General Mach Discussion / Re: Input pin help

« on: April 12, 2013, 11:41:06 AM »

Hi Ricey3,

The digitize LED should only illuminate when the touch plate (pin 13 in your case) is connected to GND.

Here are a couple of things you may like to check again...

Check that you have pin 13 enabled and configured for active low.
Check that you do not have pin 13 configured elsewhere in your setup (causing a conflict).
Check that the GND connection you are using is the same GND that the Breakout board uses.

Hope this helps.

Hi GMitchell

Slaving the Y and A axes.

I am not an expert at this because I have never had occasion to actually do it but…

In Motor Tuning make the settings exactly the same for both the Y and A axes and save the settings for each.
In General Config uncheck the A-Axis so it makes the A axis Linear.
In Slave Axis select Y to A then restart Mach3.

You should now have both these axes slaved.

Tangent Corner / Missing steps.

The fitter tells me that the wiring checks out OK so the missing steps issue must be caused by a bug in the software.

Hi zoheirlabibes,

You could either run in Exact Stop mode (Config / General Config - Motion Mode - select Exact Stop)

or...

Increase your Acceleration Rates in Motor Tuning (Config / Motor Tuning) for either or both the X and Y axes (you may also have to reduce the Velocity settings as well).

Obtaining the best results can be pretty much a matter of getting the balance between Velocity and Acceleration just right.

Hi Jacqui,

You should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.

Having said that, from my experience, you are unlikely to be able to CNC machine the modern day styles of spectacle frames at anything even approaching a realistic manufacturing cost.

You would be well advised to initially draw up your intended design in a CAD/CAM package then take it to an established CNC machine shop and ask their opinion as to the feasibility of manufacture and if you are brave enough, ask about the cost.

Mind you, if the ‘Buddy Holly’ style ever comes back into fashion you may be in with a chance. 

Good fortune with your fund raising.
