G64 may be too much fire power, but he should still read up on FASTMODE to judge. Also look at the SMOOTH command using G8/G9.

The BLEND parameter you spoke about I think works best around a...

Modified version of what HuFlung stated. Just a bit quicker to execute

:STARTLOOP
IF #30=1 THEN GOTO :CONTINUE
GOTO :STARTLOOP
:CONTINUE

Note, however the above could be an endless loop if...

Murphy,

Yes, you are correct about the Visual Process Editor, however what I am reffering too is as Keith said there is a System File Editor (text based) just like notepad that you can use when...

If you edit the .FIL files directly with NOTEPAD make sure to turn word wrap OFF. If word wrap is on by accident then you can alter longer lines of code and not know it until you run the machine and...

I believe you are correct, the JOG.FIL file is there only if you need to modify the default jogging parameters. If there is logic in the JOG.FIL file when you press the JOG ICON then this file will...

To get back on track here!

In the case of CNC Plus and I believe and you should verify with CamSoft directly, but you can use almost any G-code other than G1, G2, G3, G10 and any canned/modal...

I have used the CamSoft handheld controller and the feed/speed pots work as advertised. I even saw this work at their office in California. The feed pot adjusts in real time an so does the speed...

It's not that hard really to get both programs to work on the same computer. I noticed that if you are using the latest version of CamSoft then install Galil software the drivers installed by Galil...

Just a thought (not sure if this has been mentioned yet)

Check to see if you have a screen saver or windows hybernation enabled. These two modes may drain computer voltage to below 4.7V that the...

Murphy

Well said !

Murphy

That looks really good, nice job.
What is the hoist for ?, if you do not mind me asking.

If you turn the diagnostics screens off you will not see all that logic in the display window...

100 lines is pretty long and there are neater ways to write logic in CamSoft. You can call macros and unlimted nested macros from what I am told.

You should...

MurphiesLog StarDate 2005 :)

You can only perform the following statements:
IF
THENIF

But you can also perform loops as you saw in my FILEREAD logic. CamSoft helped me with that.

You can...

Here is a more complex example, again this is for CNC Professional.
I know CamSoft has many standard offsets to use that are great, I just wanted to build something of my own and see if it would...

Here is a real quick example. Keep in mind that this code is for CNC Professional Software. I understand you have a different version, so best to check your CamSoft manual for proper syntax and...

I think that you may have missed the comment by Bob Pierre when he mentioned that you can right click on the screen and a yellow window pops up and shows you the pixel coordinates that you can use to...

Actually Bob Pierre is absolutly correct in his statements. I strongly agree
The CamSoft interface can be made to look really cool if you use your imagination. You can create your own bitmapped...

If you go to Galils web site www.galilmc.com then under Tech Notes then under Feedback Devices you will find that they have setup Absolute Encoders in the past. The article describes a TR Absolute...

Murphy,

That sounds good, however there is a way to get 24V on the ICM for the enable circuit. I read in the Galil manual and CamSoft's that you can remove a resister pack (RP1) and apply your...

SQ,

Would in not be better to have the control monitor the flushing and determin on its own when to change the EPACK value instead of relying on the operator to do this based on visual conditions...

One other idea about the readouts showing 25.xxx with whatever number you command the axis to move. I would RESTORE CamSoft Default.CBK file and try the "Select Axis for Motion Test" in the...

Murphy, somewhere in your novel here about chapter (3) I think :)
you mentioned that you were using the 110V from the wall socket to power some of your stuff, possibly the servo amps ?. Are you...

(group) Hhhmm
:idea: Yep! Really sounds like noise.
Are you using single ended A/B channel encoders or Differential A/A-/B/B- channel encoders ?
Single ended are very prone to noise, best to...

Darc,

I am not an expert nc programmer and I am not familiar with your shown methods. However it does seems as if you are trying to program a fanuc style macro NC program, but It seems as if you...

Squarwave,

Thank you for clarifying that for all of us, very clever. Good job.

From what I can see, is that while running diagnostics not only is the software continually writting to the...

HuFlung is absolutely right!

I use the multifunction knob more like a mode selector to raise my Z axis heads. It really doesn't do anything, except store the Nth position of the knob into the...

Darc,

This seems pretty easy. I did a key word search on DEGREES through CamSofts Search for Solution on the CNC SETUP screen and found the following question that explains how this is set.

Darc,

Please don't worry about if its a Dumb question, All question need an answer !

Looks like you are getting some pretty good help from HuFlung here. I have read HuFlung's comments in the...

There is a web site that has a freeware program you can download to find any Microsoft product key that you have installed on your computer. This is handy if you need to re-install software such as...
