Are you using a PP?

1.Run the driver test
2. Sure that the PP address is correct in your config.

Attach your xml as requested.

General Mach Discussion / Re: NFS turn metric values for x axis
« on: July 16, 2015, 07:20:54 AM »
If memory serves me correctly, the input values for the wizard should be metric if that is your default units and you need not convert.

As far as being under or over, your setup must be accurately done, you need to account for any tip radius, the basic diameter should be correct,
else the basic pitch diameter will not be right. Cut pitch can be correct when visually compared to a thread gauge but the basic pitch must also be correct
else you just end up with "the nut goes on" kind of thread.

Current changes from 057  and some affect lathe.

Take your pick for what you want to use. At least use something greater than say ...038

RICH

1/24/12
3.043.057
-- Softlimtis for turn fixed
-- Pause in can cyles and cutter comp  fixed
-- M10 M11 and ExPy commands fixed
-- Looking at A Axis moves but I was not able to make it for this Rev...


1/31/12
3.043.058
-- Added the ability to run Gcode while in Pause (feedhold) Also allows Inc joging in feed hold
-- Fixed doing a toolchange from MDI and locking the machine in a running Gcode state. (would not allow jogging after a toolchang in MDI)

3/30/12
3.043.060
-- Lathe - Ignore tool change not working (Fixed and tested)
-- Lathe - G53 move in Dia mode (fixed and tested)
-- Lathe - Tool Tip Rad taken out of the axis display (needed to allow zeroing and so on)
-- Lathe - Solid Object  (worked on it a bit but needs far more work and will take days, added to the TODO list)
-- Sleep function in the script editor was killing the update of
the software. I needed to remove the stopping of jog if there was a loss of focus. The trouble is that if a display thread is sleeping and you
check to see what it's name is it will not return untill it is done sleeping. So that feature has been removed... (fixed and tested)

4/3/12
3.043.062
-- Lathe - Program extents worked on. The fixture offset was getting added in
-- Lathe - worked some more on the Dia vs Rad. There was a problem with setting an axis to a position
-- Lathe - Fixed the vars that get sent to the m1083 macro. The tTaper() was not getting set

Post your code for the one that causes the crash.
What version of Mach are you using?
Are you using the generic lathe screen set.

Don't know what is the problem is, but, can try it using my OptiPlex and another computer to see if it happens here.
Like Russ never had an issue with those wizards.

I just tried that wizard and it posted code just fine.
What is running on the workshop pc besides Mach3?

From where and what wizard are you using?
The Turning / Lathe Turning Wizards by Brian / Kiran?
OD Arc?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Unequal Backlash
« on: July 12, 2015, 03:48:05 PM »
I would suggest checking how the Y axis screw is mounted and thrust is controlled.
IE; May have have one bearing , or two bearings, or maybe just a spacer or whatever.
How that is done and adjusted can lead to different backlash.

Again, hard to say, without knowing what's "under the hood" so to speak.

BTW, Car hood as i know Hood can't fit under the cover! :D

Could be due to a number things.
One needs to know the cause of the backlash and that can only be done by trying to isolate each  mechanical component
in a very meticulous way to find the causes. Note that there is no such thing as "zero" backlash and there is no substitute
for quality components.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Future of Mach3 ??
« on: July 11, 2015, 06:50:08 AM »
Mach4 is progressing and will replace Mach3.
So I just see it all as a time of transition which includes ALL the things associated with your "PC SYSTEM".
My thought would be to provide for that transition to see yourself thru the transition.
Then at the appropriate time do what makes sense for yourself.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Using Mach3 in metric
« on: July 07, 2015, 03:16:20 PM »
If you want to work in Metric then change Mach's configuration to Metric. You also need to change "all" your settings to metric ie; motor tuning, etc.

Suggest  a read of the Mach Manual.
