I would love to see a two key option for Jog, Ctrl (jogkey) for increment and Shift (jogkey) for velocity, or something similar. How would this effect programming game joysticks, one of which I intend to buy tomorrow?

Not necessarily requiring combination key strokes. But having it
the option. For some reason I like the idea of the jog keys only
being the jog keys.

The same with feed hold, if your in mdi your forced to use esc. Your
feed hold does not work. I use feed hold enough to want a feed hold
button on my control panel but if it doesn't always work, that
could be a potential cash or the notorious loss of steps.

I'd like it if the continuous .001 .01 .1 were buttons. A rotary
switch with a button in the center to input would be awesome for jog
selection.

If you use the scroll lock key for continuous/jog toggle input, then
the light from the keyboard could be used for a continuous jog panel
light. Added visual ad. Any ideas?

Josh,

Are you saying that you would like to be required to deploy two

hot keys for axis jogging so as to eliminate the chance of an
inadvertent jog command? If so I would like to add to your
suggestion. Have a safety hot key for velocity jogging and one for
incremental jogging thereby eliminating the current jogging toggle.

in the system hotkeys box recognized the input but the key stroke
didn't jog the machine. Not a big deal, but it would cut down on
the accidental jog/crash when you drop your keyboard. That and it
gives more inputs, I think.

In one of my previous lives I learned about "site engineering".
It's very nice to have a preplanned project and scope it all out with
a great CAM program, but sometimes , if you're maching for yourself,
you just decide that this piece really needs a chamfer here, or with
this Virtual Compound I can knock out a special collet in minutes,
less time than it would take to write the code.

Hi
I have a BP clone with westamp servos and a blown control and a bad
X axis glass scale. I've been hemming and hawing on what is the
best direction for me to take.
I,m not planing on doing aerospace work but I would like it to be
Option 1
Pico systems card and EMC, replace the glass scale. Well that's a
no-go as I'm hooked on Mach2 and have no plans on using any other
control program and it's the most expensive of my three options.

Option2
Use Rutex R991H Pulse to analog drive. Keep my servo amps and
replace the glass scale with a rotary encoder .

Option3
Use Rutex R990H or the R90H if the 990 is too small. Use a rotary
encoder and sell the amps on ebay.

I'm starting to like option 3 as there are less components to go
bad. Are there any advantages to using the pulse to analog drives
and servo amps verses the others.

Thanks
Derek

Ok Guys,

We are drifting here.
Try and keep it on track please.

Not doing on tools with negative Z offsets? Tool path for that tool

HI All:

RC11 is online. It deals with certain issues that have come up with various
lathe topics. Some Mill fixes, but only fairly insignificant ones. RC2 has
been removed. RC11 will become the final lockdown version prior to Release
1.0. Though some bugs exist in Mill, bug reports are incredibly low and
most of those are more quirks than bugs. I will update RC11 quickly as any
bugs occur and then release 1.0 .

While there is much more to do to Mill as well, if I face facts, it will
never be complete, but I have many requests wondering when R1.0 will be out
so they can try it. (Some people understandably will not use less than a
release.) and since mill is no more quirky than Windows itself, theres no
real excuse to hold the Release 1.0 version..

New features:

Laser XY Grid.
This is development level code for Laser digitizers. You use it by
setting an output for "Digitize Trigger" and then enabling the Grid on the
corrections tab. Zero the Laser Grid at your X,Y 0,0 point after offsetting.
From that point forward, any G1,G0,G2 or G3 which passes a grid coordinate
will trigger a Digitize pulse output as the axis passes that coordinate.
This pulse will be approx. 20-40us in width. If you code a grid shaped
movment, you will trigger on the intervals specified on the corrections tab.
This is a test development so that digitizers can play with their triggering
and data to see if possibilities exist for this method. I will code Macro
commands for the control when appropriate. For example , if you set the grid
to 5mm X and Y and then execute a GCode program which sweeps a 5x5 grid, you
will end up with a trigger at the 5mm division points of the movement.
Movement does not need to stop to trigger, so a line in the above situation
like:
G0X100 will generate a trigger at 0,5,10,15,20..etc.., but you must start
the gridding with a move to g0x-1 so that the move will cross the 0,0 point
to trigger there as well.

Rutex Tuning.:

Again, development in progress, A button exists on the motor tune dialog
box. Only getting PID values and setting them is coded, but completely
untested so I don't know if it works at all yet. I haven't gotten to actual
hardware tests. Rutex users: Let me know if it actually does read the PID
registers properly when you press the GetData button. SendData will also
change them theoretically, but since its untested, it will be a miracle if
it actually talks. I will hook up my rutex drivers to some power to test
further when I get to auto tuning and waveform display of the overshoots.
This is just the preliminary SPI control code to tak serially to the drivers
through the printer port SPI control lines. It uses approx. 250Hz to tak,
but I will be upping that to 5Khz on next version. It assumes the port1
address is connected to the rutex motherboard.

Lathe Display will now follow tool offsets that are known at load. Hit regen
if you change a tool offset in the table after a load. It should also follow
the path properly.

THC is reset to zero offset and the DRO is rationalized when an M5 is
executed. Torchheads shouild let me know if this is problmeatic and I will
remove it ASAP. G28.1 during THC correction may now work properly as a
result as long as an M5 is encountered before the G28.1, but this remains to
be seen.

Thanks, Happy cutting..

Art,
I meant only that the compass would indicate the general direction
but that an exact number would be entered.
The need for the compass is that entering a number of degrees is fine
but there is the plus minus problem and the start point of the angle.
Also it would be nice to go both ways along the set angle, (taper).

Hi Josh:

It sounds like a video related slowdown. I suggest tinkering with your
video. As to the softlimit problem, I will check the code, but a softlimit
hit should stop the program. I recommend reseting after a softlimit hit as
this should be a rare occurance.

Thanks, Sorry for the bug..
