Mach4 General Discussion / lathe speed range in Mach4

« on: December 05, 2018, 02:26:09 AM »

I have a lathe with a mechanical gearbox.
in Mach4 I saw a table where you can configure the speed ranges.
example.
how can I tell Mach4 that I am in the 4 range ??
as a result, at command M3 S100 analog output for VFD must be 10 volts.
thank you.

Hi,
Can you give me a clue where to look for this thread?
why does the "search" function no longer work?

tried on the computer at home and it works!
I try it on the lathe as soon as possible.

Is it possible to switch on or off with an external button?

Thank you for your great patience!

I do not understand where you enter your string.


local Coolant = mc.mcSignalGetHandle (inst, mc.OSIG_COOLANT)
mc.mcSignalSetState (Coolant, 0)


in the RESET functions what should I write?
I attach image

Hi,
Where should I enter this string?
also I would like to add to the RESET button stop coolant, how do you do it?
Mach4 is too complex to configure for many people.

I noticed that the M8 function is deactivated only with M9 or the corresponding screen button.
Both the RESET and ENAMLE buttons do not affect the status.
Is it normal or BUG of Mach4?
Is it possible to assign an external button?

Mach4 General Discussion / Migrate A.T.Z. functions from Mach3 and Mach4, is it possible?

« on: November 14, 2018, 05:35:10 PM »

Hello
I would like to try Mach4 on the Mill.
But I need A.T.Z. to update zero piece with new tool length.
my question :
  is it possible to migrate these functions from Mach3 to Mach4?
1 and 2 Red are the scripts
3 Blue color, led probe contact.
4 color Pink, DRO

I attach Mach3 scripts, images and screens.

thank you.
