General Mach Discussion / Re: problem whit mach3 and gcode

« on: November 01, 2011, 04:24:56 AM »

If I get guaranteed support and operation of the software are also ready to buy immediately.

Hi Gionata,

The support for Mach and the speedy resolution of any problems you may encounter is second to none and the size and popularity of this forum (as well as on the Zone) is testament to that.
There are some, very basic, demo GCodes here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,18345.0.html which are within the 500 line limit and intended for Mach evaluation just to get a feel of how it performs with any particular machine.

Everything has to have an identification label (cleaned for the photo). Sadly the Morris marque now belongs to the Nanjing Automobile Corp. and the Morris oxford site is now a business park but for this little oil cooler the memory lives on.

Unfortunately the original oil pressure sender has expired so, for the time being, a more recent model is going to be used.

Excellent Andrea.
Did you design the head/nose that actually holds the studs or is this a proprietary device ??

Hi Asen,

You should be able to calculate your steps per unit of movement exactly for each axis that uses different pitch screws etc. This calculator may be of assistance to you http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16315.0.html

Hi kregan

Looking good. 

You seem to be getting a turn-on (or turn-off) delay looking at the dots on those short lines ??

dear Tweakie

I just try another smaller nema 11 ,yesterday the motor can run by jog with keyboard or DMG on srenn , but when I run use G0 command ,the motor run about 3/4 turn ,stop for a while ,then run again 3/4 turn ,stop ,then run again .

what is this cause from ?.

pls advise.

thank you

Hi Asen,

My guess is that it is your PC.
If it is running background tasks or sharing application time like multi-tasking then this may cause the issue you are having.

OK, I think I understand now. 

Go into config / general config page and change IJ Mode to Inc

That should do it.

Hi Richard,

It is perhaps easiest to choose an output pin# which is available at a connector on your controller board for the Z Axis direction pin (then set this within Mach as the Z axis dir pin#).
I have pin#16 set as the direction pin and this is then connected to the laser trigger. The pin can be toggled, within Mach, active high / active low to suit you laser TTL logic input.

Hope this helps,

Tweakie.
