Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Ease-in and ease-out spindle on M3 and M5?

After I read your post I searched for parameters and found ADCRiseTime and ADCFallTime. Setting these to 500ms did the trick.

Thanks.

I forgot to mention that my control board is an M16D with PoKeys 57E.

Mach4 General Discussion / Ease-in and ease-out spindle on M3 and M5?

« on: September 12, 2021, 04:47:22 PM »

Hi,

My spindle motor is an AC servo and it is driven with 0-10v analog. Currently the servo does hard start on M3 and hard stop on M5. Is there a way to setup Mach4 to increase the analog signal from 0 to the desired speed like 500ms so it'll kinda soft start and vice versa?

Thanks

Hello @compewter_numerical,

I replicated this pendant. Works over USB but works well. One way of course.

How can I listen axis coordinates from Mach4 in Arduino Due?

I do coding but Arduino and Modbus is still very new to me.

Thanks.

Hi,

I need to copy the keyboard mapping from one computer to another. What is the location of this file?

Thanks

In the po-blocks software do you see the the input blocks switching on and off . I have the same setup and have found the line driver between the encoder and the M16 nu-reliable . I have had 3 burn up . Ill give you an example I was threading on Friday nice get up Sat morning and try to thread and nothing as soon as it hit the line with with the spindle speed the program stops . My spindle  still worked worked but would not run a program with threading then I noticed the spindle rpm was not displayed . I now keep several line drives around . Check your diagnostic screen .

Thank you
