Hi,
I tried to email a user Poppabear (scott) as I see in his signature he does this line of work but email bounces back?
It has been several years since Scott so much as posted on the forum. I have no idea of his circumstances but think it wise
to consider him AWOL.
Mach4 offers a great deal of flexibility that Mach3 lacks. For example you can programmatically 'link' and 'unlink' motors
from an axis at will:
rc = mc.mcAxisMapMotor(
number mInst,
number axisId,
number motorId)
Description:
Map a motor to an axis.
rc = mc.mcAxisUnmapMotor(
number mInst,
number axisId,
number motor)
Description:
Unmap the motor from the axis.
This I suspect will be very helpful to you to individually home two spindles that are linked mechanically only when a workpiece
is loaded into the machine despite nominally being the same axis.
I am no Lua expert and hesitate to suggest that I have any skill that 'could be paid for', notwithstanding my desire to be paid!
Additionally I am the sort of person whom if I can see (or visualize) the hardware I can often come up with logical control
solutions, in absence of knowledge of the physical plant my solutions are poorer.
None-the-less I would be prepared to help. My experience is that when I try to help someone else I learn SO much about
Lua and Mach its dubious that I should not be paying them!
