UCR201 configuration

Postby Mark81 » Thu Dec 26, 2019 8:48 am

Hi guys! There are some things I don't understand how to do (if possible) with UCR201.
If they are documented somewhere, please let me know, because I read the manuals but I didn't find the answers:

  1. Safe-Z in absolute coordinates. I need to set the Safe-Z value in absolute coordinates, in order to move the Z axis to the same position regardless the actual working Z value
  2. Goto zero moves the Z up to the Safe-Z value, then moves to X0Y0 and eventually moves Z down to Z0. Instead I want to G0 ...0 the current axis only. Or at least, moves XY axes only. I never want to move to Z0 (because my zero is on the spoil board surface, below the stock!)
  3. Probe: when I press this button on the handwheel I want to call a macro (i.e. #20104) not just probing. I know I can use the Fx keys, but because there is a dedicated button it would be much better to use it!
  4. I'm afraid this is actually a feature request: for all movemenent commands (i.e. start/stop, goto 0, probe, home, etc...) please add a "delay button" feature. That means you have to press and hold for - say - 1 second the button before the command is executed. This would prevent damages if you press a button inadvertently, especially when wearing gloves...
[*] is there a way to select axis without cycling among them? Often I need to move Y and Z axis and every time I need to press the Axis button a lot of times to come back from Z to Y

Actually, points 1 and 2 would apply to the UI as well.
Thanks!

1. and 2. You can edit the macros to do what you want. M204 is the goto zero and M216 is the goto safez macro.
3. The UCR201 presses the Probe button on the screen which calls the M31 macro. If you always want to run M20104 then you can copy the M20104 to M31.
* If you have free Fx buttons then assign buttons 220 to 225 (MPGXaxisselect to MPGCaxisselect), see buttons_by_number.htm.
