i sued the G61 and G64 and it does the job? of course i
meant used not sued. definitely was combining moves and
Brian seems to agree that the trajectory planner will do that and
that the absolute stop is the way to fix it and it did.

If your Mach4

I haven’t had
that problem, but lately I am having the problem that if I
move my axes during a toolchange, mach4 doesn’t realize it,
and all move from then on are relative to the place I moved
the axes to.

i sued the G61 and G64 and it does the job. I guess mach3
trajectory planner was different? never had that particular
issue then.
the xbox plugin is great once it is activated :)
i tried to figure out how to best use the various joysticks
and buttons to get what i want and could not figure it out.
maybe there are modifier keys that can be used along with
joysticks but i couldn't figure it out.
ideally i want slow and fast x y and z jogging and some sort
of crude a control just fixed increments would be good enough.
i only use the A in setup so it is not a big deal but x y and
z are
?so what is a reasonable way to configure the xbox to achieve
that basic control?
i'll try that. so there is a trajectory planner in mach4? i
was going to look but forgot to see if there was an option
to not combine separate moves. now that i know how to get
around this i am fine but it was a surprise to see the
cutter clip the corner of a pocket as it climbs out. i had a
z move separate and an x and y i think this is only a
problem with other axis following a z that was intended to
clear obstacles.
how do i get the latest xbox plugin and what is it called
and file dates?

Could
you consider putting a G61 (exact stop) ahead of the G1
F83 Z .2 move and a G64 (exact stop cancel) after it?
This prevents the trajectory planner from blending the
next move with the critical retract move in Z.

Subject: Re: [MachCNC] odd behavior ESS?
I have been learning a lot about mach4 and am getting
quite comfortable with it. I do not need to add anything
other than my little parts counter and an external switch.
I would like to get xbox controller working but i just
can't seem to on the router computer, only the house
computer.
here is the odd behavior. i think this is an ESS issue.
in mach3 i has having strange behavior at exactly the same
spot. with mach4 i didn't until suddenly it also did the
same thing. if i don't have the line in bold shown below
(using a short dwell) the z and followiong x and y moves
get combined
G1 F51 Z -1.15
G1 F31 X 1.73
G1 F83 Z .2
G4? P100 (dwell to prevent combined move)
without this line the G1 F83 Z .2 and the next G1 get
combined into one move clipping off
the corner of the part? with the 100 ms dwell it moves to
the z location and then to the X and Y
i checked this over and over and am not imagining it? also
previously this is the exact spot where phantom moves (and
usually corrections that cancelled the phantom move)
happened and have happened twice now with mach4 so it must
be an ESS bug or maybe something odd about my gcode that i
don't understand
G52 X0 Y0 Z0 (cancel all offsets)
(SECOND WARP HOLE)
G52 X-.555 Y .875 Z -1.67
(G1 F61? Z .3 just in case)
G1 F93? X2.1003 Y0.5649
and a larger part of the context here
?
M9 (mist off to release clamp)
G1 F10000 A 90
M7 (mist on to set clamp)
M3 S1000
(DO DSLOT FINISH)
G1 F65? Z 0 (might be able to move a little less to finish
cut might help ejection)
G52 z - 1.67
G0 X 2.1541 Y 2.7725
G1 F93? X 2.1541 Y 2.7725 (was Y 2.71)
G1 F75? Z 0.0
G1 F83 Z -.35
G1 F31 X 1.73
G1 F31 Z -.7
G1 F32 X 2.1541 (this one needs to be slower)
G1 F51 Z -1.15
G1 F31 X 1.73
