This will do it... You just need to change the UserLED to some other LED...

Sub Main()'//this must be at the start of the function

 If (GetUserLED (1100)= true)Then'//something to show that you don't need to run the Macro
 Exit Sub'//Get OUT and don't run the code!
 End If
 
 
If GetLed (808)=1 Then 'Std Y axis home LED

DoOEMButton (250) 'Stop Jog X
DoOEMButton (251) 'Stop Jog Y
DoOEMButton (252) 'Stop Jog Z
DoOEMButton (253) 'Stop Jog A
DoOEMButton (254) 'Stop Jog B
CODE "(HOME MACHINE BEFORE USE)"


Else
DoOEMButton (290) 'Allow Jog X
DoOEMButton (291) 'Allow  Jog Y
DoOEMButton (292) 'Allow  Jog Z
DoOEMButton (293) 'Allow  Jog A
DoOEMButton (294) 'Allow  Jog B

CODE "(Ready to go)"

End If

End Sub'//This is the End of the SubMain function

Main'//Put this at the end of the code file

Lew,
You can change the screen in screen designer and that is about it..

The hyphens in your code must be in your Gcode file and you will have to delete them out on your own... or you can edit your post in your Cam software.

Thanks

Roo,
I have been thinking about taking a ride down to work with you on your lathe... what do you think about that? I would like to work with  you to get the extended IO working as well as the threading! There is just so much to do and I know I am not going to have the time that is needed to wire up a test stand

Tell me if you think that would work for you?

Thanks
Brian

I think you need to download the newest Rev of Mach3 and that should fix the problem

Thanks

You also could have a motor coupling that is slipping... and or electrical noise.

Part of your problem may be that you are at 800 steps per inch... this is very low and can make the system seem odd...

Other then that all is good and I see a very small pause but nothing that is very long at all.. You were saying 1/3 of  a sec. I am seeing about 1/10...
