Mach4 General Discussion / Cannot Get Machine Set Up
« on: October 07, 2023, 03:36:27 PM »
I'm having two issues that prevent me from using my system (Mach4Hobby - SmartBOB 411 - Windows10): Running GCode and Using Touch probe simply do not work.
I can manually drive the mill using keyboard and Shuttle Pro. X, Y and Z all work fine and I've been able to tune the motors. What I cannot do is run any gcode files with the exception of the included "roadrunner." If I load existing gcode made in Aspire (Mach2/3 Arcs in inches and .txt) and hit Cycle Start Gcode, nothing happens.
Regarding touch probe, I get an LED connection in the interface when I touch wires, but when I start a Find Z probe, I get ERROR: No Contact with Probe. Previous issue saw the Z moving, but not stopping when i touch wires together.
My Probe inputs are: Mapping Enabled/Device: SmartBobUSB/Input Name Pin10/Active Low checked/Log Enabled checked
Thanks,
Luke
