If i write only M7 in the makro, Mist will turn on, but i can only jog with the MPG after pressing cycle stop. And it works only if Coolant is on Auto on the VCP.

Need help with Makros for the WMPG
I would like to have one makro for turning off/on Auto coolant and one for turning on/off Mist Cooling, working like the buttons on the VCP, so I can switch the Mist Coolant while a job is running.
Mist cooling is set to OUTPUT1 but M94 /61 or simply M7 will not work the way I want...

Re: Acorn Controller: Z and 4th Axis Closed Loop Stepper Not Working
Hi Uwe, I set my pulses per rev to 1600 when I was using my conventional steppers vs the closed looped ones. I did set the pulses per rev to 4000 when using the closed loop steppers. I also tried all values below 4000 and set the appropriate dip switches on the CL86Y drivers but still no movement. ...

Re: Day 11 and it runs....
wow! great post nice to see and read, nice shop! Thank you :) My shop is only a small room in the basement of my house, I have everything to carry downstairs by hand. Thats the reason for a wobbly benchtopmill and not retrofitting an older professional machine like Haas. When I decided to build an ...

Re: Relay basics
DC Solenoid hookup is described here:

The buttons are configured, just assign the function in the Wizard to the used Out on the relaybord and it works.

Re: Day 11 and it runs....
Today i put everything in the cabinet, installed NPN proximity switches for all axes, and tested homing and did a testrun.... After 10 times running the program the machine hits the endposition with under 0,005mm, no backlash dialed in the software. Quite happy with this :) https://youtu.be/w5NI0K2u...
