CS-Lab / [CSMIO-IP/S + MACH3] using an analogue output to control an external device
« on: November 25, 2020, 06:57:02 AM »
Hi all,
I am trying to control an external device using an analogue output from my CSMIO-IP/S to control an external device (Arduino).
I managed to configure the setup to output a voltage signal using a G-code adjusting spindle speed ('S####' command).
So, when I set different numbers after 'S' command, the output voltage changes.
But, the problem is whenever I change the voltage, the stepper motors controlling the main axes stop for a while. After adjusting the voltage, they run again.
I really need a smooth and continuous operation.
The current spindle setting is attached.
Any advice will be really appreciated.
Do you think I can solve the problem using a macro?
Best Regards,
Eric.
