Mach4 Videos / Re: ☆ I Need a way to contol two Axis movement with a joystick ☆

« on: October 12, 2017, 12:32:58 AM »

The gyro is a  Amusement type of ride. I would like to power both the outer and inner rings with servos run through reductions. The one pictured Is the four seater version, but this one will be a single seater. We are trying to use it for research. I was only thinking of using Mach 4 because I have done several cnc projects with it on cnc machines, and I am A machinist.  A plc would be great except my plc experience is limited. If you are telling me that the joystick motion can be "mapped" stored, and replayed, then that sounds like the way to go. I have plenty of details but that's the general idea.

I am building a two Axis gyro and want to run it with a joystick using Mach 4. I Need a way to record that motion, and Save/Replay that motion. I am willing to pay someone to have/help getting this done. Thanks

Hello, I am building a servo controlled gyro and would like to be able the use a two Axis joystick to control it using mach 4. I need it to work in a velocity type of fashion, where the more you move the joystick, that faster it goes.
I would also like to have a teach function like mach 3 had. So basically, I need to control motion with a  joystick and be able to replay the motion back. I will put the teach function on another post though. I am willing to pay someone to help with this. Thanks

Mach4 General Discussion / Unknown word where unary operation could be

   I have run this short program hundreds of times over the years and have never got this message. I use onecnc with the mach 3 post. The program starts and makes its first move and then stops with this message  "unknown word where unary operation could be". what am i missing??/

Found and changed the screen size, much better. You are wise beyond your years, Thanks

also, how does it compensate for the probe tip travel? Or.... does it use the calibration from the probe screen?

Mach4 General Discussion / Touch ui screen load size

« on: January 18, 2017, 03:21:16 PM »

Hoping a brother can help me out on this. When I load the touch UI, the size is too small and you cant see all of the icons. Every time i use it, i have to resize it larger. I use a touch screen so this is kind of a pain. Just throwing this out there but the only thing the touch module is missing is a fast find feedrate followed by the measure feedrate. Other than that, it is the bomb!
