General Mach Discussion / Re: Random Estops occuring

« on: April 16, 2010, 07:37:06 AM »

I had Estops in the past. I just placed 100nF capacitors to all my inputs (limits, homes, estop) and the problem was solved!

General Mach Discussion / Wrong move when executing macro.

« on: December 29, 2009, 03:04:30 AM »

Maybe the subject does not describe my problem correctly.
The problem is the following.
I have a program which includes a macro.
Is named M1001 and placed after the first G00, is to wait a few seconds and after that energize an output.
The macro is executed correctly.

This is the M1001:
code ("G0 Z0.00")
While ismoving()
wend
ActivateSignal(Output1)
SetUserLed (1001,1)
wait = GetUserDRO(1041)
code ("G4P" & wait)
While ismoving()
wend
SetUserLed (1001,0)
code ("G4 P0.2")
While ismoving()
wend


Now if under ActivateSignal(output1)
i place ActivateSignal(output2)
to have 2 separate outputs,although the screen shows the right path,
the machine does not follow the path.
Usually, if lets say we have rectangular, the shape is left open about 20mm before ending.
Or other times only one dimension (usually at Y axis) is not correct (10-30mm shorter).

Then, by removing the second activation from the macro,
it comes back to the proper path.

Have you seen this problem again?
Any ideas-comments would be helpful...

Looks quite good...

General Mach Discussion / Image LED on Mach3Screen.

When using "screen4", we can use bitmap LEDs by showing the bitmap path to the properties of the LED.
Where is that setting in Mach3Screen? I can't locate it...
Thanks,
Giannis

General Mach Discussion / Designing problem on Screen4.

« on: October 12, 2009, 04:16:19 AM »

Have you ever seen the following problem on Screen4?
Sometimes when saving the .set file and open it with mach3,
the whole screen has moved down usually about 100 pixels.
Sometimes more than the size of the screen!
Is that due to any mishandling of mine?
Or is that a bug?
Have you seen it?

Also, when designing a wizard, the bitmaps are not shown on screen4.
I have to move all files to mach3 folder to design it and then back to addons folder to see it with mach.
Any comments on this?

regards,
giannis
