General Mach Discussion / Re: auto Z setter adjusting

« on: June 20, 2010, 09:18:24 PM »

Just for your info,

On my setup all I need to stop any noise affecting the probe input, is a pullup resistor.

Every setup will be different.

Does debounce come into use only if he is using a micro switch to detect instead of completing a circuit by shorting an input?

It does not make any difference to the debounce setting in general config, what method is used to change the active state of an input.

Index has its own separate debouce setting, but all other inputs EXCEPT probe, are grouped together under the debounce setting.

In older versions of Mach, probe was included in that group, but was removed about two years ago.

 Under Config/General Configuration I have to make the Debounce Interval and Index both at 5000 or a bit higher to make sure there is no noise being detected which will upset the Z Zero point as well.

Just for your info George,

Debounce setting has no direct bearing on the probe input.

Hope you don't mind if I ask a dumb question. 

What is a jog ball screen?

The little I know of this stuff is just by looking at other examples and fooling around with it.

You could use this code as your button script

SetOEMDRO (800,0)
SetOEMDRO (801,0)

Each side of the dual driven axis must have its own home switch.  Each with their own input.  They cannot share an input.

Then Mach will home the slaved axis and square the axis as accurately as you have set up the switches.

NC Pod / Firmware installer

« on: June 07, 2010, 08:04:35 PM »

There is a firmware installer to load the Mach compatible firmware on the NCpod website.

Does anybody know if there is there a similar installer to reapply the "NCpod Basic Control Panel" firmware?

Thanks
