« on: March 10, 2011, 04:53:42 PM »
Hi,

Im looking to read a frequency input from the parrallel or serial port into a macro, is this possible?? Forgive me if im being thick but im not too up together on macros.

Have been thinking, would this be easier to do in a macro??

Do macros have access to all the same variables as brains, oem dro numbers etc etc??

Hi,

Im looking to take an average of an analogue input over a period of time, maybe also a couple of inputs averaged into one oem dro, im struggling to see how to do it with timers and things, any ides?

I need to do something like continuosly sample the inputs(s) and give an avergaed out put every 0.5s from the previous 0.5s.

Thanks

That is interesting,

so is my pokeys going to give me a rate of 10 hz? or is it too slow?

General Mach Discussion / Analogue Inputs

Hi,

I was wondering about analogue inputs, what is the fastest and most effective ways to get an analogue figure into mach?  I have a pokeys 55, but i read that the information is relatively slow to update, i have also tried a gecko g100, is ethernet faster or better than usb? Is there and easier way? i was interested in getting it into the serial port but there is no serial in.

The alternative is turning it into frequency, would that be more effective??

Thanks

Matt

Do While Not isActive(THCON)
   x = x + 1
   sleep 1000
   If x = 3 then
      MsgBox("OK To Move Timed Out")
      code "M30"
      Exit Do
   End If
Loop

Morning,

I tried the modification to the m3 macro and it seems to work for me............

Ian,

Thanks for your efforts, i will take your m3 macro addition and try it out, i was hoping for a simple fire the torch, wait for the arc to transfer and then pause for the pierce delay interval then move, hopefully adapting the m3 macro will sort this out.

Thanks again

Matt

Hi,

Mach seems t ignore the pierce delay that you set in sheetcam when you use the thc function to recognise the arc ok signal before moving, is there another way of using the signal?? I have simply instaled mach 3 plasma and when i press the thc button on the signal is used when it is off the pierce delay is used.

Im not totally sure if there is a G4 in my code but all i know is the delay works with the thc button off and is ignored with it on, when i get a moment i will try using a different post or something.

Thanks for the reply,

I dont have the code to hand but i goes along the lines of

g28.1 z3.0
G92 z0.0
G00 z9.4
G92 z0.0
g00 z6.0
M03
P (any number i want to put in)
z3.0
x.........y.......

Im using the mp 1000thc delay fan on pierce count post.

Mach seems to observe the p.... when not using the thc function but not with it, is that correct?

Matt
