Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Rotary Axes in Radians vs Degrees?

i atach the parameter we use ,i suggest any any user of mach with cnc with rack& pinion try this
without this its almost cant do good job
you must make very very long acceleration and then cant do CV well ,cant simoltany 3 axis's together....
this parameter not good solution because you pass the system and have many situation hard to control
but without this.....for my opinion ....the machine its toy not machine

its our software ,its for the woodworking industry its first software that can very easy desighn and sell furniture

and one click all opration included 5 axis  will run
all machine only with mch4 we use absolute encoder  via rs485 but the communication with the rs485 done by external app not by mach
in this way we granty all axess act almost as close loop
we cheack position in some critical points (background)and we know our precision exactly
only bad point i told here many times that i cant solve its the s curve
for now we do it by the servo driver but this very bad solution but its the only we have
without s curve acceleration mean almost nothing ,you need do so bad acceleration almost i give up mach only because that
i hope some one in mach will take this  challenge ahead

Goomba
the ob motor comand from gcode? or only as action acording  event handler?
is there way to wait for ob motor finish position even its OB? from mach?
because i can also get signal from the driver as well

Mach4 General Discussion / Start timer from M function

« on: February 21, 2023, 07:26:02 PM »

i have several timers on mine mach screen
like run the grease pump,blink output light.... etc
some times i need activate one timer from other timer(like service that need for some second each.. several hours)
this all its work
but when itry to START the scr object from m function its not work
i try also the way to activate any input ....then this input rise event...
this can work but many many bugs because event not always timing as you want
especially when i work with 2 kind of command ,like button and pedal ,so bug become too much
