This part of the forum is for Mach4, your best bet is to repost in the General Mach Discussion to get more response.

Mach4 Videos / Re: Mach4 and ESS Homing Offset Script UPDATED

« on: April 01, 2016, 10:25:54 AM »

I will check on this as I dont use softlimits myself but will have a look over the weekend.

one thing that possibly could help is setting the OSIG_SOFTLIMITS_ON to off at beginning of script then again to turn on after the offsets have been applied.

From the main screen menu bar click on Operator->Edit Screen - this will open up the screen editor.

On the top left you will see the Screen Tree Manager, Highlight the uppermost in the tree.

Below in the properties tab click on the second icon with the thunderbolt through it.

From there you should see 4 scripts and the uppermost is the Screen Load Script, click this to reveal a button that loads the script in an editor.

You will need to be on line 204

change the gcode to what you require the goto 0 to do.

Debugging code is fun, finding a friend who has xp is a challenge ;-)

Not sure if you mean the goto zero, if so look in the screen load script for

Code: [Select]

---------------------------------------------------------------
-- Go To Work Zero() function.
---------------------------------------------------------------
function GoToWorkZero()
    mc.mcCntlMdiExecute(inst, "G00 X0 Y0 A0")--Without Z moves
    --mc.mcCntlMdiExecute(inst, "G00 G53 Z0\nG00 X0 Y0 A0\nG00 Z0")--With Z moves
end

Not sure but looks like your running XP,

If so I will hunt down an xp machine tomoro and try, just wondering if there is an error between xp and mach4 thats actually outputting some error text you cant see before it draws the main tabs.
