sorry, problem is not macros now, it is entry and storage of $10 and $31 on an Arduino UNO loaded with GRBL-L, and with spindle display speed on the large, top line display in GRBLGRU.

Sorry, I meant $31
GRBL-L vs L-Mega - the latter has a line in it's config.h specifying limits for $41 values (debounce ticks). The UNO version has no mention of $41 in config.h.
As I've been trying to use the UNO...
Win7: new, beta version gives an error with some value out of range when I add the "T" to the big display string. Eventually reverted to previous version. While spindle speed is being detected, it...
RPM display appears once, then static.
Entry for big display - add "S", <enter>, the S vanishes, and never appears on the screen
These are on my "shop" machine, win7. The win10 one won't let me...
OK, but new version barfs. Will not "run as admin". ?? thanks

thank you, exactly what I needed. I manually control the spindle; some programs won't run unless the spindle is "running", so I usually insert an M3 Sx line, but
run manual. I did use an optical...
I've generated threading macros using G33 and very modest depth/pass values for 16,24 and 32tpi, put them in the lathe macro file.
User is prompted for length of thread.
My lathe in this case is a...
While the control panel DID show up on my shop PC, there is no actual spindle speed reading. It does show actual speed in UGS. $10=3, $40=4.
I can enter a value into the speed window, but nothng...
Thank you - My install is on a Win7 laptop in the shop, and was the reason for my question.
Just tried it on my win10 desktop and it works, and as they say in the IT helpdesk language, "Trouble In...
thank you. I DO have another issue, I'd like to display spindle speed. I've checked "yes" in the pulldown setting menu, and set $10 to 3 (and other values).
Not sure where it should show up. ...
Upon examining other macros, it is first necessary to define some arbitrary default value for each variable
to appear in the dialog box. Then you may change that value as needed - That solved my...
Having gotten my machine running the way I want, I've now switched back to grblgru,
which is a great piece of work. I love the macro capabilities.
I'm having trouble with the %input macro.
If I...
Decided to go back to single stepping on x and y, which will also reduce current duty cycle (some 1/32 microsteps draw 1.4* single step current). Also switched to UGS from GRBLGRU, to get more macro...
If "time" is really the variable causing the pause, it must be the thermal shutdown feature of the DRV8825s. I'll drop the current a bit and install a fan, and report back.
Z is spindle, 1 rev per mm
X is normal logitudinal axis,
G01 X-20 Z20
Which gives 20mm of 1mm pitch thread.
Under testing, with preset Y (cross slide) - for first run testing on my machine....
I've asked my friend whose mill i retrofitted, should hear shortly. Also another friend whose router came with animatronics stuff, has since converted to generic. I'll let you know. markotime shaw...
ok - then it's likely you need an older pc of the vintage of your original. Do you have the proprietary software? If I recall correctly, their licensing involved something deep in the registry or...
Then it is a different arrangement than the two I've seen. There may also be a virtual layer that new hardware has inserted between the hardware ports and the software; they may be a way around...
You probably had a proprietary ISA interface board in the PC, no such slots in the Athlon. My advice: sell the Animatics, buy Gecko G3XX for each axis, keep the Minarik and power supply, buy Mach3,...
Yes, thanks for asking. Keeping servo motors and encoders, as well as Minarik DC motor control. The rst of the electronics will be on ebay at some point in the next few weeks. The machine (and...
In "climate science" the climategate affair has shown ME pretty conclusively that the "concensus" peer review process is a lot like a newsgroup or blog moderator blocking articles that disagree with...
Ho, hum. Many aren't keeping up on their reading. IPCC turns out to be a lackey of the WWF and Greenpeace, Carbon trading turns out to be a wealth-transfer ultra-socialist game (with Gore getting...
The Animatics controller takes serial messages from the proprietary software and translates those into axis motion, driving DC PM motors having some kind of rotary encoder (I hope) or resolver. ...
Haven't gone inside the electronics yet, (haven't seen it yet) but will be pulling everything we can out of it, and retro with (probably) Gecko 3XX servo drives (2000 does use servomotors), run with...
