Hi Brian, Please tell us where we are in the grand scheme of Mach 4.? Can we expect a package comparable to Tormach's new conversational version of Linux for both mill and lathe? Of course I own the Mill Wizard, but that does nothing like the Tormach program for lathe.? Will we see Mach 4 with probing sequences built-in, set-up? Many of us bought on faith, please let us in on what to expect, or is this it. Thanks, Jerry "Ozzie" Pryor

Geez, Ozzie....I'd be happy if I could
just get Mach4 to show up on the screen more than once per reboot.....:)

Now on another note if you are running the industrial version we can
now run the "Fanuc standard" Renishaw Macro's so for users that are
into that level they can used what is considered to be the best in

Hi Brian:
?
I posted on the Machsupport Forum about this.
I am using an ESS, but before I even et to that point, things go haywire.
?
-After install of Mach4, when I try to run
it, it says that "the application cannot run because the configuration is
incorrect". Based on a tip from someone on the Machsupport forum, i
installed Gearotic, and then manually ran the VC++ redistributable install from
Gearotic, and was then able to run Mach4GUI. But after running the GUI a few
times, it started to not appear on teh screen, that is, there would be a
process called Mach4GUI, but I would never see it on my monitor.
?
-So in that state, I could run wxmach, and
it does appear on my screen, but as soon as I try to setup the ESS plugin,
Mach4 crashes.

Hello Andy,
Is there any chance I could remote into that machine to see if I can
see what is going wrong? Very sorry I didn't see that on the forum,
I have been working on code and testing, My forum time is very
limited and I count on direct contact so please feel free to contact
me directly if you have an issue! I want them fixed!!!!

Quick answer on probing:
?
Center and Edge in both X or Y
direction(or both)
?
Top
?
Center of hole or pocket (X or Y or both)
?
I have been using Dave Bagby's excellent MachStdMill
screenset on Mach3, and it is really useful to have a good selection of
built-in probing routines. Sadly, I don't think that MachStdMill will get
rewritten for Mach4.....

Hi Brian & Jerry,
May I butt in here please? With probing, I would just love it if we could select to start off by finding the centre of a pre-cut hole and then set Z zero from the base through that hole.? I get to clean up a lot of laser cut plates. They come to me with the large holes laser cut. Using the centres of those holes as datums I have to clean up the hole surfaces and then drill and mill as required all the other markings.
Thanks for listening, Russell Dunn Ferlach Austria

Hi Jerry,
We are starting on the wizards for turn as soon as we get the new version out. We added pocketing of any shape with islands too the wizards but it is very untested at this point. This was the last "to do" we had before turn... The fun part of this is that we are going to use this same code to produce the Lathe cut path so you can turn any shape in the Turn wizards! This is going to make for a very powerful set of wizards in Turn. Mach motion tested turn and they where shocked how nice it is working and we are not calling it finished.
There are many ways to do Probe.. what are you thinking? Find Center and edge? or are you thinking tool length probe? I have a guy I can pay to get the scripts or Gcode to do this so I just need some clear picture of what you think you need.
Now on another note if you are running the industrial version we can now run the "Fanuc standard" Renishaw Macro's so for users that are into that level they can used what is considered to be the best in the world for Probing parts.
Thanks

Hi Brian, Probing: Milling Machine; I have a screen that I was ABLE TO WRITE IN VB, that uses 14 sequences, none of them tool length.? Outside any side-4 Outside any corner- 4 Inside a hole -1 Inside two edges Y -2 Inside two edges X -2 Along one edge to determine the angle of an edge vs X -1 This last one allows you to rotate the axis of Mach? Where appropriate the probes give a size measurement. The screen allows you to set probing speed, horizontal travel distance, vertical travel distance, and diameter of the probe. As for Z, I find I can do that faster than a probe using a small adjustable parallel; jog down close, measure, enter in DRO. As for Lathe; I made an insulated tool holder and have several probe sequences that you and I went round with a couple years ago. They work fine now except for one small bug.
These are all very basic and would be nice if something at least this good were included. I think there are more sophisticated sequences around, like probing at a good speed, backing off a bit and then slow probing for greater accuracy, and probably neat stuff I've never seen. I'm told that Solidcam has a bunch of neat probes.
I have a screen that is an improvement of AutoMill or Powermill or whatever it was called. I have a screen that runs Y code on A, very simple, can use G2,3, uses "Swap Axis" and "Scaling"
I think a screen that combines a camera view and "Copycat" is of huge value.
I've looked at LUA a few times and and I'm certain I'll never create a screen with it, so the screens that come with Mach 4, or those I can buy for little money will be it.
Thanks, Jerry?

I know you didn’t ask, but I use probing all the time, so I will offer anyway, feel free to ignore J
I use HOSS’ probing and ProbeIt. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The block which gives you four corners of options. Plus inside of circle are very useful. Having the ability to change the size of the probe tip is important, But we defiantly need Probing.

Hi Jerry,
We are starting on the wizards for turn as soon as we get the new version out. We added pocketing of any shape with islands too the wizards but it is very untested at this point. This was the last "to do" we had before turn... The fun part of this is that we are going to use this same code to produce the Lathe cut path so you can turn any shape in the Turn wizards! This is going to make for a very powerful set of wizards in Turn. Mach motion tested turn and they where shocked how nice it is working and we are not calling it finished.
There are many ways to do Probe.. what are you thinking? Find Center and edge? or are you thinking tool length probe? I have a guy I can pay to get the scripts or Gcode to do this so I just need some clear picture of what you think you need.
Now on another note if you are running the industrial version we can now run the "Fanuc standard" Renishaw Macro's so for users that are into that level they can used what is considered to be the best in the world for Probing parts.
Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian,
Please tell us where we are in the grand scheme of Mach 4.
Can we expect a package comparable to Tormach's new conversational version of Linux for both mill and lathe? Of course I own the Mill Wizard, but that does nothing like the Tormach program for lathe.
Will we see Mach 4 with probing sequences built-in, set-up?
Many of us bought on faith, please let us in on what to expect, or is this it.
Thanks,
Jerry "Ozzie" Pryor

Should be part of what is added for Probe.. I am thinking about
doing the probe with Gcode rather then scripting...
Would you all feel better about changing Gcode rather then doing
scripting? It would not be "normal" Gcode, it would be full of #'s
and [vars]
Thanks

Hi Brian & Jerry,
May I butt in here please?
With probing, I would just love it if we could
select to start off by finding the centre of a pre-cut hole and
then set Z zero from the base through that hole.
I get to clean up a lot of laser cut plates. They
come to me with the large holes laser cut. Using the centres of
those holes as datums I have to clean up the hole surfaces and
then drill and mill as required all the other markings.
Thanks for listening,

No, no, no!!!! I vote for not creating more obscure GCode hacks. Scripting
is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier and MUCH MUCH MUCH more powerful. Anyone who can
deal with that goofy macroB nonsense should be able to do scripting in their
sleep.

Brian, Besides finding X – Y - Z for work location please keep in mind that probing is also used for generating 3D maps.

Either is ok.
Variable g code is much easier to maintain, and more universal, and will work for everyone.
A few comments on what the variables are, and
1. ANYONE can change them to suit their own machines.
They dont/wont need to necessarily understand all the gcode.
2-3 samples from different users, and we will have a universal base, well supported, not depending on machine variables.
