General Mach Discussion / Re: Feedrate override wont work

« on: August 21, 2009, 05:15:20 PM »

Hi, Dan

Tried your xml & G code files with ver .024 and ver .029, I did get a better result with ver .029's override, It got an increase with both ver's though.
Thing's sometimes get screwy now and then, Glad it's working now.

Hi, Eddie

This is probilly what you need to change or put a G90.1 or G91.1 in the top of your G code file.

Hope this helps, Chip

Hi, Dbvogt

I guess I'm not seeing the issue, Pic 1 shows the import settings I'm using.

Hears a LCam file and G code file to look at.

Hi, Raychar

WinPCNC/PCNC seems to be step & direction/ printer port, So Mach should be fine.

General Mach Discussion / Re: machine pauses after spindle/laser is triggerd

« on: August 18, 2009, 11:30:37 AM »

Hi, TP

The S(speed) gives the PWM signal to set the laser power and Dir pin use eliminates the Slow M3/M5 on/off Issue.

I've got a couple small YAG tubes (1-2 watt's), May start there, The power-supply for the big one is the size of a small Import Car (3 phase). 

We should talk sometime. 

Thanks, Chip
