Hello,
I have found the only place that I can think you would ever get the offset... If you could add OEMDRO #204 to the screen and tell me if you get any values . If you need me to make the screen...

Hello:
LazyCam is going to have a manual out soon :) Immo a German oem has done a German version of the manual and after the next round of bug fixes should have finished... So hang in there, we are...

Post your XML and I will see if I can find the problem. What version are you running?

Thanks
Brian

Can't tell you as I have never used there IO Stuff like that :(

So I am going to say No but that is because I don't know...

I could read in the encoders and turn that into Gcode... but once again it gets down to time :( If I were to do that I would have to charge for it. Would you be upset if it cost 19.99 to get the...

I will be testing the PC4CNC stuff soon.. I have no idea when you will be able to buy it :(

I think the Pod will be ready in a few weeks.. there is heavy testing being done on that at this point...

So it works in MDI but not on the screen... odd... so if you type (MDI) in S2000 you get 2000 RPM and if you change it to 3000 you get 3000 RPM Right?

if that is true then there is a problem in...

It is a button that you can add VB code too...
You can enter in code like this:
Zmove = 1.5 'amount the tool will move down to hit the probe
Zpos = GetDRO(2)
Tool = GetDRO (24)
ZOffset = .5...

If you have all the settings right you should be able to tell the spindle to go to S300 and it will turn 300 RPM.... do you have there spindle speed board and a VFD? If so see that you are getting...

What are your steps per unit?

I posted this on the support page and wanted to tell you all here as well...

Hello,
I wanted to tell you that I made you all a gift in my free time ;)
This Pluging is Called JCode (Jog to...

I wrote that over a year ago and it has been one of the better ideas that I have had :)
Very happy it worked for you.

Brian

Yup they can be run at the same time :)

There is a new one that will be out soon for PC4CNC and it will have 32in and 32 out... More what you are looking for but it needs to be tested...

Open the ports and pins and on the input and output pages it will tell you what pins you can use.... 1-9 can be used for motor outputs

Us the "Set Steps Per Unit" Button on the settings page of mach3... this will help you get your steps per unit with out math

Take a look at this:

It was made to work with Mach3 ;)

You don't need any of that stuff for the output to the motor... Reg 64 gets data from the spindle tab under ports and pins. you just need to tell it what number gives you max RPM. As for gears......

Nice! Looks like he is doing a good job :)

Brian

Yes.. you will need to make two buttons that have some VB code in them. The code will look like this:

Call SetOEMDRO(3,5) 'This will set the Jog rate to 5%

Put that in a button and you are...

I will try to post here and on the Machsupport forum :)

Here are the Macro's that you will need to change:

M3

Call Setmodoutput(1,1) 'Turn on the spindle
Call Setmodoutput(2,0) 'This tells the spindle to turn CW
DoSpinCW()


M4

I was running the pod on a Bp last night and it worked great... I was running the roadrunner file at 60IPM on a stepper mill... I have run that file so much in testing (that is the file Art and I use...

Mike I will tell Ron :)

Francis, you are killing me ;) I think it is doable but I would think that is a Cam thing... I have never needed to cut one in the past. What do you need it for?

Yup, no problem tell me the register in Decimal and what bit you need changed. the settings on the mach3 side will only take me a few min :)

You are close but here is no VB that needs to be done and there is no need to work on the screen :) All you have to do is setup the bitpacking and set the register that you need to send the word for...

Modbus is not the best but it is good for IO that is not super high speed... We are looking into Ethernet Powerlink, I think you will be happy with the timing of that :)

nope :( But if you think it is something that you need we can look into getting that added... The programer that is working with me is a great guy ans like to see good things like that added ;)

When you home with a slaved axis be sure that the Home Vel % is the same :) That will make for an odd home move...

You would have to setup the registers in decimal and enable bitpacking... Should be no probelm and if you start on that project please feel free to mail me and i will help you with the settings
...

The new version should see the Mach2 XML and ask you if you would like to have your XML converted :) I would double check all the settings but it should have very close!
