Me Too!

Took a bit of an indirect route, originally planned on switching to linuxcnc with a motherboard I had that when tested turned out to have good, low latency numbers but came across...

My PathPilot to ProMiCA IC3A project is just about complete.

I wire wrapped a small board with a few ICs to a) invert and generate a few signals b) adapt the Mesa card pin assignments to IC3A...

Hello Rodger,

I've been using "+" for years, not required but sometimes as a reminder to me about something.

There were several fixed number formats tears ago, maybe they didn't allow "+", I...

I remember the resistor jammed in the plastic block between the sensor and the bracket. It's not on the card or terminal block.

It's needed or the LED will die instantly with 5V across it.

Hi Mactec45,

Don't know what the G00 and G50 are doing there at the top, didn't know G49 was a problem. The lines at the top are my standard setup lines I've used for years, must have had a one...

Could never be sure, but could be line 15 or 16 or just before line 15.

Hello Rodger,

Did you run it several times with hears tuned for a rapid move?

I gave Mach3 every chance of getting it right, cut air then adjusted Z offset, it would work, reload the stock,...

Hi Rodger,

Thanks for your comment, I can understand your scepticism. I've used Mach3 for several years without problems until this.

I searched for any mentions of the problem and found one...

Hi imperative,

Have to agree, the Z axis sensor bracket is not as well engineered as the other Promica parts, adjusting it is a bit of a trial as well.

The actual sensor has 4 wires, 2 for the...

Hi all, Just to keep the ProMiCA thread alive.

I have a SX3 with ProMiCA conversion and IC3A.

Currently building an adaptor to make the IC3A pin compatible with a Mesa 5i25 i/o card as used by...

I'm assuming the damaged sensor doesn't have a part number on it, is that correct?

I replaced the home sensors a few years ago, I wasn't happy with the repeatability of homing so I substituted one...
