SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / PMDX-424 encoder spindle RPM not working in Mach4 Lathe
« on: May 18, 2018, 01:55:00 PM »
I have a quadrature encoder, with index, installed and connected to PMDX-424.  I have reviewed the configuration notes and double checked the settings in Mach4 and PMDX plugin configurations multiple times.  In spite, Mach4 lathe will not display actual spindle RPM.  Please tell me what I am missing.  Mach4 build: 3233.  Smart Bob plugin: 0.52.254.  Firmware: 0.58.205

SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / PMDX spindle configuration not saving in Mach 4
« on: November 14, 2017, 02:48:43 PM »
Why is the PMDX spindle configuration not consistently saving in Mach 4?  I am running a PWM spindle (external - not using PMDX 407)  I configured Smartbob for PWM spindle.  Sometimes it saves and works when I launch Mach 4; sometimes it doesn't.  If I forget to check it every time I launch Mach 4, it's a 50-50 proposition.  I have broken several bits because of this problem.  This morning it was a new expensive carbide bit.  What's going on??
