Title: M13
Post by: menardmfg on January 17, 2017, 02:05:57 PM

Hello Group

I'm trying to turn on spindle and coolant at the same time using M13, in the mach3 program it works fine but in mach2 it doesn't work.

I took the M3 macro and added an Activatesignal(output3) and saved as M13

any ideas?

thanks

I started out using Mach2 (10 or so years ago) but no longer have a copy to try but I concur that your M13 macro works just fine with Mach3. There are many things that work with Mach3 that do not work with Mach2 - it was all part of the product development / improvement process over the years so why not just switch to using Mach3 and take advantage of these improvements ?

Tweakie,

Thanks for your input. Mostly its a learning curve thing, why I stick with Mach2. Also If it ain't broke why mess with it? That being said, I think it might be time for me to upgrade.

thanks
