Hi Jim: Are you controlling it with step/direction? If so, the DIR pin's low active setting will toggle it. Thanks, Art www.artofcnc.ca Videos And Support...
Hi Scott: Its because some JPG's have an odd packing byte at the end, the old routines do not pick it up well. Work is underway on a replacement, hopefully for...
Hi Patrick: Is the charge pump turned on in that soundlogic card? You may want to turn it off just as a check..in case you dont have the charge pump configured...
Hi Mike: Is this in Mill? The offset LED and button in Mill is for Z offsets, not for diameter offsets. Diameter offsets are controlled only by the G41/G42 ...
I have tried this and now get G03's for the spiral cuts, but mach3 now
complains about the arc start and end points !

Hi Pablo: RS485 is simply a faster serial protocol and requires using a serial port RS485 convertor. Alot of ModBus protocols support this mode, but thats a ...
Modbus is a communications protocol. It does not care what hardware you use to actually transfer the data. RS232, RS485 etc are mathods of transferring data....
Art, Yes it could be. The voltage fed back form the Geckos will turn on all the LEDS if the output chip is in high Z mode, which it would be if the charge pump...

So If I understand correctly, to communicate with mach3 I should use modbus over rs232? (over a virtual com port via USB) ... Pablo E. Untroib ... Suipacha 834...
Modbus is a messaging protocol. Rs485 is only a possible (and frequent) physical layer used for modbus. But Modbus can be used over RS232, Modbus plus, TCP/IP,...
The reason why you would use RS485 over RS232 is RS485 is a multirtop driver. In other words you can have more that one device that you are controlling, Jim ...
Pablo: Yes, that should work fine, though I have never tested ModBus over a virtual connection.. Thanks, Art www.artofcnc.ca Videos And Support Forums...
You can use rs232, rs485, Ethernet; whatever your modbus hardware
supports. Sounds like your PIC uses USB?
Note that I tried using a Radio Shack USB...
