CS-Lab / Help needed please.
« Last post by Pugman1 on October 29, 2025, 04:48:41 PM »
I just purchased a milling machine that was in parts. The controller is the CS-LABS CSMIO/IP-S along with the expansion unit for the hand remote. However what I don’t understand is the need to the Geckodrive G540 unit. From the little I have read all the G540 controls is the E-stop. There is also a bit about having to download firmware for the g540 to function. Do I just download this the same as the firmware for the CSMIO/IP-S and or do I place the G540 firmware in the mach3 folder like you would the license.

Yes, it is just a matter of replacing the motion controller.  All the components remain the same. 

Note that you will have to change the configuration in the VFD to take the variable speed, as the richauto does not handle variable speed, but just a set of fixed speeds.

If you need a hand with this, you can open a ticket in our website and we will help you: https://www.cnc4pc.com/contact

Check out this wiring diagram for upgrading a Richauto to an Ethernet Smooth Stepper with a C25XP:https://www.cnc4pc.com/blog/post-4/upgrade-richauto-to-a-c25xp-66
Thanks, Arturo. That’s really helpful.
Quick question — can I reuse the existing stepper drivers with the ESS/C25XP setup, or do they need replacing?

The screen that you are referencing was supplied by AVID CNC's Plug and Play Setup system and is not part of the basic Mach4 software. You should address this issue with AVID CNC.

finally found where the issue is. in mach4 this is a default minimum speed and wont let you change it normally. here is a picture of that page. how would I modify this setting? seems like it shouldn't be this hard?

Thankyou very much.

Modbus / Need some help with the inital setup
« Last post by martin2day on October 26, 2025, 04:46:05 AM »
Hello,

i have some trouble with the inital setup of my modus setup.
I want to connect an Arduino Uno to my mach3 via modbus to instal some external periphery.
- the mist sprayer and the pump
- feed override and start/stop

In my fist setup I only want to switch the LED (PIN13) on the UNO on and off using M7 and M9.
I write the Arduino code:
Code: [Select]
#include <ModbusRtu.h>

#define LED1_PIN 13    // Ausgang 1 (z. B. Luft)
#define LED2_PIN 12    // Ausgang 2 (z. B. Flüssigkeit)

Modbus slave(1, Serial, 0);   // Slave-ID 1
uint16_t au16data[2];         // Zwei Register: 0 und 1

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED1_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED2_PIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(LED1_PIN, LOW);
  digitalWrite(LED2_PIN, LOW);

  Serial.begin(115200);
  slave.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  slave.poll(au16data, 2);   // 2 Register abfragen

  // LED 1 steuern
  digitalWrite(LED1_PIN, au16data[0] ? HIGH : LOW);
  // LED 2 steuern
  digitalWrite(LED2_PIN, au16data[1] ? HIGH : LOW);
}
I can test this with the Test Modbus.
If I read the holding register I get back an 0000. If I write 0001 to it, the LED goes on, if I write 0000 to the holding register the LED goes off.
The the UNO and the modbus is correct.

But now I can do what I want, I can not switch the LED on by M7.
I think there es some error, but I did not find it. Please help my.

My M7
Code: [Select]
SetModOutput(0, 1)
And the ModBusConfigration Screen
