I got it fixed bad setting just started again got to +/- 0.02 mm

if you have a licencee`s that should not happen there might be a limit to what can be connected in demo your problem is simaler to the problem I had  if you have a licencee`s only the CNC god`s will know

Mach4 General Discussion / ESS problem

« on: April 28, 2015, 02:12:58 AM »

I have run into a problem where the ESS trips the steeper driver, bob into a fault and lock`s up M4.

I have tried restarts, hard and soft double check that everything is correct it is then if I go back to M3 I have to re install the ESS plugin to get it working again it does and runs fine then I go back to M4 and it happens again or the X and Z axis move then when I try to move Y it trips to a fault again it may do it a couple of times then just lock up..

the axis are set all correctly the Y has B slaved to it, A is for a 4th axis it turned off unless i am using it.

no I have not got the M4 licences yet I have to prove it better than M3 to get it.

I know there`s only 3 axis allowed for testing and that it is time limited.

the computer can run M4 I was using it with Darwin

so it`s something to do with the ESS or is that I have 4 axis running 3 + slave

try set the speeds x2 of what they are meant to be with Darwin to get 10000 rpm I had to have set to 100000 to get 10000 rpm also remove M3, M4, M5 for some reason they can muck up the spindle control.

« on: April 23, 2015, 09:21:01 PM »

you can use a macro b to do probeing

Code: [Select]

G49 (Cancel TLO)

G58 (Switch to work offset G58)

G0 X0 Y0 (move the tool over the toolsetter)

G31 Z-10 F150 (probe tool down till it touches the toolsetter)

G10 L1 P1 Z#2002 (set the tool length offset value to the G58 Z position where the probe tripped)

G0 Z5 (move up to safe distance)

G54 (reapply old work offset coordinate system)

G43 H1 (apply new TLO for tool 1)
I have run it 10 times in a row and it worked fine for me.

use it at your own risk

a lua code would be better but I cant get it to work hopefully brain will relies a tool high lua code
