CS-Lab / Re: CSMIO/IP-A Mach4 lathe retrofit

I saw that they updated 3,205 plugins
have you tried it?
have solved the thread problems?
if I have time today I do tests.
what version of Mach4 do you use?

I sell first I ...
Mach3 users are still many.
in any case I still want to wait. after all, it's in their best interest to sort things out.
it takes a long time to build a reputation.
it takes little time to lose it.

then if it is as you say, cslab must be done.
because all the money we paid to buy their hardware was good from the first to the last penny!
and now we are the ones who demand functions perfectly.

5 years after the release of mach4, they still don't know if their plugins work ...
on some points I am still far behind.
I have warned them several times of the wrong thread with the use of the mechanical range ...
solutions ...
never even one !!

I repeat again:
in my case, with IP-S the thread executed in single cycle is perfect.
if you have to go over it again, you must inevitably discard the piece, because it ruins the previously created thread.
on this point, I think the cause is of Mach4 and not of CsLab.

since you are in contact to solve the problem, if they succeed in the thread (I doubt, give your evidence),
tell him to repeat the same empty cycle several times, because one of the main problems of the thread is that, if you repeat the cycle to reach the desired size, the previous thread is damaged or completely ruined.
but here I think it is Mach4's fault, and not Csmio.

I add another sore point to the thread.
if mechanical ranges are used, therefore with ratios, despite the correct compilation of the table in the spindle-related ratios, the wire pitches are totally wrong !!!

I have IP-S step/direction controller.

on some things I agree with @joeaverage, on others I don't.
I also had the impression that cslab has always shown little interest in Mach4, (my personal opinion) also because of the limited diffusion of the program.
on Hicon Integra I can't rate it because I never owned it.
on the SSE that I have on the pantograph, I tried Mach4.
on this point I have to score in favor of the cslab, compared to the SSE I find it clearly superior.
if with ESS you work on the progress slide while you work, it often gives bad shots to the axes, which with cslab does not happen at all.

I thought it was a failure of the spindle potentiometer

I deactivated Feed and I diverted the spindle signal to what was previously Feed (which has always worked well).
but problem persists.

therefore it must be a bug in the IP S plugin.
the programmed laps are similar to the real ones, with an asynchronous motor and VFD that I can't expect too much. they deviate by about 10 rpm.

with version 3.204 the spindle potentiometer no longer works.
do I have a fault or does it happen to you too?

5000 point encoders are too many, the signal is too small.
try then let us know.
