General Mach Discussion / Re: Changing Spindle Speed

« on: September 08, 2018, 04:19:33 AM »

It has been a long time since I solved the problem.
I thought I'd share my solution with the forum.

I eliminated the need to use S commands.
I used one of Mach's 6 axis which I previously didn't use to sent pulses to an Arduino board.
The Arduino board then counts the pulses and outputs the right pwm signal which in turn goes to the inputs of my motor's inverter.

As per changing the feed rate, I can change that at every second line without much vibrations, it is like night and day compared to changing feed rate and spindle speed in the same line.
Might not be the most legit solution out there but it works for me.

Thank you Tweakie

Would adding a small delay after changing spindle speed do any good?
I don't mind the gcode execution to take a bit longer as long as it doesn't vibrate the way it is doing now.

As an example :
"
X### Z###
S### F### G4P0.1   
".

I might as well try it out, I generate my gcode myself with some vbs programs.
I can easily add a "G4P0.1" at the end of each of those lines mentioned above.

I'll post the results later.
Indirect solutions would be a big problem in my setup.

General Mach Discussion / Changing Spindle Speed

« on: July 10, 2018, 02:31:23 PM »

I am trying to change my spindle speed very often in my gcode (every second line) and that results in random feed accelerations and decelerations.
It seems as though the gcode execution almost stops at times.
When I look at the current line I often notice that it jumps to previous lines and then forward again.
What is going on?

Here is a code snippet :

( w gti)
#1001 = 178.29 (diametri i jashtëm)
#1002 = 65.4366 (diametri i mbrendshëm)
#1003 =  23.324 (x ZRef)
#1003 = -5.86 (z ZRef)
#1004 = 0.2 (rrezja e thikës)
#1005 =  0.1 (thellësia e prerjes)
