Mach4 General Discussion / Re: No Official Update since August 2019 ?????

FYI
4534 is ok

It never gets simple.
Build 4534 was withdrawn from the ftp downloads 30/09/20 and replaced with Build 4535.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: G76 Lathe Threading?

« on: October 02, 2020, 01:20:09 AM »

I think we are still in the situation where various Mach4 development versions are paired with ESS builds and there is not a simple answer as to which 'pair' works best.

It is certainly not crystal clear which 'pair' to choose for laser working either.

General Mach Discussion / Re: 5 axis

i have seen you link regarding 5 axis when opening the link i can not find where to download.
have you tried that link.
please check and tell me.
thanks,

Unfortunately, over the years KRW125 has posted many links and none of them have been valid or led to a workable Mach3 solution. His video's appear to show a working model but it has not been proven that this is not just an elaborate hoax.

General Mach Discussion / Re: M10/M11 Control

The M11 / M10 is set-up in the ESS config. Check the Warp9 documentation for details.

General Mach Discussion / Re: M10/M11 Control

It varies depending on the motion controller being used but…

The command M11P1 turns ON Output#1 and the command M10P1 turns OFF Output #1 (the P number refers to the Output# number)
The Port and Pin of the Output# is defined and Enabled in Config / Ports and Pins / Output Signals.

The M11Px / M10Px commands must always be followed by an axis (any axis) move for them to take effect.

You will need to be using the latest Mach3 version.

Hope this helps,

"Mach4 changed a bunch of internal registers (# vars) as of 4517, and requires ESS plugin 260 or newer since their change broke compatibility with the older ESS plugins.   ESS plugin 259 and older will only work with Mach4 builds 4470 and older.

Not everybody uses the ESS.

Which is the best Mach4 version to use with all the other available motion controllers ?
