Machscreen Screen Designer / Re: Tool DRO problem
« on: March 10, 2014, 12:30:44 PM »
I have tried both (only) Tool #DRO's listed. Neither seems to work.

1:  Current tool number DRO, Standard Code= 24, Format= %4.4f
2:  Tool number DRO, OEM Code= 824, Format= %4.4f

Open to suggestions!

Gerry,
Thanks for the quick response! The tool number shows up in the top corner of the tool path, but all I get in the Tool# DRO are zeros. I have the /M6 T# coding in the program, it just does not read it into the DRO. ???

Machscreen Screen Designer / Tool DRO problem
« on: March 09, 2014, 07:48:36 PM »
I'm relatively new to MachScreen. So, here's my question: I placed a "Tool#" DRO & a "Tool Dia" DRO on my screen and followed up with the "Function Code" for  both. Now, does the "function" read the G-ode and list the tool number & diameter in the DROs, or does something else happen? DRO remains 0.0000. I ran a program listing T1 as the tool (with tool # & Dia.) and the Tool# & Tool Dia DRO's remains 0.000. If I try to enter a number in the Tool# DRO, it returns to 0.0000. The DRO for TOOL DIA excepts the number entered. This is making me CRAZY!!   >:(

I have MACH3 (demo) version 3.042.029 installed with a HobbyCNC Pro board hooked to a Sherline 2000 CNC Mill. I also have LazyCam Pro V3.00.2. Here's the problem. I downloaded the LazyCam tutorial drawing (LCRO_HCIR.dxf) used in tutorial #1. After EXACTLY following the tutorial, I posted the G-code to MACH. It appears to run fine - except in minature! The entire machined piece is only about an inch long! This happened before with another drawing. I was meticulous in setting up MACH3 and LazyCam, but obviously I missed something ???. The are both set for "inches" . Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Rich,
Finally found where I read the "...disabled the parallel port to test code.." comment I mentioned earlier. It was on "THE HOME OF MACH3 AND LAZYCAM" page under LAZYCAM. I assumed (wrongly) it applied to LazyCam. It said.

"Licensing and Updating...

A license is only required on the computer(s) actually running the machine(s). If a computer not connected to a machine is used to test code, please use Mach3 in Simulation mode - it will remove the 500 line limit.  Simulation mode can be accessed by uninstalling (or not installing) the Parallel Port Driver."Although I was wrong in which application it applied, at least I know I'm not crazy!
Thanks!
Bob
