Wow, now that's weird, wonder what's causing that, as it happens on all 3 axis.
Dave
Guess I'm the only one with problems still so I'm definitely doing something odd apparently.
Maybe one of you kind gentlemen would tell me how your saving your macros in sequence?
I had the 2 macros on my shuttle pro working just fine and for some reason, it will not execute them now after insatalling the new plug-in.
I have them saved as:
Touch plate = M70
Laser Crosshair = M71
Ref home = M72
And when I input the numbers above (without the "M"), it just shows on the status line in Mach that it has been executed but nothing happens with the machine.
Anybody have a clue?
One other question, have you guys actually used the reverse on the machine? When I reverse any axis, it's very "glitchy" and not smooth when going in the original direction.
Thanks,
Dave
RAy I believe the auto function is what you want it only calls the M6start, which would contain the code for the actual toolchanger function. WHen that code ends Mach restarts automatically
SO you do not do a conventional G43H# tool length comp??
(;-) TP
RAY how are you doing TLO with the knee??? In the normal Gcode convention the G43 adjust the Z to compensate for the tool length. Unless your knee IS the Z?
Another point with a knee mill I use the longest tool as the master as this makes ALL tool oofsetts in the neg direction and it will NEVER cycle up to the Z upper lilimts. If there were a drill bit in the mix and the shorter tool was the master then without very carefull planning as to quill travel and where the top of the part is(zero) it would retract the z up into the limits and stop the program.
AND the same is true with a long tool as master, you have to make sure there is enough Z travel so the short tool does not TRIP the lower limits as well(;-)

if you look at the "Drop down" list, you will see that the drop down puts it in numerical order, and the 800 series are in the middle, that will shift all your other OEM button choices by 6 down.
How about the Reverse Jog axis buttons, the thought here is that when you tick the reverse (for some axis), that if it was going ++ with that push, it will now go --

Probably because you're running a relatively high feedrate, with a relatively low acceleration. When running in constant velocity mode, something's gotta give, and it's sharp corners. Either increase acceleration, or decrease feedrate. I believe using exact stop mode will also cure that, but at a cost....

Hi HimyKabibble,
Firstly, thanks for reply.
of cos, I wish to increase feedrate. Otherwise I have to spend more than 6 hours to complete a workpiece(due to thousand lines to run)!
So, as you mentioned, to increase acceleration in mach3? or do I need to adjust servo motor's parameter too?
Thanks again.
OK, those of you with a Shuttle Pro please test this plug in.
I added 10 total custom macros, and I added a "Reverse Axis" option for Axis X-C.
Let me know how the Reverse axis works, since there is another section of code that deals with jogging, but I think it is for something different, could be wrong of course.
Remember to save out your current shuttle pro .dll

A challenge was recently made in a post. Certainly could provide for some interesting discussion.
QOUTE
It is my personal opinion that you should purchase a license for LazyCam. Here is why:
"I have not found, as of this writing, a basic CAM program for the mill and LATHE which has a good manual, excellent knowledgeable support, and provides the level of CAM capability directly into MACH for the cost of the license."
Hmm........... let the discussion begin.
