General Mach Discussion / Re: HOTKEY TO OUTPUT RELAY

« on: October 15, 2015, 11:16:23 AM »

I DID find a code somewhere that was for on and off but of course cant find it when you need it.Is it possible to have a code  input  4 on and then  a delay of around 5 seconds and then turn off  without pressing the button again??

Thanks   DAS

Thanks   TPS  The code works great turns it on and off  I also need a momentary contact.  do you have a code for that.

really appreciate the info  I can build a machine  but programming codes are beyond me.

Thanks  DAS

General Mach Discussion / HOTKEY TO OUTPUT RELAY

« on: October 13, 2015, 11:58:08 AM »

Hi all

I think this has been asked before but here goes again. I would like to set a hotkey to activate an output relay. I would like to replace or reuse one of the existing screen buttons re name it and have it activate an output relay only while the key or button is pushed. I have already done the button  in screen 4 now I need to know how to program it. I assume it needs a code installed in VB Script? That's where I am stuck. code output  active and output deactivate   where does the code go and how do find where I put it and make it work  my output pin.
I have a keyboard full of keys to use do not really want to install a bank of switches


HELP PLEASE  DAS

Hi  3 of the four drives are dead  I would like to use the stock 160 volt power supply   if I can.  No big deal to change it  to 80 volts I need to. (I figured what I save on the power supply can be put towards the drives

any recommendations on 160 volt 25 to 35 amp servo drives. looking to change over a Haas vf1 would like to use the original power supply if possible.

General Mach Discussion / Step direction to +- 10 volts

« on: August 09, 2015, 02:36:50 PM »

Hi all

I know this has been asked before on older posts.  Most of the links are now dead and there must be a  better product out by now
have servo amplifiers that have a +- 10 volt input. Need to convert a step direction  from mach mill to the +-10 Volt to operate the servo amps.
used Skyco pixies on another project long time ago  but they are long gone  now.
any ideas what is the best.

Thanks  DAS

Hi All

allready figured that out   my problem is that Bobcad    will not load a stl file and really do not want to go to another program.
 can stl be converted to something else?

yup

I am at the same point. Have all the points in a file. Can almost get it to resemble the part in Machcloud but can not get it any further. with all that is being done with probing you would think that someone would have a tutorial on how it's done.
This post alone has been visited over 2000 times maybe most of them are looking for the same answer. the only thing that I figure is it is not possible using the mach cloud program.  since it  is no longer supported by mach mill it may not work correctly.  There are several  high dollar point cloud conversion  software in the net I may bite the bullet and try one.
anyone know what one will work with the mach mill wizard.

Just my uneducated opinion, feel free to correct me.
