dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: dspMC and Pokeys

I also had the same question as Paul. I am using dspmc and you must use remote cycle start feed hold feedrate overide e/stop to operate a CNC, it is impossible to run the machine with a mouse, don't get too technical on us (poppabear)

Hi Rufi, I tried those settings and my motors jumped and bounced all over the place and shut down the drives so I think I will stick with my settings at the moment, P100 I0 D2000 scale100 and the other setting are as you said.

thanks for the reply Rufi. I know when I usedwith axis works you put the encoder counts on that screen. I did see the the steps/per on the mach3 tuning screen and thought it was for the stepper motor, anyway all is good, I have power and the motors are running.
I had already set up the few inputs and outputs that I was using and had tested them, then because of the problem I was having I downloaded mach3 again and all the Mach3 pin#'s were zero.
No big deal I just had to type 0,1,2,3,4, etc to correspond to the dspmc and  breakout board and all is good I think.
I still would like some good #'s for the PID tuning, don't like just throwing #'s in and thinking it's ok.
My drives are servo dynamics SD4-1525- 101
Motors are SEM, X&Y MT30R4-37 30lb/in 9.5amp.  Z axis MT30R4-42 30lb/in 8.4amp.
Thanks Ray.

It's now 2:00am you are right Rufi, I did have some problems loading the file and my Ip address was different from the one that came up on the screen but it did say success device found, mine was 192.168.0.10  192.168.0.50 came up. There was three bin files that downloaded from your site, the last one worked (dsp553-79b) was i supposed to know this?
Still need to know where I input the encoder PPR values.
On your old software the Mach3 pin #'s matched the 7535 breakout board pin #'s but now i see All the mach3 pin #'s are 0 so now I have to assign the pin #'s, is there a reason for that?
Thanks Ray.

Rufi, My last post was a bit rushed, I had to go out. My unit is the 7761 (0063 cpu rev 203) I downloaded from the old legacy DSPMC_BL_7.2 and the firmware plugin.
I unzipped the BL file and run the setup and pasted the plugin in the mach3/plugin folder, by the way, the fist time I did this there was a MCdspmc.dll file already there, I just pasted over it. I had no problems on Friday testing inputs and outputs it was today when I turned on the the Computer and hit the reset, as i said I can reset only one time, then when I go to try to set anything in Mach3 and try to save or upload I get the error and I have to hit Ctrl alt del to get out.
Another question. Now I am not using Axis works, where do I conf, the encoder PPR? axis works had it on the main screen.
Regards, ray.

Friday I was just setting up Mach 3 and setting the enable for the drives but didn't power them up. Checked the enable signal output ok.
Today I turned on the computer reset mach3, still no power to the drives and I get the error above, I can only reset it once.
go into my eng, config, to set up the drives then try to upload an I get the same error, then I have to shut down the computer and start again.
Tried installing Mach3 again, tried copying the DLL file again into Mach3/plugins, still no go
I did try powering the drives for a moment and I did get a Y axis runaway, switched the tach wires and I could power up the drives but still get the same alarm.
Thanks in advance.

WoW, That took some time. DL the Mach3 Ver,3.43.22 and it's OK now, found that out on your other forum, thanks.

Dave, The screen comes up but I must be missing something. The screen looks good but i can't select anything, comes up with a scripter compile error.in:

Dave, I downloaded the beta MSM with no problems and it loaded and run in Mach3.
Don't know why I can't download the the readme or manual.

Still nothing with firfox. something happened when I used explorer, it said it was done, it must be a short file? If it did download I can't find it..
I haven't had any problems downloading any other files in the past, downloaded screen just last night.
