Mach4 General Discussion / Error Message
« on: March 01, 2022, 03:46:16 PM »
Hi,
I am using a HiCON card and am currently having issues.
I get this error message and I am trying to find out the problem.
ERROR: Output Index in use by more than one axis. Check Axis Config.
Can anyone tell me if this Control Configuration "Aux. Positions requires changes to be added (see attached file).
Regards,
Mauri.

Hi,
Does anyone have the combination of Mach4 V4612 with 7766 HiCON and Huanyang Spindle Inverter.
I can get everything to function except Spindle Start.
S24000 starts the Inverter and sets it to do 24000RPM
But when the M03 processes the spindle it will not start.
All the other functions work as well as the X/Y/X/A 4 motors.
It will process a full engraving cut in the air with no Spindle start.
If anyone has theirs working please provide me with the functioning scripts so I can get mine to work.
Regards,
Mauri.

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4-X3-HiCON.m4prof

Steve, (smurph)
As requested the Mach4-X3-HiCON.m4prof is attached.

Steve, (smurf)
I am having an issue starting our spindle with the latest mach4 versions.
We purchased a new inverter but the same issue came up.
I use HiCON to run it.
We checked all the electricals on our controller and all is fine.
The 10V is being sent.
But the short is not happening.
We tested an older Mach4 version and it worked just fine (wasted purchase)
So the issues are with the newer version of Mach4 and or the Script changes are not working as they should.
Below is my signal script.
If you require the other script changes please advise.
Regards,
Mauri.

Mach4 General Discussion / FTP Server Access
« on: January 28, 2021, 01:51:23 PM »
Hi,
For a number of days the FTP Server no longer opens.
When I place the mouse over it, at the bottom it says the site is "ftp:\\ftp.machsupport.com", and when I click onto it, nothing pops up at the top of the webpage to launch it.
Is this server down?
I know that the server is not a secure server.
Regards,
Mauri.

Hi,
What does "Current tool -- Selected toll so there is nothing to do" mean?

Hi,
Using recent DEV versions of Mach4 I get this message showing at the bottom "Current Z Minimum to 0.0000 based on Parameter 1801" when running some code in Sym.
What does this mean?

Mach4 General Discussion / No Official Update since August 2019 ?????
« on: September 20, 2020, 05:38:36 PM »
Hi,
We are all wondering and have been very patient as to when we will have an official working Mach 4 Program.
Steve is working very hard with fixing issues and adding development updates, but no one else at Mach4 seems to care about testing and releasing a new official program.
The Mach 4 V4300 released version in August 2019 as everyone knows has many issues and no one I am sure is using it.
Please do some testing and release a working solution so we can also do some CNC machining with confidence.
I am sure vehicle manufactures do not let the public do the testing before they release s a new one.
Regards,
Mauri.

Hi,
The Mach4 V4300 has been on the Production status since August 2019.
The program has a number of issues.
V4322 Fixes these issue.
We are now at V4498 that has many more issues fixed and improvements made over the V4300 version.
I cannot see how anyone would use V4300 especially if cutting 4 axis models on a rotary axis.
I would like to know when we will all get a new release with no issues so we can do some machining with confidence.
Regards,
Mauri.
