General Mach Discussion / Y axis toolpath display is inverted

« on: November 19, 2010, 06:07:31 PM »

I am having a issue with the toolpath display and it has me stumped.  I have my Home 0,0 with home switches in the upper left corner of my machine.  From home the Y axis move  away from home is a positive move, toward home is a negative. My dro's all are showing  correctly.  I can't get the display screen to move the correct way in the y axis if I move the y axis in the positive direction (away from home the display shows it moving toward  home. The display show's that my home position is in the lower left instead of the upper left. No matter what settings I change I can't get the home display in the upper right and have y positive away from home.

I hope I have explained this well enough, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Tom

Dave, When I started the machine today the inhibited LED was functioning on start up,  even shut it down and restarted and it worked again.  I am at a loss as to why. But I will keep an eye on it and let you know if it happens again. By the way I am using it with a Smooth Stepper.

One other thing I noticed is that whenever I hit the stop button while a program is running the smooth stepper will loose data and lock up, it doesn't happen on an e-stop or if I hit feed hold and then stop after the machine stops moving.


Thanks,
Tom

Dave, I have noticed that when I 1st start up Mach the enable LED does not start to function until after the machine is enabled for the 1st time, then it will begin working. Not really a problem, just thought you might like to know.

Dave, Thank you, that was the problem, I somehow disabled the brains they are now enabled and it is working correctly.  

Thanks again,

Dave, I was able to get it working by changing the OEM LED code from 1702 to the same code as the Output 1 LED.  I know that you don't want us messing with the screen so I put it back to the 1702, I just wanted you to know in case this helps.

Thanks,
Tom

Dave is the Inhibited LED operational?  I have input 1 setup and the check box set, The functionality is working but the LED does not light.

Thanks,
