CS-Lab / Re: [CSMIO-IP/S + MACH3] using an analogue output to control an external device

« on: December 02, 2020, 09:01:24 AM »

hello Eric,

here: https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=9312.0

is a oemdro list.

correct code would be:

Code: [Select]

SetModOutput(81,GetOemDro(804)*4.095)

UserDro's are for free usage.

what do you mean with the full scale of the B-axis range?

Hello Eric,

will have a look this afternoon at my machine.
i have used a analog Output there.
let you know.

Regards Tom

you can write a custom macro for this for example M400.M1s

and in Gcode it is yust called be using M400

you can use macropump macro to do this.

GetDro(5) is the right value for B-axis.
have you enabled macropump macro in General cofig?

if you want to run W10 you have to look for a external Motion Controller, i simple BOB for PP will not work.

simple answer: no

every macro call will Interrupt continious movement. so only Chance is to to call the teh macro
when your bit it not cutting material.

-in your Special case (MaxNC controler board) the PIC is reading and handling the encorder, and only the PIC,
Mach3 knows nothing about this Encoder.

-in a good tuned stepper System it is normaly not necessary to use encoder's

-anyhow there there are stepper Motor drivers on the market witch can handle Encoders. then they are
closed Loop. Leadshine is only one example:
http://www.leadshine.com/ProductSubType.aspx?type=products&category=closed-loop-steppers&producttype=closed-loop-stepper-drives&subtype=general-closed-loop-stepper-drives

but also here, only the stepper drives reads/handles the Encoder, not Mach3

if you put the code in a custom macro like M100, it Needs to be called in G-Code every time you want to Change
the analog Output, and Motion will stop on every macro call.

that is why i was talking about macropump macro, this is a macro witch is running in Background, and it will
read the B-Axis Position every 10ms and write the analog Output, and because it is running in Background,
it will not pause Motion.
