If I remember right homing is a function of the ess not Mach. Have you configured it there? Leave a message on the warp9 forum, andybis good about answering.

General Mach Discussion / mpg troubles

« on: July 11, 2015, 09:23:43 PM »

I got everything working with axis selection but I don't get anything with moving the mpg.

cnc4pc c36 board
cnc4pc c32 board
ess
 
I download scotts mpg4_6 plugin and his test I/o, I have all the oem triggers at the right time for everything but nothing with the mpg. Now it is a old fanuc mpg, is it compatable with this system? Anyway to test it? I used the settings from cnc4pc and tried setting the mpg debounce at 1.0 in the ess settings, am I missing something?

Use the spindle not the a axis. Look for spindle in motor outputs and in spindle setup both under ports and pins.

I doubt very accurately. There has to be a couple thou variation in the switch especially if the speed varies.

I had a couple issues with the ess, but found that the forum on warp9's website got all my questions answered and issues (so far) resolved quickly.
