Steve:

The error is from the macro threader. Part of the new code. It is saying
that for some reason your macro facility is not initializing in that file.
Perhaps its being called from within a macro or something. Doe shti sonly
happen on some files.

I have run your file several times and cannot repeat this reversal. Let
me understand this, you start the program and the spindle pin is high (low
active but spindle is off). Then you type M3 and the spindle pin goes low.
type M4 and the spindle goes high again. But when you load the program, the
pin changes to low, but the diags page shows no flashing?

Is this accurate...??

Thanks,

Hi Bob:

Just wire the switch to the printer port, turn on the home and limit for
that axis and set the pin for both to the pin you have the switch hooked to.
Press the switch and both home and limit should light up on the Diags page.

Thanks,

Hi
the g28.1 does not work correctly. If you set the z axis to
anything but 0, do a zero all and try a g28.1 it does not set to 0.
It seems to be related to the extrema readings being incorrect after
a zero all. I am using rc10
Todd

How would I go about using the same switches for home and limit? How would
I know if the switches already on my Bridgeport would be suitable?

Thanks Bob

Could it be those ' characters?

No removed them, although they were ignored by all previous versions?

Any file does it, the tcollet one you have and just the two lines of
simple code I posted earlier e.g.

N10 G0 X10 Z30 S500 M4 M8
N20 G0 X0 Z0 M5 M9

I enter the lines as MDI (without the line number) - it works, copy
into a text file and load as gcode immediately file loads, pin
reverses. You can only tell with meter/scope, on reversal led's on
diag screen don't light but pin goes high!

What is that error I keep getting on file load?
This happens on my "test pc" too!

Hello all around!

How can I automate tool length measurement?
Is it possible via some script to send mashine to some position,
where digitizing switch or metall contact plate located. Then lower
Z until touch and read value to table. ??
Thanx in advance.

I had a post for mastercam9 ( I think it was a mill post from
version 7 ) but I had a systemcrash and I hade to format c:\
Could someone mail it to me pls. It`ll be a great help. And if
someone has a link for creating and editing posts ... would be great
too.
Thanks a lot.

It's a static problem and I now know what is happening - loading GCode
is somehow inverting the state of the pin. I've just had the meter on
the output of the spindle relay. It works fine in MDI mode, and worked
fine in V7 in MDI and code. In V10 as soon as I load code relay comes
on, but nothing is being sent from step/dir pin so motor doesn't move.
an M4 in code then sends requisite voltage to VFD but switches relay
off!

I'm also getting the same error twice on loading code

Error 0x8000fff
(IActiveScriptParse::InitNew (()

Touch correction now seems ok, display is still screwy if there are
tool offsets, toolpath display is also set off by amount of work
offset, this could mean that with large offsets for boring bars etc,
the display would be off screen.

Hello List.

I was thinking about trying Mach1 or Mach2 with my sherline mill.
Im currently running TCNC with a 200Mhz pentium. I have a PII 350
in the garage I can use. I was wondering if I should get a faster
PC or will the 350 be OK. Also, how do I know if I have a "Non
Apic" motherboard? Will the software work Ok with out modifications
to my zylotex driver? How can you set up a Joystick, and what is it
used for, Jog?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Chris Seeley

Just a note: I tried Mach1 / 2 and Master5 with my laptop when I
first set stuff up. It would not work. I think it was due to the
Laptops LPT port being part of the external docking station. (It's
an IBM X20) So I used an old compaq with DOS and TCNC to get my
feet wet. Should it have worked on this? If I can get it to work
on this then that would be great. I tried several CNC progs, and
non of them seem to work with it!! Just no motion!!

The strange thing there is that the LED flashing is sensed directly from
the pin. The LED flashes if it is flagged as active. It isn't a setting. SO
at least we know the program has flagged it as active, the question now is
what happened to the output. Is this still happening to you every time?

If so, please send me the entire file if possible, just in case seomthing
further on is setting some weird state. (That is possible.)

Here is the file

G0 X10 Z10 M4 M8
G0 X0 Z0 M5 M9

In that case it wouldn't work as manual entries in MDI??

Works typed as MDI but not loaded as gcode.

I get the feeling some strange shit is going on again. My zero's OK and
the spindle runs ok. I know the driver is proiper or it wouldn't run for
you...

Strange for sure :(

If you enter it in the DRO, that is the same as a G92, which is not
saveable, if you use touchoff, you can tough to fixture or tool, and that is
saveable.
Thats the only difference.

It would be high for sure. If you use 3.5 as you stated, then the distance
would be something on the order of 1.5 inches I think. I'd need calculus to
figure it out, and my calculus sucks. Trial and error in the air might show
it though.
