When moving the machine manually, when we click on the "visual interface" (top camera view) the camera moves much more than in the last software version we used.
Questions: • Did the way this motion works indeed change when clicking on the top camera image? • Is there a setting somewhere in the software to control how pixels are mapped to the nozzle/camera motion?
Opinions: • We liked the way it used to work and found it quicker to set things up. The current method does seem to facilitate getting around the machine faster though, just not making small motions accurately.
This is not a problem with speed but a problem with pixels for movement calibration. When using the vision system and we set a 5mm window, the window appears dramatically smaller than it should by a factor of around 10.
Also I believe you told me that I want both
V2.04-CPU 64code is 3 longer V2.06-CPU Total reset check limit pulse data
unchecked in the CPU dialog. Is this correct?
Our machine can run with V2.046 according to your email? Is this correct?
We switched back to V2.044 software - visual problems with down camera seem to be solved.
Further descriptions of symptoms: Machine finds origins correctly Machine finds fiducials correctly
IN THE FEEDER SETUP Machine will go to Camera to Feeder Test - correctly Machine will go to Nozzle to Feeder Test - correctly IN THE MNT FILE Machine will go to Camera to Part Coordinate - correctly Machine will go to PCB origin correctly Machine will recognize fiducials correctly
When we click start to start mounting: First part is in E1 feeder Machine checks fiducials successfully then heads to West and South corner to look for part inexplicably. This behavior was in 2.046 and 2.044
I started a new thread about this problem. Just to close out this thread, the (second) problem turned out to be the checkbox Strategy -> Auto Nozzle Changer - should be unchecked for all humans who are not using a nozzle changer :)
The first problem with the visual interface moving the head too much for mouse clicks was cured by moving our old V2.044 config.ini file into V2.046. So make sure you do move those fig and ini files into the new folder (as directed in the downloads section) into the new folder when updating. It would VERY HANDY to have a detailed readme_install.txt file regarding proper installation procedure though.
Normally software upgrade is as simple as copy the EXE File, and maybe some additional files you find in zip, in current SMT folder and starting EXE file. If configuration files not from same version maybe upgrading configuration fails.
Most important rule to read in download area is: PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE INSTALL!
