Hi everybody!
I hope I've posted this topic in the right spot.
I'm currently retrofitting my emco pc mill 50 to mach 3 witch a bob board from cncdirect.za
Everything works well only for one thing:
I've made a controll panel on my emco using a operators interface and 2 rotary knobs also from cnc direct
http://www.cncdirect.co.za/htm/cnc.htmlOne rotary knob i'm using to toggle the spindle speed, every "klick" on the knob alters the spindle speed 10% incremental and works just fine!
For the feedrate I configured 2 oem buttons and hotkeys to toggle the feedrate. When I push the keys on the pc keyboard the feedrate alters nicely in steps of 10% incremental (100%, 90, 80 etc.)
When I program the rotary knob for the feedrate i have to turn the knob quite a lot to alter the feedrate instead of one klick= 10% incr.
I've tried reprogramming the operators interface, using another port on he interface, programmed the other knob for the feedrate etc.... But it stil workst weird.
The knobs are technically in order with no malfunction but mach reacts weird on the pulses of the rotary knob for the feedrate. The knob for the spindlespeed works fine!
Who has an answer, for this?
I hope someone can help me
Best regards
