Art, Looks like my problem runs around how Mach1 reads the hotkeys. I setup the arrow keys as hotkeys for axis movement, I have enabled Hotkeys On option, but...
Hi Bill: It is my thought at present to simply use the index pulse. I should be able to compute the position very accurately with just that at speeds up to ...
Hi Jerry: Yup, the new screens will display which profile your using. I hope to release the screen designer application in 2 weeks or so. It won't do anything...
Art: When you enter an edit box, like MDI for \example, the hot keys turn off by themselves. (Or if the system is in a running state or E-Stopped). If the ...
Art, I have just run some tests with Mach1 v1.98. And I'm sorry to tell you that I get the exact same results as before. This is what I've done: Remeber I can...
Hi Henrik: Did you have an opportunity to test the driver on the 27th that seems to have fixed the problem for some people. We're tracking down exactly which...
Art, No I didn't test with that driver. You do mean the Mach1.sys that is on the Yahoo page don't you? How do I change the driver to one of those? Is it just a...

Hi Art, If Bill's is the same as mine. It has two outputs. A single pulse per revolution and also a stream of pulses, mine is 50 per revolution. The single...
OK this may be a dumb question so don't laugh.. Oh heck you can laugh, I don't care. I just downloaded Mach1 (very impressive!). I cut a part with Mach1 and...
Hi Jeff: Actually, you CAN do a lot of things in the background while running Mach1. The only thing you CANNOT do is load a multi-media application. Some WEB...
While there may be other ways to do it, I'm also interested in treating the spindle as an axis for cutting spirals, for example... There may also be toolpost...
Bill, I'm not Art, but I think I recall him saying that the encoder inputs were good for about 12k/second. Which would mean you'd be okay up to about 10k rpm...
Art, I downloaded the Mach1.sys and Mach1.sys_2. I thought those where the two drivers you ment but when trying to install them as per the instructions in the...
Art, You may want to consider the possibility of someone wanting multiple start threads. Having more granularity will make this much more likely to be ...
Mark, There are a few options, depending upon the size of your lathe. One is simply to use a gecko or similar servo drive for the spindle motor. I believe Art...
... My CNC lathe simply has a once per rev encoder on the spindle and that is driven by a 180V DC motor with PMW controller via standard V belt. Before thread...
Hi Henrik: Nope, its the mach1.sys you need. You copy it into the MAch1 folder overwriting the original. You then use the control panel system icon to remove...
One thing I found that would be nice to change is.. When I import a file and enable plasma mode and then set the delay time ei. 2 seconds. When I then use...
Can anyone help, I can'get a subroutine to run. Is there a "switch" that needs to be turned on in one of the tab windows (if so ican't find it. BElow is the...
Hi Jeff: My fault. Typo in the Docs. Change your G98 and G99 to M98 and M99, this will fix yoiur problem. Subroutines calls are M-Code calls. Thanks, Art ...
Art, Thanks for the quick response -- M98, M99 instead of the G98, G99 worked fine. However when I try to runn the subroutine twice it fails at the beginning...
Hi Art, It would be nice if you put Version number or Date in Documents and Help files. It helps us to see if you made a change or correction. Thanks Mark...
Hi Jeff: You can put a loop increment in the M8 call. Varibales are indicated by the # sign. ex: #1005 = 13 G0X#1005 (this moves X to 13) Hope this helps, ...
