New Ideas for UCCNC features?

[cncdrive]

Hi ALL , I will start posting macro EXAMPLES when we get a MACRO section of the forum . Otherwise they will just get lost in teh jumble of posts. I would call it the "Macro ToolBox" section.

(;-) TP

Terry, I will check now how to give you permissions to you to create new forums, hopefully I'll find that menu item and then you could create new forums, e.g. for macros.

[cncdrive]

Terry, check your permissions now please, you should be able to create new forums now.

HI CNCDRIVE, I do not see any options to do this . I even logged out and back in to make sure.

What do you see if you click the "Administration Control panel" on the bottom of the page?
There you should see option to manage forums and create forum etc.
Do you see that or not?

[cncdrive]

Cool.

id love to have the homing code available to edit- so i could add homing to encoder z pulse. (i use servos)
i did mention it to balacz a while ago- but theres probably not many of us that would use it.
at the moment even with slow movement off the switch im only getting about 0.2mm repeatable which can show in work .
with encoder homing- like on my other machines i should get 0.005mm every time

Do you mean like this?

exec.Callbutton(107); //RefHomeX

You could assign your index to one of the probe inputs, and do a probing move to the index? But then you'd probably need additional inputs?

[Battwell]

Balacz told me homing was performed in the motion controller - not the pc.
What I would love is home onto switch, slow back off (as normal) then continue backing off until encoder index pulse and stop. Setting dro at this position is extremely accurate and not dependent on switch repeatability.
(It's how 90% of commercial machines are set up)
I use it on all my mach3 / galil conversions-,- always spot on

Rotary axis radius feedrate compensation

Has this been addressed yet?

[cncdrive]

No, the UCCNC does not support radius based feedrate control yet.

[medman007]

No, the UCCNC does not support radius based feedrate control yet.

Thanks for the reply. Any idea when it will be supported? Once it has that feature and Gerry releases his screenset for purchase, I think the hobby market (and then professional with custom machines) will start switching over in droves. The uc100 has already eliminated quite a few headaches for me while still using mach. I would love to switch software as well.
