HiCON Motion Controller / Re: MPG Hand-Wheel-Controller Best Recommendation for Hicon Integra

« on: May 30, 2019, 03:20:40 AM »

Code: [Select]

- Vital Systems Hicon Integra MPG06ED at around $400/$450 (I remember the postage and duty for my controller was very high for whatever reason)

IMHO your pedant is a clone of the MPG06ED

Code: [Select]

But here's a question ….
If you plug the Vital Systems Hand-Wheel into the Hicon Integra Controller, don't you then have to configure all the pin inputs in Mach4?
the configuration i posted in REPLY#7 is from Vital System Manual and recomended for MPG06ED and should also work for your pedant.

back to the Basic question.

if you have a look to this: http://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/VBScript_Commands.pdf
Manual you will see that VBA and cypress VB script are very simular.

in this Manual: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=2ahUKEwjC4uDXyr7iAhVb8aYKHdLyA6gQFjACegQIAxAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.strojirenstvi.cz%2Fdownload%2Ffile.php%3Fid%3D56730&usg=AOvVaw2suuC-ECkZF7kK6JRlQfjA

you will find all Mach3 specific functions. there are also examples for the most needed things in there.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mill or Turn?

« on: May 27, 2019, 03:11:49 PM »

Using my bench PSU at 10v it was giving 2965rpm one way and 2971rpm the other.

It was also creeping with the inputs shorted out.

I ran the auto zero speed set function which killed most of the creep.

Then adjusted the gain to 305rpm/V

It now gives 3000rpm forwards and backwards.

Did it fix the issue?

No

General Mach Discussion / Re: Rotary spindle encoder setup

« on: May 23, 2019, 07:21:16 AM »

found some german documantation witch says Encoder index pulse is connected to pin15.
but no Information wether port1 or port2.

you can try and error, just set up ports/Pins -> Inputs -> Index to pin15 and
when you turn spindle by Hand you should see something in diagnostic Screen from turn screenset.
