Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Auto tool zero and auto z probe as same sensor

« on: April 08, 2022, 01:55:03 PM »

I really dont know if this makes any difference or not because I dont use it but will it work correctly doing the 2 in the other order?
Pocket probe first then the Z

It sounds to me that you have some of the pins incorrect.
When you hook the 2 motors up you have one of them to pins that are designated for an e-stop

One of my customers made this file and it does not show in the graphics window of Mach4 or run.
I can not find the problem.

I use registers for many things.
They are always available to all parts of Mach4.

There are probably several ways to do it.
Here is a document to help you start on the LUA scripting.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: External LED when Probe Active

« on: March 21, 2022, 11:26:35 AM »

In broad terms this is what you need to do.
Hook up the LED to an output on the PMDX
Go to Configure / Plugins / ESS
Go to the Output Signals tab and enable and select the pin mapping.
Go to Configure / Control
Go to the Output Signals tab and enable that output and select the device and pin if not done.
Next you will need to do a minor bit of programing.
Probably in the Signal Script.
Look for the probe strike and tun on the output.

Here is something that may help with the programming.

I modified the CycleStart() to not run unless a Reference has been done if they have an ATC.
I think that is what you will need to do.
Time to code in LUA.

In VCarve are you sure you do not have an offset on the job setup?
When you home your machine are the x and y positions in the diagnostics tab all 0?
