General Mach Discussion / Re: Tool table T word

« on: February 18, 2020, 01:36:28 AM »

T0127 means
tool is in turret place 1
Offset is used from tool number 27 in tool table

T0227 means
tool is in turret place 2
Offset is used from tool number 27 in tool table

T0601 means
tool is in turret place 6
Offset is used from tool number 1 in tool table

and so on...

TXXYY
the XX part is used to know where to rotate the turret
the YY part is used to know the Offset data
because noramly you will have more the 8 Tools bus only 8 places in turret.

---Shouldn't the M3home go out if I disconnected the sensor altogether?

this is depending on your wiring and on the configuration of the Inputs.
maybe a lose/broken is your Problem, but knowing nothing about your
wiring/confiuration makes it hard to help.

without any knowledge about your wiring it is very hard to help, but there should be a enable Input on the Motor Driver.
you will have to follow the wiring of this Input witch is probably switched by a relay for all three Drivers.

just a thought, maybe i am thinking to easy.
why not turning the nozzles on/off by customized M call's

for example:

G1 X10 F100
M200 'turn nozzle 1 ON
G1 X20
M201 'turn nozzle 1 OFF

if you use attached Settings, it does not look so bad here (1920x1000 21" wide Screen)

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Mach3 Jog buttons not working when ran as script

IMHO you will not be able to do a XY jog via a Screen button (i do not know a way, but maybe there is a way).
i have attached a small´brain for a XY plus jog via Trigger of input1.

-copy it to your C:\mach3\brain Folder
-use Operator -> Brain control and enable the brain
-goto Config -> ports&pins -> Input Signals -> enable Input1 ->enable emulated -> assign a hotkey

and you will see, you can jog X/Y via the assigned hotkey

normaly DoOEMButton(307) DoOEMButton(309) should be excecuted and start the axis to jog.
make sure JogMode is on.

the Problem will be that a DoOEMButton(307) will start JogX-movement and a DoOEMButton(334) has to stop JogX.

a normal Screen button will only run the when the button is pressed and you have no controll when the button is released.

you can test your macro code in Operator -> VB Script Editor window and use the >|| button to test code line by line.
