I have problem Spindle Override % DRO. I want
set that DRO via ModBus.

My system works something like this:

CuTouch logic module read spindle override pot
and saves value to D-register. Mach3 read that
D-reg via Modbus and set value to Spindle Override % DRO.

I can see from Brain view thats working ok, but
Spindle Override % DRO stand still... What is problem?

And I have same problem with Jog feedrate, brain
output shows right value but it do not change anything...

I'm very, very tired of Mach3... :mad: Please help soon, my
head is exploding...

Regards, J Thelen Finland

Make sure you are updated to the latest version of Mach3

Hi,
That should work. I have some info on my web-site (http://www.henriksplace.se/CNC/CNC_Mach3_modbus_1.html) that shows how I did exactly that (and more) with a CUBLOC CB405 module. It worked fine at the time.

Also, I don't think it matters but do you have Mach3 out of E-Stop mode?

I have read and I obey your instructions, but no help...
By to way, thanks great site, it helps me lot!

I use latest version of Mach3: V3.00. I think Mach3
is problem, similar topics is in Mach3 support forum...
I'll try use macros to avoid problem until
new release comes out...

Is there any function like MODIO? I mean function what I
can use macro programs. And is there Mach3 customizing
documents? Only what I have found is some old
"Customizing Mach2"-manual and print year is something 1910 :)

Thanks afterwards!
