-(

I would also like to clarify that I even tested on a fresh installation of Mach3 without Plugin and without configuration / customization and I have the same problem.

I really know where to go, help me :-)
