Modbus / Re: Simple tutorial on analog inputs with Arduino

« on: January 27, 2017, 04:03:55 AM »

Yes. I am here. I haven't tried shillings code on modbus. I am using Vinny's code. You can download it from the link on this thread. I have used it to display Mach DROs on LCD screen with arduino. I'll fish out the code, tidy it up and share it here in a few days.

hi! I need help from you zafarsalam

How to setup dro info on lcd connected to arduino modbus slave on arduino with shillings code modbus slave???

Ihave included wire.h and liquidcristali2c.h for lcd in arduino code.
From now I ned help for how to send data from mach3 -->>>brain-->>serial modbus plugin--->>>arduino modbus slave ??
many users have this done but no documentation on arduino code, no info about serial plugin configs,

Help  and thanks

I am out of country right now. Will give you some tips on it when back home by this weekend.

« on: May 07, 2016, 03:23:46 AM »

I have a single station strippit super-ag machine retrofit with mach3 controls. are any special G-codes and M-codes available for nibbling circular pattern or holes on a grid or holes on a line with increment at certain angles. I know the math part but do not know how to code it to script to special m-g-code. Are any such codes available on line. Does Mach4 have any of this built it. like mach4-punch

This can be done with M-code macros.

Hello, Mr Salam.

Glad to hear that you are on the market fo Mach3 wireless handwheel WHB04-L.
Till now, for handwheel, we have only support 4 Axis for this model No WHB04-L with LCD display

Alex,
Your website shows a pendant PHB04-6 which can handle 6 axes. Is it available?

Hello,Mr Zafa,

This Mach3 wireless electronic handwheel was made by us. This is Alex He from ChengDu XinHeCheng Technology Co.,Ltd
And you see XHC is the from "XinHeCheng" first letter.So we are factory.
Leave your email address and 2015 new version Mach3 usb cnc pendant will be sent.

Hi Alex,

Nice to see the manufacturer's representative here. I got one of your wireless pendants from a friend who bought it on aliexpress.com. I have tried it on my machines and found it very useful. The response is a little slow, but it is bearable. I wish to have one with 6 axis support.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: short pulse output with macro

« on: April 26, 2015, 11:48:54 AM »

Sorry but I don't get this. How can it miss the leading edge due to the pulse width - doesn't make sense.

It's actually like this:
In a macro named M20 I include the commands

activatesignal(output1)
sleep(80)
deactivatesignal(output1)

Output1 goes directly to arduino which turns on a solenoid which causes press shaft to turn. When I execute M20 in MDI then sometimes the arduino simply doesn't register it.

I am now planning to use arduino interrupt pins and trigger the solenoid on the leading edge. This might solve the problem.

« on: April 26, 2015, 10:03:55 AM »

Arduino sometimes skips the leading edge too if it is less than 100 ms. I guess it is due to 100 ms refresh cycle for macros. I actually need to send output to arduino within 10 ms of an input. Seems like it is not possible with macros. It is a punching machine capable of doing 350 ppm. But because of this problem I am getting just 200

VB and the development of wizards / short pulse output with macro

« on: April 26, 2015, 12:42:00 AM »

I am sending pulses to arduino from Mach with coding similar to this

activatesignal(output1)
sleep(110)
deactivatesignal(output1)

If I reduce the delay below 100 then most of the time arduino doesn't pick the deactivate signal. Is there a workaround for this. I need to output a pulse of 50 ms.
