« on: December 21, 2006, 02:10:00 PM »

Hello,
Is there a code I could put in my g code that resets feed rate override? I would like to add it to the begining of my programs, I broke a cutter today when starting a program and having 300%FRO!
Stupid mistake

Can It be done optionally when feed hold is pressed?
that way you can turn it off when using a t-slot, dovetail or keyhole cutter.

Brian,
Ive tried adding some vb code but cant make it work. We had already talked about it in another thread (http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=918.0)
I just thought you might have gotten to adding this feature.

That is a great suggestion. And while were at it, how about the option of turning off outputs, and turning them back on on cycle start.

Hey!
As long as we are requesting stuff. How are we doing with eliminating buffered commands. I tried doing an operator interphase, that had a bunch of buttons, and the operator just placed the workpiece, and pressed a button for the part he was machining. It worked fine, except that when he accidentally pressed a button twice, or pressed another button while the machine was working, at the end of the first operation, the machine imediately continued with the second. Tried all sorts of workarounds and just couldnt do it.

General Mach Discussion / Re: CONTOUR PROBLEM! Machine takes shortcuts on corners !

Baran,
From past experience, all buttons in mach work. But in the default mach screen, i beleive there is no CV button, its just a LED.
I mught be mistaken, but if there is and you press it on, and you have a G61 on your code, it will over ride it, and vise versa.

So were your problems fixed by turning CV off? Did you machine handle the shaking well? what about cutting speed?

There is a program inside the mach folder called Screen4, give that a try. If you dont have it, you can download it from the downloads section on this website
You will be able to see the videos if you have a flash viewer of some sort.
