Mach 3 Has Never Looked This Good! (CNC Software Part 2) - S03E14

[@chanchhaychhadanoun7125]

I'm a professional CNC machinist, this is absolutely amazing UI to date, any plan of showing us how you go about designing this?

[@Ale_Lab]

It's pretty easy. download Screen4 and try it out. Took me 30 minutes to modify this screening on my desires. Once you understand the principle is pretty easy. Search Screen4 on KZbin and there are a couple of tutorial. You do not need anything more. The software has quite some bugs but that how it is.

[@nickpowers2528]

Its not the software at all... its the operator i was commenting on clearly he's a amateur trying to act professional. .. and i am a professional engineer qualified in all metal manufacturing even Cnc. I can spot a fake !

[@amrmusa7217]

@@Ale_Lab im tring to make my own screen so that i would have an atc on my mill or route would screen4 make that? or machscreen is a better one ?

[@Ale_Lab]

​@@amrmusa7217​Both Mach3 and 4 accept custom screenset. I personally use Mach3 and I am fine with it. Mach4 is the new one but so far I do not have the need to change and if I will then UCCNC is a much better option and more affordable than Mach4. I am making in Mach3 ATC screenset for my mill too :-)

[@ray-charc3131]

Mach3 is great, I used it to design my toolchanging and touch probing screens. It is much easier to be done and learned than LinuxCNC that I also did before. In the mentioning of this video, it said that Mach3 has no two individually inputs for touch probe and tool height setter signals, I agree but this can be easily be rectified by connecting them parallel together as they are normally opened. As they are not used at the same time, so no problem, and they still use some common and individual variables in the program

[@GeneralChangFromDanang]

It looks great. The one thing I would recommend is a "distance to go" window, just so you know if you're going to plow into the table or not.

[@KaveendraVithana]

This is why User interfaces should be designed by UI engineers who knows what the UI is for. Hats off to your work!

[@TheFeralEngineer]

I've been using Verser probing on Linuxcnc. Same basic software. It works well. I had to modify it a little to work with my probing setup (spindle probe and fixed table tool setter, switchable between a relay), but it works well. Physics anonymous - do what i did, get a spdt relay and tie your probes into it. Switch between them with an output and use your pin input for both

[@SolarMillUSA]

how do you make mach3 automatically enable the output for the correct probe? Do you add a line of code to the probing macros?

[@TheFeralEngineer]

@@SolarMillUSA I don't use mach 3

[@craigfourie3485]

That is one beautiful interface! I think it was worth the effort to translate it.

[@moto_MO]

Thank you for this! And to help you with your probe problem, use a double throw switch. One pole hooked to the tool setter, the other the probe. Then just flip the rocker whenever you need to switch between the two. if you want to get fancy, you can get a relay setup and have it do it automatically with a macro and just have it activate the correct relay latching position at the start of the macro. I went the easy route with the switch as i had the switch already. but it is the same amount of work to do either.

[@wolfganglienbacher]

Massive congrats on this redesign! The engineering world gets to see the power of proper design craft. I was personally completely unable to once even touch mach3 because of it's ui. I got here because of your mach4 video, and was constantly giggling at the ui in the background thinking: "what this is mach4? boy it looks pretty dang good compared to mach3" - and then you showed the actual screenshot of mach 4 which gave me a jawdrop followed by a solid multi-minute-facepalm. Again, phenomenal work on the UI! It would be nice if this gave a bit of inspiration to other cnc software makers.

[@Clough42]

Is there any provision for manually touching off a tool? I use a Haimer and plan to touch off tools using a gage pin. So I would need a field to enter the pin diameter and a button to set the tool length to the distance from zero, minus the pin diameter. I didn't see that in your UI.

[@PhysicsAnonymous]

Good input Clough. I think that's something I can add pretty easily. I am working on a new release now. I should have something out in the next few weeks

[@Clough42]

@@PhysicsAnonymous Awesome! I have been playing with MACH4, and I am pretty surprised how not good it actually is.

[@Wolfesmetalfab]

@Physics Anonymous I think your logic on setting up the screen set is spot on and your design sense to make it look good while functioning is also great. I will very likely use your screen set for the mill and modify yours slightly for a our Alpha Wolf CNC Plasma table as well. I always meant to make my own screen set, started once, changed a few things and then never took the time needed to do the whole thing. I did have 1 recommendation so far with watching your explanation, On your probing page the tip diameter, you should input your exact size and make another input box called calibration adjustment (or something like that) and that's were you could put in the amount you need to adjust it to make it accurate, then it would be clear and less confusing I think. Again, great job!

[@slasher102]

I have not used Mach3 for the very reason you have made ane screen set, but looking at what you have done is Brilliant and i take my hat of to you, also thanks very much for making the free, i have wached all your videos and they are all top draw, Keep it up and again i appreciate the work involved.

[@zedsdead7670]

I'm a CNC machinist and this is an amazing UI. I'd rename the M18 to single block and add block skip. Also have single line, single block, and block skip next to each other. I'd also move the start stop pause to a corner, either the bottom left or right, then have the emergency stop at the corner directly above that cluster.

[@Ale_Lab]

@Physics Anonymous !!!Guys please put it in the decription!!! Took me quite some tries to figure it out what was missing. You forgot to say that you need to cipy all the original macros from vers.by/en/ in C:\Mach3\macros\"your Machine profile in used". On the website you can find the installation instruction. You do not need to also install the probe wizard since the macros are already included in the sceenset (they work both for Metric and Imperial). I converted the screenset in Metric and add some features in case someone needs it.

[@MrSjalvklart]

yes metric would be great

13:19 - For touch screens, a single tap or touch - even held down - is considered a click when there's no movement of the touch. to get around it, you should be able to tap twice in succession, with the second tap being held down as the "long click". So "tap" and "tap+hold"

Nice work ! I think I will give it a try. Noticed a typo on the probe screen ‘work peice’ should be ‘work piece’.

[@Chris6000]

Thanks for this, I am using your screenset with some of my own modes Your screenset is the best looking that I have seen

[@ShopBotix]

When using Mach3 and a touch you need to use two fingers to activate a momentary switch like jog buttons. I think the jog buttons are the only momentary (press and hold) buttons in Mach3. The press of the buttons needs to be one finger first then the other (staggered). I always found it weird and limiting but it can also act as a safety feature. Having to use a double touch to jog helps eliminate accidental movements of any axis that can be jogged.

[@EngraverBG]

First of all - UNIQUE JOB !!!! Really brilliant interface! Just one remark: Everywhere you use INCHES, but in my part of the world, we use Milimeters ! So IF it is possible, it will be a good idea, the screenset to read this info from Mach3 and to exchange INCHES in Milimeters in the buttons where they are used.

[@nickp4793]

I also want to add I could never stand the buttons themselves on mach 3. They were all diffenrt colors, and it was hard to tell if one was pressed or not. Thank you for making them all the same color. That helps a lot knowing if one is pressed. (note I'm also colorblind, so its harder for me than most other people). The line you put at the bottom of each button that lights up is ok. I wonder if it can be improved slightly more, to easier tell at a glance if a button is pressed or not.

[@brendinemslie8226]

[@dbalderson89]

As a fellow software developer and interface designer, I thank you. Watching other hobbyists working with Mach3 with that old interface drives me nuts. Functional, but not pleasing or intuitive. As a side note, I find it interesting that so many people who work in software development take hobbies that deal with machining or making. Or in my case, watching content about it, since I don't have the space for all those awesome toys.

[@95GTSpeedDemon]

After a couple hours of trying, i was able to make it work. The round part had a protrusion in the middle, which the probe would hit. I had to get the travel distance x,y,&z correct so it would clear and look at the appropriate distance. Its not a set and forget function.

[@moto_MO]

@@95GTSpeedDemon if you go through the documentation in the vers.by site it explains it. or you can go through the code in the edit button option. But i had the same problem too at one point and it had to do with the edge length and xy clearance values if i remember right.

@@iSuperMC there is a option in the configuration window that scales the UI to the screen size, it's not perfect but gets the job done (you have to restart Mach 3 in order to apply this change).

[@ernstaardal7747]

hei this looks great but which screen resolution do you use?

[@carlpetitt2241]

Nice work, but as a fellow UI guy, I noticed that the section that contains "Probe Active" and "Dwelling" and "Constant Velocity" appears to just be a display of status, either the probe is active or it isn't, for example. But the other (identical) 'buttons' above and below, such as Jogging and Set Tool Height appear to be action buttons rather than displays of status. This is very confusing to the operator -- what is clickable / actionable vs. what is simply displaying a state or status? I found I had this same confusion lower in the UI, with Speed and Tool for example. I think you should be very consistent in terms of visual cues regarding what is a button that can be pressed or manipulated by the user, vs. simply a display of status. My .02 cents

[@inspiration7203]

I loaded PA Interface_v05.set, it doesn’t work for my 1920x1080 screen. Any suggestions?

You can create a brain to have input1 trigger the probe input. Work around for not having two probe inputs. I can't wait to try this screenset out!

[@PhysicsAnonymous]

I tried that, and had too many delay problems causing some inaccurate measurements. I may have been doing something wrong, or it could be a bad combo with my ESS controller.

Can a brain also be programmed to switch the probe pin number? Because that would be easy to add to the screenset

Hey PA! This video just scratched the surface of the probing section. To me that one of, if not the largest, part of your screen design. Would you do a follow-up with an in-depth look at the probing and how it's setup? I've picked up you set and switched to it but it seems like none of the routines work correctly.

[@paste120]

Do you have a copy of those macros you can host somewhere? The vers.by link seems dead :(

[@Spirit532]

The only proper solution, short of dedicated controllers, is to switch to LinuxCNC. Why LinuxCNC? Because Windows is *extremely* non-deterministic and non-realtime. This means if Windows decides it wants to chug on something internal for a few hundred milliseconds, your machine will just _halt_, because Mach3 is generating the motion commands, even when, in your case, they're sent over ethernet, and the stepgen is not in windows. A machine controller must be done either completely in hardware(and yours is not), or running a deterministic hard realtime OS, which is what LinuxCNC with an RT kernel was made to do. Not to mention *huge* expansion possibilities, rigid tapping, proper probing(believe me, you're not). Oh, and you don't have to spend the time making a nice GUI, because there's at least two great ones. Tormach's PathPilot is reskinned LinuxCNC as well. Cool design though.

[@kmcwhq]

Agree 100%

[@wedgeoflemon]

The Okuma, Citizen, and Hurco I've run have all seemed to be on Windows. Am I mistaken?

[@Spirit532]

​@@wedgeoflemon Only their UIs run on Windows. In the background, there's a hardware motion controller that processes all the code, inputs, and generates outputs. That's why you see nearly vintage hardware(single-core Celerons) in some controllers like earlier Sinumeriks, yet they perform on-par, if not faster than a modern computer with LinuxCNC. A similar setup would be LinuxCNC with one of Mesa Electronics' PCIe FPGA cards, but the code processing would still be done in Linux in this case.

[@MrDaniell1234]

You can get a real-time version of windows.

[@telecrate]

On the downside, LinuxCNC probably has even worse UI(s) than Mach3/Mach4. And that includes gmoccapy. PathPilot is proprietary, so not officially available unless you have a Tormach CNC machine.

[@SQ_og]

Good work. What monitor stand is that?

[@MakeTechPtyLtd]

Regarding windows touchscreen. I've had to switch "tablet mode" on IIRC with some issues I had with a big multi screen rig. That might help you. I've just uploaded a video covering Clearpath servos. The HLFB pin can be set to have various outputs. This may be usable for homing. Look at ASG (All Systems Go). Maybe a combination HLFB and a traditional limit switch in series would signal a homed state, only when the hard stop homing operation has been completed, and also not trigger a homed state if HLFB triggers during normal operation. Keep up the great work. -Ken

[@jimviau327]

That's a really nice analysis. MACH3 .vs. MACH4 . I wish you do one comparing LinuxCNC as well. Didn't see it in your videos. Great job. Thanks

Great videos! I am primarily a metal worker but am in the process of building a CNC router and was in the process of picking between Mach 3 and Mach 4. You have helped me make that decision. If you are interested in doing another video along these lines how about a step back and describe your computer hardware setup. Two things in particular, the PC you are using isn’t available at Amazon but it has way more processing power/memory than Mach 3 requires. What do you think is the minimum I should look for to run Mach 3? Mach 3 requires a parallel port, what is your hardware/plugin solution for that?

[@TheFeralEngineer]

It doesn't require a pp, you can get an Ethernet smooth stepper. Mach software isn't really the best choice, imo. I've used it for over a decade and it was a frustrating rollercoaster. I'm now running LinuxCNC. It's free, it's heavily supported and still in full development. The probing software is the same as PA is using and also free. If you don't have a computer with a PP you need to decide on which route you want to go, because breakout boards for Mach and lcnc aren't compatible, but if I had to do it over again, I would've gone with lcnc from the very beginning. Lcnc is such a compact program, you can run it off of a pi, basically.

I have been playing about with the screen-set and find its a nice looking frontend although since i don't use a tool probe but do use multiple tools i cant find a way of setting the tools, i normally use a mechanical vertex zero setter and it works ok with the standard screen-set. i just don't see a 'set tool offset' button. also i see no access to the tool table. then for spindle speed, there is no commanded speed display so if i use spindle override i cannot keep track of what my spindle speed is (i don't have a spindle index sensor) i also fail to see how to access the tool table. could that be added as a tab with a manual tool offset set button and some big jog buttons for those with fat fingers and a small touchscreen? thank you for sharing and thank you for the quality content
