Hi Danila, I am also asking you about the other thread for the configuration photo, the one I would like you to send me is the spindle configuration plugin. I don't know if I explain myself? or the encoder configuration.
Regarding the other questions.
if we handle the motor spindle with the analog output 0-10 volts.
The rpm stabilization mark is 0.
The plugin we use is the cslab plugin.
The version of mach 4 is last year's, tomorrow I could tell you exactly what it is.
Really thank you very much for your time and help me out.

I attach images.
Mach4 build 4369
plugin V3.204 (remember that I own the IP S model).

Tomorrow when I am with the machine I will test what you have sent me, whatever I am missing if you do not mind I will continue writing to you and see if we can solve it.
thousand thanks really. Take care, and we'll be in touch.

try this gcode in the air.
it was an internal thread.
I made 10 pieces, so it works.

I am European and precisely Italian.
so we use the metric system, pay attention to the gcode test data that I posted.

I am from Spain, I will take these data into account. Much encouragement for this situation that we have for the covid19. We will get out of this. I hope everything goes well. Thank you.

Hi Daniba, I have already set the configuration that you sent me yesterday and the threading program.
The first attempt was unsuccessful, it continues to do the same to me, the tool is placed on X and does not advance.
1st question.
do you have index activated? And if you have it activated, who controls it for the csmio ip A or csmio enc?

The only thing that can happen is.
I have the same firmware version as you, I updated it last week, but the version of mach 4 I have 3804 build. It is prior to yours, I will try to update it, as we already read there was a problem with it just as updating it has been fixed.
Another thing that can happen is that I use a servo controlled motor, instead yours is a stepper. It may be another cause.

Didn't you do anything special to synchronize it?
How long can you thread?
I await your responses and I insist again that thank you very much for your time and help.

Hi, I have not activated any index use only encoder bought at cslab, connected to the ENC module.
I have a classical asynchronous motor operated by Toshiba VFD analog signal. (Mine is a toy lathe ... weighs 180Kg)
from how it behaves, it seems aspects a signal that does not arrive, or arrives disturbed.
encoder is connected right? (I think only one channel is needed).
is the cable shielded? I do not rule out there are eddy currents that disturb the signal.
why didn't you buy original cslab encoder?
your version of Mach4 is a bit old, even if I don't think that's the cause, update it, it won't cost you anything.
