I don’t have spindle feedback of any kind.

Hello, digging up an old thread - i know. im really trying to get this macro to work but it get an io error when i try to run it. Is there any workaround? or another way to edit the linearity.dat file? i just spent quite some time going through 100 different rpms and noting them. id love to get this to work.  Would anybody be able to generate a file for me if i provided my information? im really stuck here =(

Hello, not to dig up an old thread - but I’m having issues with similar hardware I cannot get a 0-10v signal to come from c82. It’s just straight 10v - am I doing something wrong, is there a setting that needs changed? 

I’ve got the c82 with Ess and c76 (I think)

General Mach Discussion / Somebody please help me install an mpg wheel
« on: November 08, 2021, 05:48:22 PM »
I am desperately trying to install and use an mpg wheel, not the pendant - just the wheel. It’s going on a panel im making.

My machine has one of those xhc Chinese Ethernet controllers.

My wheel has 4 connections A B 0v vcc

My controller only has a 24v power source, so I fed it through an external 5v  source that isn’t tied into the Cnc - ran the A B wires to inputs.

It doesn’t work, there’s nothing in my controller plug-in that offers mpg - wxcept the wbh04 pendant. 

Can I add a second port to my pc, am interface board? Help! Lol

Modbus / Re: Simple tutorial on analog inputs with Arduino
« on: November 07, 2021, 08:00:27 PM »
I Know this thread is old, but its exactly the information looking for - i just need some help on the subject - hopefully yall are still around.  I did this mod, and it works great, only issue is the values are bouncing around very erratically. is there a fix for this? is it normal? will this cause issues in my programs with so many abrupt changes to feed rate and spindle speed?

Machscreen Screen Designer / How do you enable buttons screen4?
« on: October 03, 2021, 11:23:00 AM »
Hello, i have a screenset , where hotkeys dont work in certain tabs. Specifically probing - i have hotkeys i used to adjust jog speed and zeroing axis. I use screen 4 and i cannot figure out for the life of me how to make hotkeys work on these pages.

I’m not entirely sure, I downloaded it straight from the website around March and I haven’t updated it. It should be the latest since Mach 4 wa already out and I was told Mach 3 was a finished product that was longer getting support

Yes, or edit button script for auto tool zero. Either way

okay, so when i do this. the file INSIDE the folder shows correct. but when i open it through mach3 it just reverts back. and changes the file in the mach folder under my profile

 i just made a few text files on my desktop that i can copy/paste because i have to reset them every time i restart. but while the program is up they stay and work fine.


 Tool change location just goes to the side of my machine where i can access it easily
M6Start.m1s

  tool = GetSelectedTool()
  SetCurrentTool( tool )
 
  Code" f400 g53 y -46 z -.2" 


for my tool 0 , works great. i have a plate attached to my table at that location and a dro to set the material thickness.

HiddenScript.m1s

CurrentFeed = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current feedrate to return to later
CurrentAbsInc = GetOemLED(48) 'Get the current G90/G91 state
CurrentGmode = GetOemDRO(819) 'Get the current G0/G1 state
Plate = .2525 - GetUserDRO(1202)

If GetOemLed (825)=0 Then 'Check to see if the probe is already grounded or faulty
Code "G1 P0" ' this delay gives me time to get from computer to hold probe in place
Code"z2"
Code "f400 g53 x0 y0"
While IsMoving() 'wait while it happens
Wend
Code "G54 Z0"
While IsMoving() 'wait while it happens
Wend
DoOEMButton (1010) 'zero the Z axis so the probe move will start from here
Code "G90 G31Z-4. F10" 'probing move, can set the feed rate here as well as how far to move
While IsMoving() 'wait while it happens
Wend
ZProbePos = GetVar(2002) 'get the exact point the probe was hit
Code "G0 Z" &ZProbePos 'go back to that point, always a very small amount of overrun
While IsMoving ()
Wend
Call SetDro (2, Plate) ' change .060 to your plate thickness and then adjust for final accuracy
Sleep 200 'Pause for Dro to update.
Code "G1 Z1 f400" 'put the Z retract height you want here, must be greater than the touch plate thickness
While IsMoving ()
Wend
Code "(Z axis is now zeroed)" 'puts this message in the status bar
Code"x0 y0"
Code "z0"
Code "F" &CurrentFeed 'Returns to prior feed rate

Else
Code "(Z-Plate is grounded, check connection and try again)" 'this goes in the status bar if applicable
End If
If CurrentAbsInc = 0 Then 'if G91 was in effect before then return to it
Code "G91"
End If
If CurrentGMode = 0 Then 'if G0 was in effect before then return to it
Code "G0"
End If
