dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: Output Issue
« on: June 26, 2011, 03:34:09 PM »

Thanks Rufi,

I don't want finer control. I want the output to change state and remain there, rather than toggle. Perhaps I don't understand how outputs work. I put this line in the Mach3 VB script for the button:

ActivateSignal(OutPutx) - where x is the number of the output. I see the output toggle Low-high-low. I just want it to go from low to high and remain there until I hit a different button that sends  DeActiveSignal(OutPutx). What do I need to do?

I get the same results. When in the VB window, I press the play button using your ActivateSignal(OutPut1) statement. The output still pulses for about 100ms rather than stay in the ON state. This is going to a DSPMC that emulates the Mach3 outputs, so maybe this is a DSPMC issue. I'll post there.

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Output Issue
« on: June 26, 2011, 12:25:04 PM »

I posted a similar thread in the general forum. But now I'm wondering if this is a DSPMC issue.

I have 4 buttons defined for outputs. I have VB code written (thanks Hood) to control the output. I execute the script. The output toggles High-Low-High for  about 100ms. It does not stay in the low state as desired. Any ideas why it is doing this?

Output 3, Mach3 port 1-6, DSPMC J4-17
Output 4, Mach3 port 1-1, DSPMC J4-2
Output 5, Mach3 port 1-0, DSPMC J4-14
Output 6, Mach3 port 1-4, DSPMC J4-16

Thank you Hood. I'll give that a go.

I used Machscreen to make some buttons to control outputs. I assigned the functions Flood ON, Flood OFF, Mist ON, Mist OFF, Output 5 ON, Output 5 Off  to the buttons. All of the 'ON' buttons cause the outputs to make a 100ms pulse, rather than change state from high-to-low or low-to-high. Why is that and how do I get the buttons to change the state of the output until I hit an 'OFF' button?

I doubt this is a Machscreen issue, so I posted here.

Yes, the glass scales. I should have said that instead of encoder. Thanks for walking me through this.

Ok, encoder is now being displayed on the Mach3 screen, but it is off  by about a factor of 12. Where do I set the encoder count/inch? I don't find it anywhere.

Thanks Mike. I'm just having this problem today and that fixed it for me. Now the encoder is finally reading out on Mach3. Baby steps.

One more question - I do or don't enable the Encoder1,2,3 on the Encoder/MPG tab? I assume I enable them as needed, but ignore the pin assignments.

So I don't do anything on the Encoder/MPG tab.  Ok, thanks again Mike.
