Works in progress / New (revised) Mach3 6-axis screen

« on: July 28, 2011, 10:11:03 AM »

Hi to all

I have developed a new accessory for my cnc Zap, the fifth axis! (see it on http://www.robotfactory.it/index.htm)

I searched all over the web a screen for Mach3 but I found only one developed by Darc (http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,972.0.html).

After I have install it and tried it, I realized that it had many problems.

Using the wonderful Klaus1311 editor (http://www.kd-dietz.de/index_eng.htm) I fixed and added things that I felt appropriate.

Now I need help to test my 6 Axis screen.

I attach a self-extracting file that installs the screen, after installing it, on Mach3 folder you will find the file 6Axis.set (load screen).

There are two important features to note, Gcodes button opens the html page with an explanation of Gcode and "buttons" Robot Factory opening page link to my site (a bit of publicity ....).

I look forward to advice, criticism and all the information to improve this screen, so that it can become a standard for me.

This is the image of the first page "Program Run".

Thanks,
Andrea

Hi Stitos,

This is the schematics that I use and works very well.

You can connect magnet on A1 and A2.

Thanks,
Andrea

Hi Dan

This is the correct plugin that I used.

Hi Tweakie

This is the first photo of the external "Motor Control" that I sell.

Hi Dan

I think you're confusing engraving with embossing.

The photo of the message is created with embossing (spindle) you can try this zip attached (45 x 65 mm).
Pay attention the zip photo is negative.

Thanks,
Andrea

Hi Dan

The new DLL seems to work perfectly...

I am running Mach3 version 3.042.020 licensed and using the latest DLL that Art has provided.

For configuration, I just did what I explained at the beginning.

Also, I have made a box with the electronics inside and connect that to second parallel port inside the PC and work perfectly, so that they disengage from the fourth axis and make that the most versattile and portable to any CNC.

If possible, put a photo the next day.

Thanks,
Andrea
