Hey Gerry,

thanks alot for the Screenset. Its great and working very well.
I'm using it with a resolution of 1440x900 and it looks very good.

But j have found one little issue. The Resetbutton of the Feedrate Override only works in standstill. So i can't reset the feedrate to 100%, when the gcode is running.
Is it possible to change the behavoir?

Kind regards,

Sven

One of the updates I sent out fixed this. Did you receive my email notice about an updated version?
If not, send me an email.

EDIT:
If you do have the latest version, I'll look into this tonight. I know when I originally fixed this I sent it out to one user, and I may not have corrected it for all of the motion controllers, as there is a separate screen for each motion controller.

Thanks for the screen set link and licence

looking forward to using it did i read somewhere that CCW is not used if so do you plan to add it

Thanks Anyway Andrew

There's no M4 (CCW) Button on the screen, and I don't plan on adding it.
It will still work if it's in your g-code, and you can always type M4 in the MDI to start your spindle CCW, and M5 to stop it.

as long it works as M4 thats going to fine for me

Thanks Andrew

Gerry,

Can you add an "Uncrash" button at the next 2017 screenset update? Nothing too complicated, just some way to go back in time and clear out your tool offset table before running the auto-zero then calling a G43 Hxxx line (with the old offsets still lurking in the table)?

No rush, but it might help some people who may have buried a mill-drill someplace no mill-drill should have ever gone.

Thanks,
Spumco

Gerry,

I'm currently testing Your screenset (auto tool change function to be specific). I have few questions (I'm using 1.2033 UCCNC with UC300ETH-5LPT):

Should the spindle be stopped when M6 is activated (relay controlled spindle) ? I got the message on screen saying "press ok when tool is changed" but spindle was still spinning... I did pressed OK and than "feed hold", than turned spindle off (M5), changed tool and pressed "feed hold" again. The tool was measured, spindle was turned on and all other went as it was expected.

Other question: As my fixed touch plate is mounted on Y axis - it would be very nice to have "check box" that would activate function "use current coordinate for Y axis" Or should I change in macro manually ?

Should the spindle be stopped when M6 is activated (relay controlled spindle) ?

Your g-code should be stopping the spindle with an M5 before it gets to the M6.

You can also add a:
exec.Code("M5");
at the beginning of the M6 macro.

For now, can you just edit the macro to do what you want? In 7 years, and thousands of users, I've only had one other person have a fixed plate on the gantry.
I'll look into adding it later, but it'll take a lot of work , as there's no room for 2 checkboxes (some people use X axis for the gantry).

Gerry,

I'm using the MACH 2/3 ATC ARCS (metric) postprocessor exported from Aspire. There is no M5 code :/

Code: Select all

What postprocessor is recommended ?


Hmm, I' thought that is a good idea to have fixed plate on Y axis as it saves quite of movement I will fix in macro, thank You.

Try this. I just modified the Mach3 post and made this one.
