Good morning !

Consider purchasing the axbb-e controller. I am interested in the M6 macro, currently I use the mach3 program.

Axbb-e disc and uccnc program - gives more possibilities, theoretically. Feed and rotation control from the potentiometer panel, friendly interface.

I haven't found any typical lathe screen for basic gcode to work. Additionally, the post-processor (I use hsmworks) is set to milling.

I also use an 8-tool head, below is the M6 start code used by the mach3 program.

Code: Select all

Sub Main()         'Definir variables
OldTool = GetOEMDRO (1200)   
x = GetToolChangeStart( 0 )
y = GetToolChangeStart( 1 )
z = GetToolChangeStart( 2 )
a = GetToolChangeStart( 3 )
b = GetToolChangeStart( 4 )
c = GetToolChangeStart( 5 )
tool = GetSelectedTool()

iToolNum     = 8    'maksymalna ilosc narzedzi
RefTool      = 1    'numer narzedzia po wyzerowaniu osi

Can you help me convert this macro for uccnc control and the axbbe board?

If anyone has any cool screenshots for the lathe, I'd be happy to download them.

Thank you for your help !

My collegue Dezsoe could help you with the macro.
The UCCNC latest development version 1.2116 has a lathe screenset and profile, you can download it here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=240&start=50
1.2116 has some bugs though, 1.2117 will be out soon, but in the meantime you can check 1.2116 to see how you like the lathe screenset and lathe functions.

I'll take a look at it soon.

Can you forecast how "soon" ? Anxiously awaiting.

Thank you,

UCCNC - I will be happy to test your software in the lathe version and help you find errors. Please send me a private message. We will talk about the details of cooperation.

Version 1.2116 which has lathe support is already available for download.
You can download it here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=240&start=50

did it work with axbb-e controller? Is it better to buy uc300eth?

It works with all of our motion controllers.

The demo version will run with the axbbe disc, can you test the program? Do I have to buy the full version of the program right away? does the demo version have any limitations?

In demo mode the UCCNC software does not connect to the motion controller, it just emulates everything on the computer.
So, you can test the software, but you can't generate motion and can't read/write I/Os etc.
Please read the UCCNC users manual for more details.
