General Mach Discussion / Soft limits info please...

« on: February 17, 2014, 04:45:10 AM »

Having just got my hand jog wheel working nicely (thanks Hood) I have uncovered an issue that i need help with

The first cycle runs perfectly - jog to position, reset origin, run code.

this however leaves the z-axis at zero work co-ords but -50 machine co-ords.

the next time i issue a start cycle i get soft limit warning on Z axis as i am trying to probe to -65mm from machine zero but it obviously wont let me as that would be way beyond machine z limit max.

is there a way round this?

Ignore that last post, the jog speed on the screen pullout had jumped from 10 to 100, stuck it back down and we're all good to go.


Many thanks for the fix, I am most impressed with the support.

BTW what was the change ?

Brilliant, that zero's just how i expected it to.

However, between that update and the previous one, something has altered the jog wheel, it now whizzes the axes up and down at super-rapid speed???

That WAS the file I downloaded.

All I did was turn macropump on in config, turn on modbus support, put the file in the plasma macro directory and it started working, but not quite right.

Yes, pressing origin just operates the to-go button in mach.

I have emailed the guy but will likely end up returning it through lack of support.

This was the exact file I used, the device came with nothing so I did a google, came up with that link and downloaded it.

I seem to have lost the modify post button, anyway the file in the link above is the macropump.m1s file I used.

It's here...

I presumed they were all the same, but looking inside it maybe it can be fixed if you know what it all means
