Re: MACH4 and Lathe Spindle encoder
Yes, it can work with an encoder or an index pulse.? Check this out: https://www.cnc4pc.com/blog/post/mach4-lathe-using-the-ethernet-smooth-stepper-and-the-c82-breakout-board

Re: Gecko G540
Thank you Steve. That's the information I was looking for. In fact I'm surprised that they are stating 10V for the input supply voltage since even rail to rail op-amps don't quite get to the rail

Re: Gecko G540
Well, sort of...... The circuitry works better at 10 or 12 volts, but it will function at 5 volts. The issue is that the output range is limited to between approximately Gnd plus about 0.3 volts and

I realize this isn't completely a MACH question but many MACH users have G540's connected to their systems. The VFD pins are the ones I'm wondering about. The specs say optically isolated PWM. Is this

Re: MACH4 and Lathe Spindle encoder
Nothing that I noticed, but I didn¡¯t really try to find any differences either. Threading (once they finally made it work) was fine with either method. Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2023 6:03 PM To:

Re: MACH4 and Lathe Spindle encoder
It's just I had a question on how hard to migrate from a MACH3 1 PPR to a MACH4 system and whether mechanical and electrical changes were required to use MACH4 due to a quadrature encoder requirement

MACH4 and Lathe Spindle encoder
Can MACH4 Lathe still work with only a 1PPR spindle sensor or does it now require a full quadrature encoder and Index pulse?

I have found that if your computer has trouble letting you use an Arduino comm port rebooting the system fixes it for me. Sent: March 12, 2023 4:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MachCNC]
