VB and the development of wizards / vba and vb-differences
« on: May 28, 2019, 03:24:14 AM »
hello all ,
It is cold in Johannesburg at the moment must be at least 18 degrees with a midday high of 24 to 26. Brrrrrr
Concurrently with many other projects i am trying to learn VBA.
Mach scripts are written in VB.
are there many significant differences?
Like what does doOEMbutton(169) translate to in plain english
Best regards

General Mach Discussion / f 0.2 changes by itself?
« on: May 27, 2019, 11:06:04 AM »
Hello Chaps
Using a wizard and turning a 50 mm dia plastic rod with mach3 .
I use feedrate set to mm per rev
the roughing cut is set to f0.2 mm per rev, but it doesnt always start
at that feed rate? usually it starts at a feed rate of 0.02mm which is much
to slow.
but not only that
the finishing feed rate is set at f0.2mm as well . when the program get to
that block it often ( but not always) jumps to over 1mm per rev??
any suggestions ?
all advice is gratefully recieved.
someone said a work around will be to use feed per minute?
many thanks

Hello Chaps,
Mach3
this has happened to me at least twice in the last few months
when I switch the system on i find that one or both steppers have changed direction.
I dont know - maybe someone can throw some light on the subject.
We have been experiencing a lot of mains power outages.
In order to alleviate the situation I have installed a 60KW 3 phase  generator set .
could this have something to do with it? maybe phases mixed up?
any discussion will be welcomed
regards fred
