I have now bought a special CZ electronic that i cann add fixed probe plus normal probe to the one available DDCS port for probe - is it same way you did on yours ? Still not sure about the process of normal probing and then tool change how to set and work correctly in the DDCS.
@@weitlingD3P 1. fixed Probe 2. manual x y z probe how did you connect yours 2 probes together ? in the video you zero Z one time in DDCS config -or need to do each time the part Z high changes ? still confused about this
Perhaps you can help me troubleshoot my DDCSV 3.1. I have 0,0 set on my lower left hand side which is where I set my project, bottom left hand corner of my board. When I start the job the x and y axis goes clear to the other side of the table before starting any cutting which is beyond the size of my project. Do you have any suggestions?
I think I figured out what it's doing, it seems to be enlarging my project 5 to 10 times more than it should be. For example if I want something that's 100 mm by 100 mm I need to design it on a 5 mm by 5 mm for it to come out close to the right size. It's got to be a setting in the DDCS controller. Any ideas?
Hello I have it in the G-code I add M6 for tool change. I use Carveco maker and I have made a postprocess file that add this automatically when I compile my project to gcode in real the code is as eg. T2M6 T2 is the tool i selected in Carveco M6 is the command for tool change. You can also use M0 that will make a pause and wait for you to resume the code.
Hi Weitling Thank you for this very helpful video which has enabled me to set up the Tool Length probe on my milling machine which is controlled by a DDCS v3.1. The speed which the spindle goes down onto the Z axis sensor is 100mm/minute as you say in the video, and is not controlled by the line 2011. In your video you say that this speed is controlled by a soft routine, and that you changed the speed to 150mm/minute. How did you do that?
Hi and thanks for watching. If you connect a USB drive to the ddcs, you can then copy the root directory to the USB. I dont remember the filename but it must be probe ore something similar. Load that file into NotePad and modify the line refereng to the Z axis.
Sorry it took me a while to get back. I did as you suggested, and it worked very well. I have gone on to add a 2nd cycle of the probe so now I have the tool initially approaching at 500mm/ minute, moving back then approaching slower. I will need to make a sprung touch plate as the collision at 500mm/s might damage my carbide cutters. Thank you so much for your help@@weitlingD3P
@@weitlingD3P Thank you for the fast Feedback. So I choosed not to upgrade. Ordered the QueenAnt pro. Will shipped today. Please continue with your nice vids.
Hello@@weitlingD3P . Some controllers like Mach3 have the capability to map the surface to be machined and identify how much it is out of level and consider this unevenness during work. Here in Brazil we call it auto-levelling. I was wondering if the DDCS V3 controller has this possibility using probe.
Hello. You must look for what is activating the reset. Maybe you did wire something wrong. : DDCS V3.1 controller need two power supplies to work properly. One is for controller system one is for IO port. Only when with IO power is supplied, the Input and Output signals, the MPG can have power to work. Also check Pls check if the Reset signal of the MPG is active, you can take off the MPG or set a reserve value of #429 in the setup menu

Still not sure about the process of normal probing and then tool change how to set and work correctly in the DDCS.
I think so you can try the probe, and see if it works. Regarding Tool Change, This is not implemented in the DDCS V3.1

2. manual x y z probe
how did you connect yours 2 probes together ?

@@Xtremecomposite please find a detailed manual by using the link below. 1drv.ms/b/s!AgaOae17V8Hihf04Mfc9zTEh5rxCeg?e=3ltCyj
maybe you know how to make a macro for tool measuring everytime at start of operation ?
God point have been thinking of that as well

I see the controller ask to insert the tool to proceed. How did you do that? cos mine doesn't stop for me to change the tool manually

Hello sir... DDCS v3.1 can make slave axis or not...? or have other idea for slave..?
Hello It has not Slave axis But I conected 2 stepper motor to one stepper driver

Hello Mate
Thanks for this video.
Would you recommend upgrading to v4.1? Would it be worth it.
I need your opinion on that so much!
Hello Selim. No need for upgrade. Thanks for watching

Congratulations on Is it possible to do auto-leveling with this DDCSV3 controller? Have you tried auto-leveling?
