General Mach Discussion / machining stone jewellery

« on: February 14, 2012, 06:33:30 AM »

I'm looking for a "micro" mill of some description for machining and engraving slate jewellery. I know zilch about cutting stone but I'm assuming you end up with a lot of stone/water slurry that would eat bearings/screws for breakfast.

A machine sourcable in the UK would be a plus.

If you do/have done this - advice would be good.

Thanks

Streamline.net - These useless f***ers host my web site but for 2 or 3 days now I've been unable to access my mail server and my web site is down. Anyone else use them? or know anything?. I'm beginning to suspect they've gone bust. Any info gratefully received.

Modbus / where are serial with plugin modbus settings stored

« on: January 10, 2012, 08:33:58 AM »

Mach has unfortunatley suffered one of it's spells of amnesia and lost my modbus settings. Fortunately my memory is marginally better than Mach's so I could redo them. Just for if it happens again though does anyone know where these values are persisted? I'm talking about the modbus config settings (see attached modpic2) which applies to serial modbus with plugin support as set on the ports n pins dialog (see attached modpic1). I can't see anything in the backup XMLs.

Thanks

As a smoker for far too many years I tried a friends e-cig on New Years Eve. I bought one a couple of days later. Just a few days later - Wow - I mean WOW - anyone else tried these things? what's your thoughts?

Modbus / multiple serial modbus slaves

« on: December 06, 2011, 08:25:08 AM »

In his vid, Art alludes that Mach can communicate with 2 or possibly 4 serial modbus slaves at a time. However I can't see anywhere in either brains or macros or in setup how you would do this. For example in a brain there's nowhere I can see where you specify the slave address. The slave address used by brains seems to be set only in the modbus config dialog and that only allows one. i.e. you don't appear to be able to say slave 1 has these regs and slave 2 has these etc. Does anyone know how to address more than one slave?

Thanks

Brains Development / convert modbus CB to brain?

« on: May 12, 2011, 01:51:18 PM »

In the CB code below, reg0 and reg1 are both modbus 16 bit registers and it works just fine as a macropump. Can this code snippet be converted into a brain?

reg0 = getInput(0)
reg1 = getInput(1)

if reg0 <> reg1 then
  setModOutput(1, reg0)
end if

Thanks
