Olivier, Should be no problems using these. Pin 13 is originally "Select" and it's bit 4 of the status register. Pin 15 is orignally "Printer Error", and it's...
Don, Grouping steps and dirs together is one way, and some prefer it, but there's really no inherent advantage. And there ARE some disadvantages. FWIW, most...
Hi Art. Just a small idea for optimization, as i know you try to find some tricks to do it actually. Perhaps it's possible to use the MMX instruction set in...
... Bugger - forgot about that <G>. ... Not in G76 mode, although easily in G32. ... Agreed. Just had a quick look through some FeatureCam posts for CSS lathes...
Steve, Thank you for following this up. When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. I was wrong. The "fail to see" part of my message below applies perfectly<G> Please...
... No problem - I guessed from your second post to Art that you hadn't looked at the page, I should have worded my original more clearly. -- Steve Blackmore...
I think what Art meant was that as in "mill" when you rotate or size the "picture" toolpath, The part and tool move in 3D giving multiple views of the...
"solid" as used below could mean "transparent", and as Steve mentioned, using rear tool or boring, one could see through the part being machined. ... size ... ...
Art, Still no luck. The Z-Axis still stalls on M0 moves, tried everything in motor tuning. The thing I don't understand is being able to jog this axis manually...
... The problem with displaying a tool tip shape is what type? Triangle, Rhomboid, Grooving, Round, threading etc. Mach2 doesn't know tool shapes and sizes and...
...If you've ever seen me or watched others turning on their machines, even though it is 2D lathe, their heads are bobbing from one view to another to get...
Oliver, The base frequency is in Hz. So, a base frequency of 5 will give a PWM period of 5 Hz. The base frequency value along with the Kernel frequency...
Yep, me too. And it didin't matter if I was using old style pulses or new... Something's still not right with the rapids limiting... Off to try again today, ...
Steve, Most CNC lathe toolpath displays DO show one of the several COMMON tooltip shapes. It becomes part of the tool table, and some machines let you create...
I've experienced this type of problem on a laptop. It would jog fine with the "ball" type graphic control. but when doing M0 or M1 moves it would stall. I used...

Hi Art. For the first time mach2 don't work on my machine in enhanced pulsing mode. The CPU load DRO doesn't work too in this version. If i ask a rapid on more...
