General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle at speed signal

Create a brain to monitor true spindle speed vs programmed speed. then trun on an led when it is within a span.Then monitor the led from a macropump.

Seems we did this a while back. HUM??

OK add on the J 0.000   Mach is trying to justify the absence of the reference point when rotated.

Mach does NOT need the reference without it being rotated that is why it cuts ok when NOT rotated.

BUG ?  Quirk ??  More quirk than bug.

OK testing shows this work fine. So lets take apart your code and see where it fails.

G68 A0 B2 R180
G0 x0 y0 z1
G1 Z0
G2 x0 y0 Z-1 I.5 J0
G2 x0 y0 Z-2 I.5 J0
G2 x0 y0 Z-3 I.5J0

G0 X0 Y0 Z0

Instead of full circle arcs try it with half circle arcs

I guess the first question IS what com protocol does your THC unit use to communicate.

I can confirm that .  Cuts a large circle then does a small circle at the start point then another correct circle and another small circle.

Just a thought, looking at other THC they used the serial port BUT it seems to be a hybrid protocal that is done through a PLUGIN.

Well the problem with a standard IS there are so many of them(;-).

It sounds as though the modbus is what you are needing as it is available ALL the time.

Many have used the Modbus to drive PLCs so it does work

Just a thought, (;-) TP

You say that SOME things work. I woulld look at the setup info in mach and write down the pins used for the things that work. That should leave a short list of avalable pins to use for the spindle relays.

WIN98 MAY be a problem the MINIMUM spec is W2000.
