The optical sensor used here has 3 outputs (plus, minus and signal), the signal output from my sensor has 5v and can be fed directly to the probe pin of the controller I use (pockey 57cnc). Whether this works for you depends on your controller.

I use a Pockey57cnc with Mach4 and Polabs Plasmasense for THC

Hi, I am not sure what gcode files you mean? The gcode files for the parts you can make by yourself with the step files (link in video description). I dont have gcode files for the center point detection, this is an inbuilt function from Mach4.

@@MarkGyver ok. Tks man.

The aluminum part...

@@alexm66 And at the end the probe is dancing in the spindle :-)

I use Sheetcam with the rotary plugin.

Thanks. You can get it with mcAxisGetPos(mInst, AxisNumber, &XAxisPos); and then send it via serial. Look in the API Reference in the doc folder from Mach4 there you will find all the commands.

@@MarkGyver I'm a c# coder but I'm very new to Arduino and ModBus. Would you mind sharing a code snipped for just one axis so I can do the rest. Thanks in advance.

@@skorkmaz Yes send me a PM on my email i send you the code back. This code is not working with modbus it is over serial connection. [email protected]

@@MarkGyverI sent you an email.

Hey @@MarkGyver, did you get my email?

Thanks. I'm not sure how fast I can put my next video online by milling. If you are interested in the machine, there are also a few videos from the manufacturer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIaohWt4qqZ0jZI

Thanks. The cutting area is 2x1m z height is around 40cm mine is so high that I have enough space for my rotary axis. Yes there are some issues i filled the tubes with special concrete and made some improved rollers, now it better. I use Pokey57cnc with Mach4.

Thanks. I also think that this axis still has a lot of potential in the future a tool changer is planned with 4 tool places and a drill chuck. If the configuration of the post processor works, milling and turning operations are carried out at the same time

Da kennst sich aber jemand aus ;-) Vielleicht mach ich mal einen Kanal auf Deutsch aber Momentan ist der größte Zuschaueranteil nicht Deutschsprachig

Wieso dicke Hose? Hab auch eine von mh5, war damals das beste Preisleistungsverhältnis für meine verfügbaren Finanziellen Mittel.

Hallo, ja das Problem kenne ich nur zu gut. Ich hatte zuerst auch nur einen Endschalter pro Achse, mittlerweile habe ich pro Motor einen Endschalter und fahre somit mit jeder Seite immer auf die korrekte position damit der rechte Winkel gegeben ist.

@@MarkGyver du Fuchs! Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es die Möglichkeit gibt zwei Portale so auszurichten. Hast du den PoKeys 57CNC Controller dafür verwendet? Und dann habe ich noch ne Frage zum THC: Spricht da irgendwas gegen den Proma compact THC SD? Der müsste ja relativ unproblematisch sein. Da hat man zumindest keine Echtzeitprobleme und ist etwas unabhängiger von der Steuerungssoftware.

Ja ich verwende das Pockey57cnc wenn du die Verkabelung der Endschalter machst musst du mit diesem Board aufpassen das z.b Endschschalter für den Motor 0 auch beim Port 0 angschlossen wird denn das lässt sich Softwaremässig nicht ändern das dies lt polabs fix zugewiesene Pins sind. Ja ich denke gegen den Proma spricht nichts dagegen. Ich selbst verwenden den THC Controller von Polabs aber den kann ich nicht empfehlen hatte von Anfang am nur Probleme damit.

Thanks, i use a Paulimot PM4000 lathe.

You find the link in the video description

In want 3d desing from fusion or SOLIDWORKS step pleaas

Hello, the parts where you see the acrylic are simply attached with strong double-sided adhesive tape.

Thank you for the information. I have been earthing the table and the rest of the components some time ago using an earthing rod, but this did not lead to the desired result. In the meantime I have a milling machine that worked flawlessly at first until I used a longer usb cable and had exactly the same errors as with the plasma when the spindle was running. It was clear to me that the problem came from the USB cable. Then I exchanged the usb for an ethernet cable and up to now the milling machine and the plasma cutter worked without any problems

@@MarkGyver np, glad you got it going.

Hi, i use Mhoch5 cnc machine from Germany. No sorry the script is an inbuilt function in Mach4.

Thank you I'm glad you like my video. I have the last few years always realized different projects ranging from electronics, programming, cnc machining to metal construction. For each project I have informed myself in forums, google and youtube and learned a lot while building itself. I think the most important thing is learning by doing.

@@MarkGyver that's exactly what I've been doing guess I'm on the right track now I just have to start remembering to record what I do thank you again

The state of the buttons is sent via a serial connection from Arduino to Mach4 and from Mach4 it is also sent back via this.
