General Mach Discussion / Problem with pp port ?

« on: September 22, 2008, 01:47:40 PM »

Hello all,
           The problem i have is getting mach to output 0-5volts on pin14 to control the anolog speed control which is 0-10v.
            In ports & pins /spindle :-step pin 14, dir 8, port 1,
            In motor tuning/spindle :-steps per 1000 , velocity 1500, pulse 3.
            Spindle pullys:-Max speed set 1220 ,ratio 1:1
             
             With the command m3s1220 the voltage on pin 14 changes from  .08volts to .25volts. however if pin14 is setup as dir pin
             on either z or x the voltage swings from .08v to 4.4v .
             
             tried deleteing the xml,s and re-installing mach, but still no joy .
             
             help please,
                               rgds mick.

hello Simon,
                i have suffered the same problems after fitting the SS to a c11g bob.
after removing the SS the problems persist!.

all the bob i.c,s have been changed hoping to recover spindle control, but no joy!
removed SS plugin,no joy!
reinstalled Mach3,no joy!
looks like a seperate speed controler when my pension arrives.
                                                            regards Mick.

hello, Glen
              i had the same problem , it was cured by making the slot in the index disc wider.
                                                                        hope this helps,
                                                                                 mick.

Hello everyone,
                     i have been trying to write a little vb script ,but the tool number is not displayed,the gcode stops and waits
at M6 Txx for cyclestart.

                       using :   tool= getselectedtool()    allways shows zero.

This is not so in Mach3 mill.

HELP please.                           thanks
