General Mach Discussion / Re: G Code help - use spiral to cut a slot

« on: August 22, 2013, 06:54:38 PM »

Well that is one to do it, Just glad I do not have to program it in an arc.

Is there a reason for the complexity over straight line moves and an arc at the end ?

Just curious, (;-) TP

General Mach Discussion / Re: How to manually set Current Position, Machine Coord, and Work Offset to zero.

You CAN reset the Machine Cords  to ZERO from a button press or Mcode.  EVEN IF you have homes or NOT.

OOPS I see yall figured that out, (;-)

The probe CAN be emulated but not in 64 bit mode the lpt driver has to be running.

I'll do some more research on the problem.

Reloaded the old plugin and it works fine when I use a macro pump to drive the function.

General Mach Discussion / Re: MDI-ing work offset

« on: August 21, 2013, 05:36:08 PM »

As a referrence it works fine here

IF I am in another Fixture offset say G55 and I want to move back to G54 and be at X0Y0 then
G54 G0 X0 Y0 G90 G20    Reset the Fixture offset to G54 then Moves to the X0Y0 position

IF I am in the same Fixture OFFSET say G54 then want to move to X0Y0 then you can do the same call BUT all you  need to do is
 G0 X0 Y0 AND G54 G90 G20 G0 X0 Y0 will work but is a lot of longhand (;-)

NOW that is with the LPT driver running, A motion card MAY be different depending on the plugin.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

Scott IF you want to test the functions THERE you can emulate the Probe signal. You just have to have the LPT driver loaded for it to work.

You do not need a probe or even a machine running.

Just a thought, (;-) Tp

HIYA SCott, the plugin does not work. It also messes with the MDI causing it NOT to be useable.

I would like to help BUT I do not have a clue as to what you are trying to do. Can you draw a picture of what you need to do?

I do have a working PROTECTED MOVE mode now. IF you are not in G31 mode(probing) and the probe tip HITs an object Mach3 will STOP to protect the probe tip from damage.

This works with jogging as well.

Thanks TO Scott, (;-) TP
