Screen designer tips and tutorials / Re: newbie help with button

« on: November 01, 2018, 05:56:54 AM »

Following the suggestion by Rich, if you add a new screen button then on the button press the following button code will half the value shown in the X axis DRO half it and then write the new value back to the X axis DRO.

Tw=GetOEMDRO(800)
Call SetOEMDRO(800,Tw/2)

How do you know that you are only jogging at a velocity of 6 ?

(If you are looking at the FRO and Feedrate DRO's on the main screen then they show 6.00 until such time as a Feedrate is set - this does not mean that you are jogging at 6.00).

Unfortunately, this is an issue we are seeing more and more often here on the forum – The cheap Chinese motion controller’s work but they do not fully support all the Mach3 / Mach4 functions so there will always be problems with these products.
Best advice :-  always buy a product which has the manufacturer’s full support and backup – you may pay more initially but you only need to buy once (many members have said this here on the forum “buy cheap, buy twice”).

Assuming I have the correct .xml...

As ZASto has said your accelerations are too high.

I think you need to make many changes to your setup but just make one at a time, saving the change, restarting Mach then checking the result.

I suggest...

1) Set your X an Y axis Velocity to 2000 and Acceleration to 200.
2) Z acceleration to 90

You have a conflict of Pins where you have Enable1 set as Port 1 Pin 14 and also X Axis Direction Pin as Port 1 Pin 14 - this needs correcting.
You have M3 set for Output#6 which is not enabled or set to any Port or Pin.

There are many other things that need attention but just try those to start with.

Hi Tackleboxman,

The zipped files look just fine.

( Sorry but I forgot to mention earlier that the forum only allows files with a unique name to be posted)

Hi Tackleboxman,

It would perhaps be best if you use the Reply Tab then the Additional Options... to post your .xml file to the forum.

So I presume you are using the TripleBeast rather than the ethernet connected controller you have linked in Reply #2 ?

Sorry to sound dumb but I am trying to understand your setup.
