Flash Screens / My custom touch screen & Wizards
« on: March 31, 2010, 10:19:20 PM »
Hi,

This is the screenset Ive been working on to use with my router. It has some embeded wizards because i rather program them in actionscript than VBScript.
Its still a work in progress; I included the features I use most often.
Please feel free to make any comments and critics.

Thanks
Pablo

Finished Plugins for Download / Re: Free USB JoyPad plugin
« on: December 05, 2009, 06:51:32 PM »
Good job Area51!
I was thinking in writing a joypad plugin myself. It would be great if you could add SS support.
Also i would be nice to have a way of moving step by step to set the work origin with precision.
Maybe you could have a button to change from velocity to slow speed

Thanks

Hi zealous.
Thanks for answering.
Can you give me a few more details about the "local connection" method you mentioned?
I dont know what yu mean and it would be impolrtant for my application to show something over the toolpath.

thanks

SmoothStepper USB / Re: Is there a way of feedholding faster with SS?
« on: August 30, 2009, 07:24:02 PM »
Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply.

Youre right, with the controller frequency set at 2KHz the buffers empties in about a second. With 4Khz I get USB errors.
However Ill be waiting for Gregs upgrade because I would feel more confortable with a deterministic feedhold.

Thanks Again
Pablo

SmoothStepper USB / Is there a way of feedholding faster with SS?
« on: August 30, 2009, 01:43:46 AM »
Hi,

Im doing some bench tests on SS and Match before installing on a real machine.
Running a simple demo code I have noticed that it takes the SS 3 or 4 seconds to feedhold when I press the button.
Watching the SS data monitoring window It seems that it empties the buffer before entering hold state.

Is there a way of telling SS to flush the buffer so it holds immediately?
Are there any OEM codes or commands that are specifc for SS?

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / movieclip over toolpath display
« on: August 27, 2009, 03:08:30 PM »
NOTE: I already posted in the flash section where this topic surely belongs, but since I dit not receive any replies I decided to replicate it here to see if It is read by the most experienced users to at least confirm that what Im asking cant be done

Hi,
I have tried to create my own flash screen for mach3 and found some problems I dont know how to solve:

1) Im using the smart labels toolpath_mov and gcode_mov as in Mach Nation to show gcode and toolpath. The problem is that they seem to be always on top, even when I put something on a layer above them.
What Im trying to acomplish is to display a dragable popup keyboard to enter values, like in Mach Ultimate Screen. Anyone knows how to create a movieclip that shows over the toolpath display?

2) I want to write my own flash gcode display, but I cant find any doccumentation about how to interface to mach (where to get the gcode lines from)

3) Is there any doccumentation out there that shows all fscommand arguments used by the flash plugin?

Thanks in advance 
Pablo

General Mach Discussion / Problem with pulse width
« on: July 11, 2008, 01:51:52 PM »
Hi,

I'm trying to convert a Chinese router that has its own custom controller to Mach3.
I have already succeeded in driving the stepper motors with Mach3, but when moving at feed rates higher than 5000mm/min they sometimes lose steps.
I have compared the signals from Mach3 and those from the original controller with an oscilloscope and they seem to be equal in level and frequency, but the original controller has a pulse width of 50us that I can not find a way to configure with Mach3.
I have tried different settings, including the Sherline mode, but the pulse width is never higher than 20us.

How can I do to set a pulse width of about 50us?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Pablo
