Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Auto Tool Setter Offsets
« on: December 01, 2022, 02:38:55 AM »
sorry, but in my opinion there really is a tool change management problem.
the only really correct procedure is to measure the height of the hollow spindle nose (as zero tool).
then subsequently based on each tool that will be mounted, Mach4 will have to make a difference in height, using the G43 H....
I use this system on the Rosetta controller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agODOhWnJjs&t=449s
 It works perfectly! I would like to do the same thing with Mach4!

Okay, thanks everyone!
I'll get myself a Pokeys, so I can finally use Mach4 on the pantograph!
I use Rosetta on my 5 axis CNC and am very happy with it! (choice for RTCP function)
I'm sure Mach4 on the pantograph won't be outdone too!
P.S.- I opened a post about auto tool zero with Mach4.      https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=46775.0
Would you be so kind as to give me some information about it?
    thank you!

I try to formulate the question differently.
What do you use for Auto Tool Zero?
1-let's say the classic method is to measure the current tool, and then make the difference with the next one.
this method is the simplest, but in case of tool breakage the piece zero is lost.
2-in my opinion the best thing is to use the spindle nose (empty) as a fixed reference.
each subsequent tool will refer to it and G43 H will be used....
Is there already a macro similar to point 2?

Hello,
speaking of response times via the Pokeys, I want to clarify that even with the CsLab the analog controls are not immediate, they always have a slight delay (I'm talking about a few tenths of a second, noticeable especially during movements in G0, almost immediate during work movements G1 etc etc) despite being connected directly to the controller.
Let's get to the point:
before buying a Pokey I wanted to try the SmartASD that I have in my drawer... it would practically do the same function as the Pokeys.
the doubt remains.
1-How do I tell Mach4 that I want to use analog control for red and pink boxed controls?
2-how do you assign the keys of the PC keyboard in Mach4 to the functions with the yellow box?

15
you were very clear!
the pc is new again, medium / high range, I don't think it has any problems.
I have other questions to ask.. then I'll post some photos to make me understand better.

16
thanks for the information.
I got the feeling of what you just told me.
you gave me confirmation.
Can you explain to me what Plugin Frequency is for in the ESS?
by default it is set to 40...
I tried entering 100 out of curiosity.
I haven't noticed a difference.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Motion Problem
« on: November 27, 2022, 02:48:35 AM »
where was error?

18
i just looked....
of course I'll have to add an ethernet port to the PC, but that's not a problem.
I assume it will have its own plugin.
How can I then specify to Mach4 which steering unit is the ESS, while for signals it must use the Pokeys57E??

19
OK thanks!
I'm looking for information on Pokey

Mach4 General Discussion / First tests with Smooth Stepper and Mach4 2.500
« on: November 26, 2022, 04:18:11 PM »
Today I started testing new version of Mach4.
They are doing a great job, it is constantly evolving!
I go to the point.
Is it possible with the smooth stepper ethernet to use potentiometers or similar to control the feed?
is it possible to connect a MPG for axis movement?
thank you!
