Happy New Year Tom, I am trying turn an axis and having some trouble. I have one axis of a small mill wired up with a KFlop/KAnalog signaling +/- 10 vdc to...
Tom, Spending some time reading group, I could not find any mention how to setup a Home Switch to Configuration, and convert to C code. Perhaps there is a...
Happy New Year Chris, Set the offset pot such that when you command DAC0=0 on the Console Screen (with all axes disabled) that you have no motor torque. I'm...
Hi Vlad, There is no configuration for homing. You must write a C program yourself to do homing. See the example SimpleHome.c for the simplest example...
Tom, Reason to have two Home - a few different fixtures would be loaded at same time, so a fixed Home positions would required to go from right and left...
Hi Vlad, That wiring sounds correct, but how are you setting the parameters and configuration for the axes? Using the "Move" button on the Step Response...
Tom, It is interestingly enough, I think you would be wondering to know. First of all, I did all possible precautions with grounding, cabling, shielding,...
Tom, and group, I made another attempt to make all working, and first I decide to studding how all is responding... Well, all AxisChannels was working...
Group, Just placed in Photos section a few schematic pictures for LVTTL in and out signal handling examples. Hope it will be useful to some one who is ...
Hi Vlad, There haven't been any reported problems with V4.23. It sounds like you have a miss understanding on how to configure the axis for Step/Dir Output...
Hi Chris, Try reducing the Velocity, Acel, and Jerk to something more reasonable and use the "move" button instead of the step. Maybe Vel=300000, Accel=3e6,...
Tom, Thank you to point in right direction. A documentation and terminology really need to be revised to reflect those moments. It is difficult to guess every...
Hi Vlad, I don't see any inconsistency in your example. By design we require you to re-enable an axis after it has been disabled. In the first case you...
This has been something I have meant to address for some time but just haven't had time, and the lathe does work okay as it is but -- To Home the lathe I have...
Hi Ross, Normally the Mach3 REF buttons are used for Homing? Also normally the Mach3 Zero buttons are use to set the current work position to zero. How do...
If you check the Mach3 _Lathe_ ("Manual") screen it may make my explanation clearer Tom. Ross ... -- Ferguson Windmills Company, www.windmills.co.nz Ph. 64 9...
I understand that on powerup all IO are defined as inputs. I am using AUX #0 (JP4) bits 18-25 and using AUX #1 (JP6) bits 26-35. Bits 24 & 25 and bits 34 &...
Hi Bob, The first 8 bits on both Aux #0 and Aux #1 have 150 ohm termination (pull down resistors). So about 16ma is needed to pull them high. Sorry that...
Hi Ross, ok that helps, but it sounds like "Set Home" is doing the correct thing (see below). But I'm not sure why "Home" doesn't move back to zero. ...
You have it Tom - correct. The explanation below is different from what I read in Appendix "F" Mach3 Turn - Quick Reference, which I thought was the latest...
Thanks Tom. I will try the screen mod and see how it goes. It seems sensible to me that Set Home should mean just that - set it where the axis is when the...
Hi Ross, Set Home moves your axis to a fixed position on your lathe where you have your home switches. When done your lathe is ref'ed and you can always find...
Thanks Bengt. The terminology had me confused. :) Just to be a little pedantic. I feel that if you request that something be 'Set' then that is what you...
