About as cheap as I have seen for a simple 10 pos Quad encoder with switch.

What do you call pricey (;-) Do you need panel (has 2 nuts on the shaft to secure in a hole on the panel mount)  or surface mount (solders to a board no nuts)

MaxSpeed= (GetParam(VelocitiesA) *.50)

Speed= GetUserDro(*********)   'FeedrateDro

If Speed > MaxSpeed then

Message" Max Velocity exceeded resetting to Max Velocity "

Speed=Maxspeed

End IF


FRO can be done with a simple cheap rotary encoder with center switch. Tie it to an encoder input then mapp that to the FRO dro DRO.

Use the center switch on the encoder to reset FRO to 100%

Just a thought , (;-) TP

Just because you are logged in as ADMIN does not mean it recognises that IF you open a program. At least not in Vista. I am also single user as admin BUT I have to open MACH# as ADMIN for it to run correctly.

Put a pen or pencil in your spindle and draw the objects.

IF you are going to conquer Mach3 3d probing you may want to study up more on Sisyphus's ways and trickery. AND we have no idea how Mach4 is going to be yet.

Preheat is NORMALLY done in the G code side and is handled by the CAM package.

YOU really need to run the drawing test to eliminate lost steps during cutting. The test are not really equal the way you did them as the pocket test runs from inside out and has a LOT more cutting involved before you get to finish size.

In the drawing test run the first set of code and on the secound test cut only run the last set of perimeter code.

Looks like lost steps to me.

ALL tool comp work (G41/42) MUST have a proper leadin and leadout move to work properly.
