Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Thanks Tom, That makes sense. I think I'll skip this to avoid feedrate confusion. BTW, rolling back then rolling forward the windows updates seems to have fixed the keyboard latency issue. All this being said, I'm very happy with the MPG and can't believe that I waited as long as I did to install on...

Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Well now I feel like a moron, for some reason I assumed that factor would be an int. This will be a simple fix. on a slightly different note, I have a crazy thought. I have an extra position on my pendant for a 4th axis that does not exist on my mill. I'd like to use that as a 25% feed rate switch. ...

Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Hi Tom, Things are looking pretty good, except for the factor. I set factor to 1 for my X1 increment and the machine moves by 4 encoder counts for every single click of the wheel. I'm not certain why this is happening, but I'd really like it to move by 2 counts. I've attached the program that runs t...

Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Thanks Tom, This helped me out a lot. 40 and 41 did not toggle, which lead me to putting the MPG on a scope... turns out I had a broken ground wire. MPG now works and I just a few minor things to clean up in the MPG service routine. Just a couple of quick questions... what is the "Factor" variable i...

Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Hi Tom, I have everything wired up for the MPG (link below), however I can't see the encoder counts for my selected input axis (6) change when I turn the wheel. After reading the documentation for the line receiver chip on the kanalog I decided it was safe to connect directly to it. so the MPG dial ...

Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Hi Tom, I just noticed that JP2 on the kanalog has a bunch of encoder inputs, but they are differential line receivers... I have a couple of these https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn75176a.pdf laying around... I think the inputs you have on the Kanalog are standard rs422 line receiver, My plan is t...

Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Thanks Tom, I'm really glad I asked, looks like my mapping now becomes: chA+ JP7 Pin 13 chB+ JP7 Pin 14 X j15 IN2 note, XYZ can all be low in the off position Y j15 IN3 Z j15 IN4 X10 j15 IN5 .001" X100 j15 IN6 .01" I was hoping to this was going to be an easy addition, but it looks like I'm going to...

Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Thanks Tom, Windows is being very stubborn about not accepting the driver outside of test mode. I may try a complete re-install, but there are a few more things I want to try first. Also, I'm not certain what you mean by "(make sure to include software option)". I've been removing the driver from th...

Re: Erratic Z motion Jogging though Mach 3

Hi Tom, I installed 4.35h, but it appears that windows is unhappy with the driver if it's not in test mode. I've attached some images of the issue when out of test mode. I can also confirm that it is not the keyboard causing this issue. I may try replacing my USB hub next. Thanks, Brian DeviceMagage...
