PoKeys / Pokeys57CNC motor pins

« on: February 26, 2020, 04:58:09 PM »

This should be simple for those that know the jargon.  Which pins match with which.  kl-6050 stepper driver and pokeys57cnc board.  I'm totally electronically challenged.

TIA

Good morning gabedrummin,

It would be helpful if you posted the code you used to attempt to thread.  Did you write it yourself? Post that code.  Was it generated by a threading wizard? Attach a screen shot of the settings used.

Are you using Mach3 or Mach4?

More info gets more help.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Problems - Win10 update + PMDX_424 + LUA

The mcLua.mcc file is recreated each time that m4 starts.  It reads all macros (*.mcs) for that profile and then outputs the compiled code to the mcLua.mcc file.  It appears that that file is not being made due to either lack of permission or that there is an error in one of the macros that it is compiling.  Are there any other error messages thrown before that one?

 Have no experience with encoders.  I see that pmdx has multiple encoder choices, bi or uni directional, reversed, with index, with synthetic, without index. 

I am using pmdx411 on a lathe.  Didn't think you could use 'U' as an axis.  I have x,z and b.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: How to run functions in macros

« on: February 04, 2020, 11:43:42 AM »

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I believe functions declared in the screen load script are only available to gui related activities, buttons, panels, etc.  There are two lua chunks running, a gui and a core chunk.  I believe you have to create a module either in the  Mach4Hobby\Modules directory, like the mcProbing.lua, if you want it available to all profiles or in the profiles modules directory if you want it available only to that profile.  You then reference that function within your macro. The mc.********* are available in both chunks but your personal funcs are only available in the chunk it uses.  Clear as mud eh?

myFuncs.SetSigState(mc.OSIG_OUTPUT2, 0)

Instead of displaying 'failure' why not display wx.wxMessageBox(mcErrorCheck[rc])?  It might give you better debugging information.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Create elements in Mach 4

Since no two individuals will ever agree on what should be included/excluded from a screen set NFS has given everyone the tools to make their own.  wxFormBuilder is similar to most Rad  dev systems but the linkage to a panel or interfacing with it is not well documented. 

I sent a pm to Bryanna suggesting a short step by step video of creating a form in wxFormbuilder and then using it in a panel.  Never got a response.

Yes, use a register and make sure the 'persistent' is ticked.

I believe codes 1000+ are taken.  Try your same code with #'s less than 1000
