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.
Regards,
Giannis

To be honest I didn't like the method of the speed calculation.
Happens some time to reduce the cutting speed while cutting, for better cutting quality.
That means that the "hold" command will be always on...

If you can see the output6 doing what you want, then you can use it.
But where is your output6 mapped to?
I cannot find any related output for hold.

Yes this is how it works, freezes the Z.
It was successful.

But after so long i have changed the arc controller. The new one has a freezing option below 30V and works very good at the corners.
Check your arc controller, it may have this option ready.

General Mach Discussion / Pause button on 43.066 version...

« on: January 16, 2013, 12:35:30 PM »

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,

The new version still hasn't this option.
When you say new version you mean mach4?

But anyway mach had the way!

Modbus / Re: Wrong calculations!!!

« on: April 25, 2012, 05:06:45 PM »

Oops!!!
This last post of mine has wrong calculation on the CRC code (the last 2 bytes).
So, its not problem of mach3.

I am sorry for this!
[Well there is no any indication or screen that i can see modbus data there,
so its a bit complicated to calculate everything! - ( Did i save it?  )]

Modbus / Re: modbus settings...???

« on: April 25, 2012, 11:10:52 AM »

Now a new question about reading input registers.

Are the settings OK? (see attached)
I never see the Mod:0 P:1 working or changing va,ues on the DRO selected.

(This time i tried one address back!).

Also i am not sure if the code i am sending bacjk is correct.
          i receive hex: 01-03-00-01-00-01-5D-CA
and i send back hex: 01-03-02-00-1e-5D-CA

Can you help on that?
(thank you in advance!)
