CVI MachStdMill (MSM) / Re: How to Enable RPM in MachStd Mill
« on: September 19, 2010, 09:22:09 PM »
Hi Osker,

Would you clarify for me what you mean by the "RPM button"?

The spindle controls in MSM are labeled "CW" for clockwise spindle rotation, "CCW" for counter clockwise rotation, and "Off" for stop spindle.
These controls may be found on the run page and the fly out page.

There is a RPM DRO on the run page - but it is not a button that can be clicked. So I don't think you mean that control as you said the "button turns green" and the DRO label can't do that.

BTW - Mach only shows RPM if the spindle is running.

Given that you said you used the ports & pins auto config facility, your P&P mappings may have changed as a result.
Are you sure you have the index signal on the port & pin that mach thinks is the index input?

Calum -

could you tell me
1) when you are setting Z0 via probing, is this in MT mode or non-MT mode?
2) if MT mode, then is MT # = Probe T # when Z0 is set?
3) What is the diameter of the probe tool in the tool table?

Mick,
Thanks for letting me know you found the problem.
That wraps up both of the G73/G83 related problems as solved (at least from an MSM viewpoint).  :)

I'll forward the info about editing the Q word to Brian. My guess is that he'll add it to the V4 list as he's trying to concentrate on that over V3.

he he,
I think you have discovered Brian's secret - I'm convinced there's something that goes into the software that hooks one into "I'm sure I can lick this, if I just try this one more thing....".   ;D

Tom,
I summarized what your text said into this table - did I get it correct?

                       ---------------- MSM -----------------             ---------------- 1024 -----------------      
mach ver              SS 15ogx2   SS 16bd   PP                       SS 15ogx2   SS 16bd       PP
                     
dev rev 3.43.22         bad             bad         Good                       bad                     bad               Good
                     
lock down 3.42.40    n/a             n/a          n/a                      not tested          not tested       not tested

If this table is accurate, it seems to indicate a Mach/SS issue.  (whew!   :D )
We don't know if it is an issue with the lock down or only the dev rev.
I'd guess dev rev - as if peck drilling didn't work on SS with lock down, I'd think that would have surfaced before this.

Given that the issue happens with mach/1024/ss, earler dev revs can be tested (using 1024).
If you have the time (you're already done lots to isolate this down - thanks for that BTW), could you try it with 3.43.6/1024/SS 150ogx (as that was the first public dev rev with all the new APIs etc)?

In any case, since it feels like a sync issue between mach and the SS, I think it's going to be up to Brian & Greg to peer under the hoods to see what they can find.

Tom,
Was the latest round of testing you did all with mach 3.43.22?
(I think so, but I want to confirm)

OK, it's not the DRO bug then -

From the unsolved mystery list:
A couple of times over the last year I've had an issue with cross coupled axis movements like you describe. This has been with both 3.42.40 lock down and the later 3.43.x series. I've never been able to pin down a way to reproduce it at will, and I've never been able to show it to Brian.  When it happened, the XML I thought had the problem would not cause the problem on a different PC.
In the course of trying to find the bug, I did learn that building a new mach XML from scratch has always made it go away (at least for me)- but I have no idea why.

FYI - I've sent a beta 11 off to get posted. The only change it has is the fix for the A axis DRO on the run-path page.

Beta 11 is on the way to the server - it has the fix for this in it.

CVI MachStdMill (MSM) / MachStdMill Beta 11 releases
« on: September 16, 2010, 11:17:44 AM »
I've sent Beta 11 for posting.

It only has one change from beta 10:
Fixed: run path screen - A axis dro was showing Z coords for v3 10x7 set file
