General Mach Discussion / Angle of rotation and reverse run problem...

« on: March 06, 2014, 05:45:00 AM »

Hi!
I face a problem, if you have seen it, please advice:

When angle of rotation (standard DRO 118) has any value,
when i hit "reverse run" to follow the path backwards (under G40),
the machine goes somewhere else (probably follows different angle).
I didnt have this problem until now, might be any settings or something?

Versions 3.043.066 and 067 have been tried.

PoKeys / Pokeys57E and VBscript button

« on: September 09, 2013, 09:09:27 AM »

How can i hit a button on mach3 that contains some VBscript,
by using Pokeys Ethernet (hardware button connected on input pin).

I had done it with USB Pokeys in the past by key mapping.
But as i can see there is no key mapping on ethernet Pokeys.
Am i right?

Send me some ideas pls.

Have you noticed any problem on the 066 version with pause button (on plasma screen)?
When I hit pause the program pauses at the end of the line, never pauses in the middle.
Any ideas would help...
Thank you in advance,

Modbus / modbus settings...???

« on: April 23, 2012, 01:33:34 PM »

I have made a slave device with an AVR uC.
By using ComTestPro http://www.baseblock.com/PRODUCTS/demosoftware.htm
i can enable and disable an output.

Now the question is how will i configure the mach3 to work with it.

What i have done until now is:
   Config-> Port&Pins-> Checked "Modbus Input" & Plugin (1)

   Function CFGs-> SetupSerial Modbus-> see attachment (2)

   I have made a brain that reads a user LED and sends the status to modbus (3)

In any way or settings i cant change the status of the output.
(While i am receiving modbus commands for staying OFF.

Do i miss anything?
I need help....

VB and the development of wizards / Actual position when i hit pause.

« on: November 04, 2011, 03:22:34 PM »

How can i record the exact position on X & Y axis when i hit pause?

When the machine is running and i hit pause, it takes some time until the machine deccelerates and stops.
So, i want to record the exact position and current line and move automaticaly back to this position.

Does GetVar(2000) or GetParam(XDRO) have to do anything with that?

Any ideas please...

VB and the development of wizards / Very big .set file. Any problem...?

« on: July 17, 2011, 07:35:11 AM »

I have made a very big .set file (1.5MB).
I can see that it needs more time to start Mach3 (~6sec instead of 1-2sec), but after that the functionality is good and quickly (as it was allways).

Have you worked in such big files?
Do you think there is going to be any problem on this?
Will Mach crash or give any watchdog timeout (or anything else)?
Should i fear of something or not?
