Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Serious problems with G76 cycle in Mach4 Lathe and CSMIO IP S

Hi Daniba73,

Judging by the serious lack of response to these postings I have a feeling that, sadly, you are the only person here that is threading with Mach4. 

I look forward to hearing about your latest testing.

General Mach Discussion / Re: driver test resetting pulse speed?

« on: January 27, 2020, 05:33:03 AM »

Hi Fred,

If you are running Mach3 in Demo mode then it is limited to 25kHz.

It is generally best to run at the lowest possible Kernel speed that still allows stepper motors to reach their full speed (if Motor Tuning will not allow motors to be set at a higher Velocity then the Kernel speed has to be increased). It is unfortunately a human failing that we want to run Mach3 at the fastest possible Kernel speed, thinking it will give better performance, but that is false.

I know it is just a typo but would your PC run at 35000 mhz  ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: C axis DRO not shown

« on: January 27, 2020, 05:21:17 AM »

Q1 Is it possible to select/display the DRO for the C axis?

Q1 = Yes.
You will need to use a Screen Editor and change the designation for the 4th Axis DRO from 'A Position' to 'C Position' and also change the 4th Axis Scale DRO from 'OEM 62' to 'OEM 64'.

Hi fred,

For Mill the teach file is stored;  C:/Mach3/GCode/MDITeach.tap  I assume Turn is the same. If your Turn MDI screen does not have the Teach buttons then you could use a screen editor to add them.

Hi Kazimir,

Sorry but as Craig has mentioned we do not provide support for Novusun products here. Please contact me by PM if you have a genuine Mach3 license.

General Mach Discussion / Re: G31 command stops since moving to Ethernet SmoothStepper

« on: January 23, 2020, 07:15:31 AM »

As I understand it, the probe input is "wired in" to the stepping engine in M3 via the parallel port, so that stepping stops instantaneously when the probe is triggered.  This is essential to make sure that the probe doesn't overrun and to get an accurate reading.  The functionality of the M3 stepper engine isn't used through the ESS, the ESS does it instead, so this is probably an ESS issue rather than Mach 3.

Nice thought John but Mach3 cannot stop instantly without loosing position - it has to be a controlled stop (using deceleration) and there will be overrun. The contact 'trigger point' is stored in a variable rather than taken from the DRO reading to allow for this.
In reality (dependant on the axis acceleration setting and axis speed) the overrun is very small but it has to be allowed for in the probe design.
