General Mach Discussion / Re: Special code for threading?
« on: January 23, 2013, 03:47:38 PM »
I called them and I have become a drag and I can't waste any more of there time, as I said to them I did post it on the DSPMC part of the forum but they didn't reply. I've only called about 3 times in the last month or so, just need answers, you read the part in the manual, they say mach3 has a bug, you guys say not. I wanted to use more than one MPG, they said wait until Mach4 comes out now I find out it's DSPMC can can only handle 1 MPG.
He did offer me my money back for the unit $1500.0 just might take him up on that.

General Mach Discussion / motion controllers working with Mach3

Anything other that Vital systems DSPMC that would work with mach3.

General Mach Discussion / Need to know who has DSPMC and mach3 on a lathe

As the title says, Who is using DSPMC and Mach3 on a lathe using DC motors. not getting any help from Vital systems.

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: g94/95 feed problem
« on: January 23, 2013, 02:01:25 PM »
Rich I can understand if it was in program and lets say the last feedrate was a g01 f.050" and was modal, then my next line could read ( and I'm still in g95) s200 z move with F command so it would pick up the last f command but I was using mdi with only one line of info, g95s200 m03 z1. and it moved 1. at about 50"/min.
I am going to start again from scratch and make sure there are no previous feedrates in the system. I have been fixing this stuff for almost 40 years on the mechanical side and with Fanuc etc, don't know crap when it comes to PC systems. I am trying to compare mach to the high end controls but it has to work and not be dangerous, it's very easy to miss a F command when programming manually that's how I make i living.

What is LED1370? I find it a pain using half the mach parameters and half DSPMC parameters to make stuff work, I just don't understand what they are saying buy turning something on and off again.

Thanks tweakie and Dave for the mod.

Sorry..

That's easy for you to say, don't know how to do that. I just try to evaluate this stuff, why wouldn't have that been done as standard on the standard lathe screen, doesn't anyone want to see the feedrate?

You say no g32 no movement so why do I get movement at a simulated feed of about 50"/min when I just command S command and g95 and a Z move with no F.
It will not be the first or the last time I forgot to put a feed, just need to know if it's DSPMC or mach, still wonder about the integration.

Sorry, lets start again. I know all about threading single point on the the lathe like using g76 etc and not having to turn led's on and off, don't know what Rufi is on about, that's the problem with trying to marry two systems together, it's a pain. This is what his manual says:

Mach3 Threading Bug Workaround:
DSPMC plugin uses LED 1370 to workaround threading logic problem with mach3.
In your G-Code program, turn on LED 1370 right before the threading g-code command and turn it off after the threading cycle is done. This will cause the programmed RPM +20% to be sent to Mach3 instead of true RPM during the threading cycle. This makes sure mach3 will generate correct feedrate for Z axis. Once this LED is off, true RPM will be shown on mach3 spindle rpm DRO.

Also he telsl me I can't run 2 hanwheels at the same time and to wait for Mach4 to out, don't if that's the capability of DSPMC or Mach?
