Getting Started with UCCNC Software
I'm a long time Mach 3 user but I've finally gotten completely fed up with their very poor CV trajectory planner so I've purchased a UC 100 as well as the control software. I've started working on it today and have a few issues I'm dealing with and wondering if anyone else has found any solutions to this:
1) Reverse Axis - out of my X,Y and Z axes, only the X is moving in the proper direction. I've been looking for a reverse axis checkbox like in Mach 3 but I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does such a thing exist or do I have to re-wire my motors? (would be very annoying if I have to re-wire)
2) Limit switches - since I'm just getting started, I'm hitting the limit switches quite often and there doesn't seem to be a way to move the machine away from the limit switches. Am I missing something?
I'm sure I'll have more question as time goes on but this is something I need to get going as quickly as possible.
As soon as possible, I have to write an M6 macro to handle the tool change. I'm currently using Ger G's screen set for Mach 3 which using a mobile plate and fixed plate to handle tool changes. I saw some stuff in the other thread that looks like it shouldn't be too big a deal to take care of this.
Thanks!
