General Mach Discussion / Linear Encoders

« on: February 04, 2007, 09:55:30 PM »

Can someone provide a discussion as to the pros and cons of using linear rather than rotary encoders on a machine which will be using Mach?
I have an Italian machine which already has glass scale encoders and servos and would like to make use of them rather than having to special mount rotary encoders.
TIA.

Ran a simulation with it last night and the tool path did not display.

Would like to see a large "Feed Hold" button somewhat by itself.

From the standpoint of using a touchscree, I would like to see a large "FEED HOLD" button somewhat clear of all others.
Nice screen.

Did not get the "LED Animation" folder when unzipping. Tried downloading again but got the same results when unzipping.

Mach Version 1.84.001
File structure for Mach3:

Mach3 (folder)
Simple 3 axis1.0.set
   Bitmaps (folder)
     Touchscreen (folder)
     Backsplash.jpg
       Buttons (folder)
         2 State Buttons (folder)
      Buttons 2 (folder)
      Panel (folder)

Were you asking me to upload my touch screen set or was that for Beachbum?

Thanks for the help,

Claude

Touch screen bitmaps are in the correct folder. Anyone have any other ideas?

Tried to use your screens but could not get them to display properly. Appeared to display the basic background but the screen buttons did not show.
After unzipping, I copied the "Simple 3 Axis 1.0.set" file into the Mach3 folder and then copied the "Touch Scree" folder as a unit into the Mach3 Bitmap folder. Anything else I should have done?

Very, very nice screens. Any plans to add one for manual data input?
