Re: Mach4 Cnc Crack

Yes, you can use OpenCV to grab the video/image data and use the crosses as a detection object in OpenCV. Mach4 has Lua scripting capabilities, so you can create a script that takes the coordinates from the OpenCV image and set the machine's zero point accordingly.

[468] Hello Dear, I would like to build my cnc that is controlling by camera. There are 4 crosses on the sheet that is marked on laser. I need to make part zeroing according to 3 points on the part. I would like to ask, Does mach4 support camera that is make zeroing automatically?

[468] I wanted to know if I could use a computer with 64 bits windows installed (with Parallel port in the mainboard) or not. Thanks
If the Shark HD520 has separate drivers for each stepper motor, you will only need to change the controller that connects the computer to the drivers. If the Shark HD520 has the controller and driver all on one board, then you will need to get a controller and one driver for each stepper motor. You can determine if your electronics have independent drivers by opening the electronics enclosure and checking for three boxes each having wires that connect to a stepper motor (or stepper motor connector.
In Mach4, you need to calibrate your axes so that real-world measurements are the same as the measurements for your axes' position.
Mach4 has a wizard that allows you to calculate the steps per unit for an axis. This is a manual operation, so you will need to use the existing steps per unit in the axis you wish to change.
Go to motor tuning to grab this number and copy it to the clipboard. Now go to the wizards menu and "select wizard". Scroll through the wizards until you see "StepsPerUnitCalculator" wizard and accept that wizard.
A new dialog box will appear with fields that you can use to determine the new steps per unit for the desired axis. The incremental move button is available so you can test new values calculated for the steps per unit for the axis. Use the "move distance" along with the "move velocity" to incrementally move to determine move distances.
