Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Button to offset move

How many hole positions are you wanting to return to?

If its just a few you could set some #vars to the position use #1500 to #1599 or you could set the G59.x fixture values using a G10 L command or one of many other ways.

An explanation of what you are trying to achieve would help.

Is it the one you used with the Novosun board?

You could set a button to set X & Y axis to the offset values and move to the position with a something like :-

Put this in the button scrip:-

Code "G92 X2. Y2." (set axis to new values)
Code "G00 G90 X0 Y0" (move to zero)

All axis in Mach are blended together at the selected feed rate so you need something like an Arduino with custom code to do what you need.

Are you running in demo mode or with a licence file?

Do you have a limit switch and the home switch on the same input, if so disable all the limit switches and see if that helps.

Yes you can put .062 over .066 but try this first.

Post your code and a drawing of what you are trying to cut.

Check you have the correct circle mode set incremental or absolute, this can be set in the config or in the g-code using G91.1/G90.1

I do not see how that can work, all the internal code pointers will be screwed up.

What are you using the encoder for?

In most cases you need A and B to give you the count, the Z channel can be used with the homing but you also need a switch to say you are close to the home position and then use the Z channel to find the exact point.  So you need a motion card that can handle precise homing or 2 stage homing or slow down homing or what ever they call it on there system.
