Oh sorry dude, the machine is not finished yet.

I got a bit more done on the housing today:





I'm not sure if you've see the control panel with the buttons mounted?



Thanks for looking.

Call me daft but can someone help me figure out where to change the spindle number in mach3 turn, it seems to be fixed at  pulley number 1?
Also I'm after an OEM code for Spindle CW toggle? (the equivalent of 173) im trying to rig up a manual forward and reverse switch.

thx

It's under the top menu Config->Spindle Pulleys 

Cheers,

Peter

Yeah thats to configure them,but how to select during operation?
In mill you just punch in what gear your in on that page, turn wont let me do that, i, running silver/blue screen set.

thx

You can select which one you want to use from that config dialog box, or if you go to the Diagnotics page in turn you can just select the fully dro on the bottom left with the mouse, then type the new pulley number in there.

Cheers,

Peter.

OK, just looked at the silver blue screen set and the spindle pulley DRO is not displayed anywhere.

So I guess you will need to set it through the config dialog box.

Cheers,

Peter.

Or make up custom macros to write to the spindle DRO to change it to whatever gear you want. For example a macro named something like
m101 for pulley 1
m102 for pulley 2
etc etc

The macro for m101 would simply  have the following in it.

SetOemDRO(56,1)

m102 would have

SetOemDRO(56,2)

etc etc


Then when you called m101 from MDI or code the pulley would be set to 1, m102 it would be set to 2 etc etc
