Re: Mach3 - weird coodinate shift with inch/mm gcode change
Sorry for the late response. But I got it figured out, well, at least the mechanical part.
For some reason the mach3 won't take any backlash compensation values.
I tested the backlash using a dial indicator gauge, I'm getting readings of 0.03-0.06mm distributed between all these axes. However, when I enter the values in the mach3 backlash settings nothing happens.
I have tried it using the default 20% all the way to 100% without any changes within the dial gauge reading.
Is any of you guys is using the backlash compensation?
I am using pokeys57cnc as a motion controller.
As always, thanks in advance!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8fa49e10b4.jpg
Re: Mach3 - weird coodinate shift with inch/mm gcode change
I use Backlash Compensation in Mach3 and it works perfectly.
You're not just using the latest version thinking that will be best are you?
It isn't, the versions after the company changed hands are variations that range from Inexperienced Mash Up through to Truly Not Worth Using.
Just so you know ;-)

No. I am not on the latest version.
Just to make sure that I'm doing it the right way, I shouldn't get the same numbers when I retest it, right?
