sungyeolyang,

G31 has a feed rate in the script.
You can modify the script to do a fast then slow probe

Tsamael25,
The gcode is the same you just need to tell Mach to run in tangential mode.

Adiniz,

When you home the tangential axis is the blade pointed with the sharp side to the X+ direction?

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Programs won't continue after m6

chaney,

Can you post the m6 you are using?

Also, I am not a programmer and had to really work at learning the Lua.
This might help you.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach 4 and/or ESS has my Y AXIS running backward.

Does the direction change when you check and uncheck the Reverse box for the motor?
I am not sure if it needs a restart so make sure you exit the software and start it again.

thephridge,

Does the motor reverse direction when you check Reverse?

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Jogging multiple Axes

The only way I can think of is to do it as a gcode command.
So you would have to have a set position.
That position could be changed with a register.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Go to z zero command

« on: July 19, 2022, 12:28:53 PM »

Both will take a little minor programming.
If you are talking about the button that says "Go To Work Zero" it has two choices for movement.
One includes the Z to zero but is commented out.
I can direct you on how to do it but you will have to do it.

Here is something I made when I was trying to learn how the programming is done.
It might help.
