« on: October 08, 2006, 10:49:11 AM »

When mu machine is working and I press the "pause" button (yellow) it stops immediately without a deceleration ramp.
It causes steps loose, a lot.

You can see it here www.fxmodel.it/loose.wmv ... ehm sorry I imitate the bad noise with my voice in the video ehehe.

I tired with 2 different pc, one is a celeron 1ghz the other is a p4 3ghz, in the lastone the "drive test" graph is flat absolutely flat.

« on: July 29, 2006, 11:39:42 AM »

Hi there,
I'm new in mach3 world, I need a toolchanger macro, but i don't know how to write it.
I made a video that shows how my actual software do that, there's anyone who can make a thinks like that?

You can see the video at this address:

www.fxmodel.it/tool.mp4
or
www.fxmodel.it/tool.mov

In the video you can see the machine stop in the "tool change position", when i ask to change the tool, it goes over the probe and go down slowly, when it press the microswith stops and go back until it release.
Now it come back to the "tool change position" and wait until i change the tool, then it measure the new tool.

I'll be grateful to anyone can help me.

Ehm... sorry for my english, I'm italian

Bye Fabiano
