i want to improve my dust hood ,because i have many tool length  ,i want to calculator the hood position
and stop it while go down exactly on its correct position
i do it with l valve that have 2 electric solenoid on 2 side and 3 position ,so "1" on 2 side mean stop the cilynder
i also connect encoder to the hood guide to count its movement
but i do not know how make cycle in mach to activate output ,wait  until encoder reach position ,and when reach the
position activate the brake

thanks

« on: May 23, 2019, 06:47:30 AM »

i use mach4 for some month i install it in china on cnc for woodworking
last 2 day i download the last version and i saw some strange things

1  .i have many M function that i build and inside each there many function ,in each Mcode
     always i put one on headr====>>"local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()",and no need any more
     but this last version its not work ,i must put this statement on each function
2.  i know that mach take all m function in 1 file ,but i never had problem when i had 2 function with  same name
     on 2 different M function,last version its not work ,if same name function not work ,need make each function other
     name
3. the tool path display ,before we had option to control colors now only in screen editor ,and its not  work well
    even you change line thickness its not change
4. last point its opposite not complain but thanks mach team ,they change the CV tuning ,its just work vert good
    i can run  in very good acc dccl  like 2500mm2 in 15m/min and corner perfect
    it wasn't before
thanks
