That is saying it will not go past 0.0 with the tool. This can be changed in the parameter file. The guys are working on building a release so I will send this to them.

Ahh... Maybe and I say that because we have updated to Lua 5.3 and I may be using some of that functionality. But you can try it! If it starts on fire and the computer jumps 3 feet in the air we can put the other version back in and update later.

We soon will be taking over a version of the Lathe wizards from MachMotion (I will be the one working on the code). So I will be able to add some cool features. Here is some code that I made that will rough a lathe part that will also be making it into the wizards.

I do see a bug in the G83 pecks if they peck is in the positive vector. I will get this sorted

Okay I may not understand what your saying but what is a "-ve", Negative value ? I did check and you can have a negative r value and stop is working. The only other thing I can think of is that you have your R set to a lower point than your Z depth.

I tested the stop button and it is stopping. Also use the Rapid override and the feed override! They can save you! Bring the tool in slow and smooth. It is how I test all the code I do on a machine.

I think you get the concept of the tool offsets dry run in air and check it out is the best way. I use the z axis work shift to push the part away from the chuck and test in air.

Mach motion crash? Are you talking about the wizards they make?

Could you please give an example of the code ? Also need to know if you have the machine in G98 or G99 mode.

The machine must be stopped with an Estop if an emergency is encountered. Also the software is told the estop event happened not to preform the stop. We are doing final release testing so the sooner I can see the issue the more likely to get into the release.

Thanks
