Hello Andrew

Thank you for responding.

I have that exact .RAR file installed into the Plugins folder and it still will not work. I see that the x,y and z axis DRO readouts do not change, when I...

Hello OlfCNC

I checked the constant velocity parameters and they are all still default settings. I have been using the constant velocity mode and not the exact stop mode. Maybe I should try that...

Hello Gerry

I just ran the program again and this time, I made it cut in a clockwise direction. No difference in the measurements. Kept the feed rates exactly as they were.

Hello Gerry

Thank you. I will give that a try. One thing, which I did see, was that the spindle was turning clockwise, as it should do, but the end mill`s tool path was machining anti-clockwise.

Hi Gents

I must mention that I was using a feed rate of 50 mm/min, which is very slow and used a 1/8" ball nose end mill @ 6000 Rpm. Machined a pocket into a piece of aluminium. Looks very nice,...

Hello Gents

I have done the calibrations of the stepper motors, using a dial indicator, to measure the distance each stepper motor traveled. Used a steel ruler, to check the longer distances,...

Hello Gents

I purchased the above mentioned pendant, not knowing that it would not work with UCCNC. Some people have managed to get it to work, especially the version of the same unit, which has...

Thanks Gerry

I will connect them like that.

Hello Gerry

Yes, I did see that in the schematic, but I was not sure about the resistor, which goes between the BRN and BLK wires on the sensor? I was under the impression that a resister is...

I forgot to mention that these sensors are NO and not NC.

Hello Gents

I am trying to connect the NPN type proximity sensors to the X,Y and Z axis.

These NPN sensors operate from 6 V to 36 VDC.

I was informed that these sensors can be connected to...

Hello Gerry

Thank you for your response. Pity that this 5V terminal, is not enough power for the proximity sensors.

So it could be used to ENABLE the stepper drivers, if required to?

Hello Gents

What is this 5V port used for on this UC300 ETH-UB1 board?

Is this to power the ENABLE terminals on the DQ542MA stepper motor drivers?

Using the X axis as an example, I connected...

Hello dazp1976

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it.

I will check online to see if the Supplier has got another 48 Volt PSU?

I understand and agree about using 2 power supplies....

Hello Gents

The attached script is working, but I need to change the plate thickness of ( 2, 060 ) to a Metric measurement of 19.76 mm.

Hello robertspark

I will try to post the script, which I used.

Hi Gerry

All this trouble started after connecting a remote USB pendant, bought on eBay. It worked until I discovered that the Auto Tool Zero went bonkers. So left the pendant alone, as it started...

Hello Gerry

This is so frustrating. If I tap on the DEBUG icon on the vbscript folder, there is a F7 and F8 tab. After selecting either one of them, the script re-opens and the (mm) is HIGHLIGHTED...

Hi Gents

I had the auto tool set working well on my MACH3 controlled router. All of a sudden, it gives an error message, when clicking on the AUTO TOOL ZERO icon in MACH3. Error in script .in. I...

Hello ger21

Thank you for your response. I found what I was looking for, which was a link from a video clip. The link was not available anymore, but as you said, a Google search will find it. I...

Hello Gents

I purchased a Tool Setter Touch plate, which did not have a script file attached to it. The total thickness is 19.76 mm.

Any idea where a suitable vbscript file, may be downloaded...

Hello John

Thank you for your reply.

I used a resistor on the BLACK signal wire, to the input pin on the AKZ250 and set the sensor to ACTIVE LOW. It was just a little confusing to see how the...

Hello Gents

I sorted this problem out and its working properly now.

Regards

Craig

The schematic which is in the MACH3 usermanual,shows that the BLUE wire is going to the pin on the BOB. The specifications on the NPN sensor,shows the BLACK wire going to GND (This is if I am correct...

Hello Gents

I have a problem, regarding the wiring of the NPN Normally Open proximity sensors and there seems to be some confusion about this, especially when I refer to the schematic, which the...

Hello skrubol

Thank you very much for your explanation. I really appreciate it. The NPN sensors are normally open type.

Hello Gents

I am in the process of completing my CNC router build. It is a "Maker slide" design and has two stepper motors on the Y-AXIS. The BOB is an AKZ250 3-AXIS version.
