Mach4 General Discussion / activate script on button from script

« on: September 14, 2021, 09:45:15 AM »

I would like to combine the scripts on several buttons on a screen into a separate single button without copying the scripts from those buttons.  How does one push a button to activate a script from another button on the screen from a script?  thanks

Mach4 General Discussion / homing Mach4

« on: July 17, 2021, 06:03:34 PM »

I have Pokeys57E with a CNC4PC multifunction board running Mach4 which was great when setup in 2018.
Something went funny with my single motor machine and I had to reinstall and configure everything.
Everything is working now except for homing.  It will home and hit the limit switch and reverse off the switch then reset position.
However I need the motor (A axis rotary) to move back to 0 position about 10 degrees.  When I originally set up the system, I believe I
put in the amount of steps to back off.  Now that option is not available.  Pokeys tech support says I should control homing etc
from Mach4 and not the Pokeys software.  I believe I originally controlled backlash and homing behavior from the Pokeys software.
At this point neither CNC4PC nor Pokeys have been responsive to my questions.  Is this a Pokeys or a CNC4PC or a Mach4 issue?

Thanks

PoKeys / ip address PokeysCNC57E

« on: April 23, 2021, 07:37:58 PM »

Need help with suggestion for ip address for PokeysCNC57E.

I had to change the battery and no the ip address is lost.  Not able to get help from Polabs with no response from them for some reason.  When I set up my machine in 2018, Posupport suggested an ip address range and if worked well.  Can anyone suggest what to try.  Thanks

Got it!  Two switches are wired but only 1 is mapped.

Mauri,

I switched out the 201x for a 203v and it does work better!
Thanks!

I will try it thanks!

I was wondering about the fractional vs integer step number.
