sour kraut, to make it easier for you to learn get Peter Smid book on macros, I am quite sure you can not use maros at all in Mach4

cut the circles realy slow like 5 in/min if it's still out run a Vcarve toolpath of 5 letters if this is out you have big problems or backlash

Try doing it with the feed and speed reduced for the circle have it at 15 in/min

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: A solution for more switches than inputs

« on: February 10, 2018, 02:45:53 AM »

To me this looks realy wrong

---------------------------------------------------------------
-- Signal Library
---------------------------------------------------------------
SigLib = {
[mc.OSIG_MACHINE_ENABLED] = function (state)
    machEnabled = state;
    ButtonEnable()
end,
[mc.ISIG_INPUT1] = function (state)
    if (state == 1) then
        Cycle()
     end
end,
[mc.ISIG_INPUT2] = function (state)
    if (state == 1) then
        Cycle()
    end
end,

its 2 inputs doing the same thing why not just have a cycle start and cycle stop then if they = one or the other do something else

PoKeys / Re: switching from 57E to 57CNC

It is possible in mach3 hossmachine had a pokeys as a io board and a c10 I think it was as his motion control, he moved to M4 and keeped it all the same. there's a few videos on his youtube chanell of his setup

It shows 4th axis stuff sometimes but the toolpath is way off.
