Mach Screens / Re: Opening g-code

That should not be a problem, just add the M1100 to the end of your program and it will work.

How did you want it to work?

Try a different DRO, #1200 may be in use by another macro

I seem to remember its unit neutral so all you do is adjust the figures to metric values

Work out which of the microstep drivers are connected to the Y axis and the Z axis, follow the cables back to the control or they may be marked on the box. Swap the drivers in the box over and see if the fault is transferred on to the Z axis.

If there is not enough info for mach to start then it will just sit there, E.G. it is in G01 mode with no feed rate

Create a button a Label and a DRO on the screen of your choice.

Set the DRO to a user variable e.g. 1200

Set label to "Part Counter" and position close to DRO

Label the button "Reset Counter" and set it to run vb script

Enter VB code :-

SetUserDRO(1200,0)

Save screen.

Then on the end of every g-code file just before the M30 enter

#1200 = [#1200 + 1]

Or you can set up a Macro to do it

M1025.m1s
count = GetUserDRO(1200)
count = count + 1
SetUserDRO(1200, count)

Can you post a picture(s) of the machine electronics so we can see what controller and drives you are using.  Use the attachment below the text box to add up to 4 pictures.

Do you have a licenced version of Mach3 or are you using one that came with the machine?

If you go into the Mach3 folder you should be able to find and XML backup file from before you made the changes, rename the current one in use and copy the backup as the current name.

See if that helps
