General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Controller Card Breakout Interface Board

« on: October 30, 2014, 12:17:03 PM »

Hej,

I bought USB Controller Card

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Axis-USB-Controller-Card-400KHz-CNC-MACH3-Breakout-Interface-Board-Win7-8-XP-/261395836685?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Automation_Control_ET&hash=item3cdc67ef0d

I have problem with wireing this up. There is no Enable joints (just DIR and STEP)unlike my stepper motor driver. I read manual but I didn't find explanation why is that. Could soneone tell me how to make it work.

Respect

General Mach Discussion / manual tool zero

« on: October 12, 2014, 08:31:47 AM »

Hello,

I have macro M6End for manual tool changing and zeroing:


dim tool
z=25

Xtcp= GetUserDro (1200)
Ytcp= GetUserDro (1201)
Ztcp= GetUserDro (1202)
Feed= GetDRO(18)

Code"G53 Z"&Ztcp
While IsMoving
Wend
Code"G53 Y"&Ytcp & "x"&Xtcp

Code "G31 Z" & z-100 & "f100"
While IsMoving()
Wend
Z = GetVar( 2002 )
Code "G0"
Code "G53 Z0"
While IsMoving()
Wend
call SetOEMDRO(42,z-2)
Tool = GetDRO( 24 )
Code "G43 H"&Tool
Code "G53 z0"
While IsMoving()
Wend


but I don't know why is that after tools change I have different Z positions of tools.
When my program execute code G54 Z0 afer tools change Z axis is not on the top of my material as a planed. (G54 set on top of my material)

Best Regards
