Share Your GCode / Re: Corrected problem of positive shift not being shown on DRO's

Try setting Velocity to 100 and acceleration to 10 and try your cutting job.

Do that setting for each axis and save axis settings each time.

Let us know if that improved position error.

It appears that with all the darker coloured skins that once you have jogged, then DROs can no longer be seen.  They just go black.

 Motor tuning are set to spec’s.

You did lower rapid and acceleration as I have suggested about three times, haven't you?   

Let me know what settings are spec and what lower settings you have tried.

When I cut a hole for a bearing on a project it is very accurate. The problem only occurs after movement to the next cut location.

This is a strong indication that lowering the rapid and acceleration or "tuning them" will make a difference.

While it is cutting the hole it is travelling at cut speed, as set in gcode.

Then when it rapids to the next location is when it is losing its position.

I am not seeing that one RC.

However while MachMe has the focus I can not jog with normal keyboard keys.  MachMe jog panel showing or not.

Another thing,  (sorry RT)  is that no matter how many trailing zeros are shown in the DROs, all numbers are rounded to two decimal places.

It occurs to me that you probably meant the feedrate setting to change the FRO percentage.

It sets the feedrate instead.

Probably need to edit the registry without MachMe running.

Yes staying on top would be good.  Maybe that is a setting.

Feedrate max to 200 is a bit limiting. 

Still not remembering the skin despite having that option selected.

No, I could take offence at that. 

I'm an Aussie.  There is a whole world out there that is not the USA. 

Sent you a PM

Greg

By the way, why does it care what the date is?  Mach3 doesn't

I think I'm seeing a pattern here.  Was Mach already loaded when you started MachMe?  If so, would you close it and start MachMe again?

No I did not even get that far.  It objected to a date and did not enquire further.

Slaved axis homing works.  Lots of Mach users have it working fine.

Tell us what your problem is John.

I have only just loaded your MachMe and have not got far

It did not ask for Mach3 location or profile.  Can I manually set these?

Can't get far till that is set.  Just says "IMach not Set"
