General Mach Discussion / Programable buttons
« on: March 01, 2008, 02:20:11 PM »
I posted last time

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Have 3 machined running Mach 3 and they all do this.  When pressing an external start button My spindle comes on as it is suppose to, but some times I get a momentary output on output #1 It lasts for maybe .5 seconds. If I cycle the maching using the on screen start button it never dose this. I have try ed changing the pin# and the output #, ran shielded wire to my start button, and it still dose it. Here is my G code program it is very simple

G1 X -00.010 Y00.00000 Z00.00000 F030.0
M11 P1   ------> This is the output, it turn on at the same time as the spindle and stays on .5 seconds then shuts off and then turns back on

General Mach Discussion / My screen wont fit Help!!
« on: December 06, 2007, 03:52:56 PM »
This will be the third system using Mach3  :D,, This go around I decide to spend a littel $ and put in a touch screen,, it is a 12 inch Elo entvitive, works well I have all my drivers installed but Mach3 mill screen will not fit,, I try ed changing the resolution but the monitor will not except anything but 800X600 resolution.. One odd thing is that Mach3 plasma fits fine it is shrunk down, but mach3 mill screen wont.. Also I try ed downloading other screens, with machblue I was at least able to hit my reset button.

thanks for all

using Mach 3 to induction harden pins for Ford,, and it works awsome!!  I have setup external start, stop button using oem triggers.  the problem is when I press the stop button It stops the g code but leaves whatever outputs that have been turned on,, on,, I have looked through the oem tigger names and cant seem to find one that will shut all outputs off

Thank

General Mach Discussion / G4 comand? time delay how to use?
« on: June 04, 2007, 01:04:30 PM »
 

Thanks to anybody reading this post
The G4 comand is used to put in a time delay is your system but how do you designate or tell your program how long to pause for?

I aslo tryed calling it G04, Mach 3 didnt seem to care.

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Motors ramp up with each line of g code??
« on: May 17, 2007, 07:35:29 PM »
Hello,,
I have things up and running, all my hardware problems are solved, now all I need to do is learn how to program g codes.. It seems when your g code starts another line the motors will slow down and ramp up on evey line of g code. If I am already moving in X+ direction during a line of g code and in the next line I am still going in X+ direction is there a way to keep my speed in x+ direction??

Thanks to all
Josh

General Mach Discussion / External start button
« on: April 27, 2007, 03:05:43 PM »
Hello,,
I am slowly learning how to use Mach3,, I need to set up an external start button for the system I am building,, I have tried input 1, enable, on pin 12, active low, hotkey atl/r or 2162,, On the diagnostic screen I can seen my input opening and closing with my palm button, but my g code wont start?
 
I have also tried your OEM triggers
#1, enable, on pin 11, active low, went into config/ systemhotkeys and set OEM trigger to 0000,
Then close pin 11 to ground and my g code dose not start,,
 
My keyboard keys will operate mach3  as in alt/r  and alt/s to start and stop..
 
what am i doing wrong?
 
thanks
Josh Learman
 
ps. Building and Induction Heat treat scanner run off of stepper motors.
