Hum... that's interesting about the closed loop stuff!
Ahh... they have a newer firmware update, I'll have to request it, if only I could remember how to get it?

Hi Steve,
do you you have any updates for your post processor?
Ive put in a request with Fusion 360 to create a custom post processor for the s course-5-5-n-n
so far I’m still having to go in...
That one is in Chinese do you have an English upload?
thanks
Glen
Hi can you explain $RST* I googled it to see what it does but no info came up in google.
is it an actual $ console command.
Hi Steve,
Can you tell us what you did to get Fusion to create usable code?
Did you alter the post process script?
Glen
Here are some photos of some laser etching I've done so far.

Hi Phil thanks for joining the conversation!
I now have about 30 plus hours on my new SMC5 controller and it is working great! I have an additional 4-6 hours using it with...
I have about 3 hours of run time on the SMC and it’s working well. The key to using this controller is to learn what G code it doesn’t like and to avoid using said code LOL. Kind of sucks but it is...
Just stumbled or should I say crashed into another fusion 360 made code that this controller doesn't like to work nice with. It's G17
for some reason fusion while post processing added a G17 after...
Well it's been quite the learning curve! But final after staring at the postprocessor file that I opened in Visual studio code for several hours, I was able to figure out how to get the postprocessor...
Now All I have to do is figure out how to change the fusion post-processor file to generate the working Gcode to include the G90 after any G53 (G28) moves.
When you say developer, do you mean...
Hi Bill,
you can send a request too [email protected] you will need to include your ID number of your controller. I took a picture of the screen that shows the controllers ID and sent it in with the...
And this video is handy too for editing postprocessors

YAHOO I got it working!!!!! No more crashes!
I figured out what you meant about re-zeroing the work co-ordinance after a run and yes I was having the same problem. But now it is solved along with my...
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "
Did you try to rerun a program without resetting X.Y,Z again?"
So my understanding of G54 is, it is supposed to put the system back into absolute mode and...
Hey Larry,
thanks for commenting on this thread.
I did some more testing last night and it appears that after doing a g28 or aG53 move g0 G1 codes do not go back to material reference but still...
Hi the latest firmware has backlash settings and G53
Hi Guys the latest firmware contains backlash settings and G53
I have mine running with the sample code that came with the controller, but my Mach3 postprocessor TAP files are a bit erratic.
I'm...

Its the exact same string of code, only difference is I did not include the other two rows of slots in the tool path.
So If I run the tool path to only cut the center row its fine, only when my tool...
I tired breaking the path up into two paths. There are three rows its the middle row with 7 slots in it.
If I just run the middle row by itself its ok. If I have that center row path plus the other...
Thanks for taking the time to reply! :-)
Did you have a chance to look at the TAP. file, where it acts up it looks good to me? What is your thought on the highlighted lines of code where it fails?
...
Thanks for your reply! If it was a loose wire or cracked solder joint, I think the problem would be more random .It occurs at the exact same line in the code each time it happens.
So today I reran the problematic code and it missed steps in the first try.
So I went and redid the post processing and just slected the row of slotes that was problematic.
I ran that TAP. file...
Thanks Gerry, wasn’t aware of the bug. What I did do and it still failed was to override the feed speed in the Mach3 screen down to 1800mm per minute.Why don't they fix the bug????
Going to swap...
Thanks for the info, I had planned on finally swapping the parallel board out today to a new USB board I’ve had sitting around for a year. Was thinking about it last night.

Hi there,
Im loosing steps on my X axis at a certain line in the code. I'm running mach3 on windows 7 with a printer port to a breakout board then to individual cards. My stepper motor will make a...
Thanks for the info!
can you elaborate on the reset (RST) part?
My understanding is the RST is an input to reset the VFD after a fault.
I'm looking for an output from the VFD when there is a...
Hi there, this has been a very helpful thread!
I have a question about the on board relay contacts FA FB FC.
Id like to use the contact to stop my CNC mill by putting it into an E stop when the...
