PoKeys / Re: Pokeys analog input & Feed Rate DRO

« on: September 05, 2014, 10:22:02 PM »

I tried to get it with a brain with no success. Look like it will not work with a brain.
Anyway, it will using the macropump.
No guarantee at all and at your own risk!
Map the analog input to a userdro instead of dro 821 ( FRO)
I used DRO1998.
check " use macropump " in general config.
content of macropump:

a = GetOemDro(1998)
If GetOemDro(1998) < 97 Or GetOemDro(1998) > 103 then
SetOemDro(821,a)
else
SetOemDro(821,100)
End If
If GetOemDro(1998) < 3  then
SetOemDro(821,0)
End If
End

Hi,
when you use the current plugin you doent need a brain. Easy to setup.
Whitch kind of Pokeys do you use? 55 or 56 ?

Modbus / Re: Arduino ModBus and Mach3 for tool turret changer

Hi Constantine,
in General Config check " auto tool changer "
In your profile macros folder you will find the toolchange macro called M6Start.m1s you need to edit it.
location normally is "  C\Mach3\ macros\Mach3Turn\ M6Start.m1s"   for lathe.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Sharing Mach 3 between two machines

Hi Nick,
if you want a new claen setup you can click " create profile " at  Mach startup and choose a name for the new profile
If the setup you need is similar to the existing profile, you can copy that by copying the XML file.
You find the xml configuration file in the Mach3 folder eg.  Mach3Mill.xml to Mach3Mill_1.xml
Next time you open Mach you see the new Profile witch you can use for the new setup.
hope that helps.

Hallo Mattihas,
am einfachsten geht wohl...

Das läuft dann ewig oder bis man die Taste "Optional Stop M01" drückt.

PoKeys / Re: Pokeys on board power supply

I understand now  what you are trying, but as far as I know this will not work because the Block Delete function is a toggeling function within Mach3.
Or in other words it can't be forced to stay on or off.

Just tried with a momentary switch and it is working fine here.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle speed crossover eliminating

I do not know exactly but I think the glitch lies in  the last mach3 versions when using G96.
I have seen this in the past. ( PWM controlled spindle USB SS ) Try using G97.
