General Mach Discussion / Re: No green leds in the dro x axis

Please check to see that you are not in an Estop sate (check to see that the LED by the Reset button is not flashing).  And you should be able to move the machine if the LED's by the Axis Dro's are not green. The LED's are telling you if the axis has been homed or not.

There is a way but it is using the Cutter comp in Mach3.... Check the G41/42 Cutter Comp mode and you should have it working

I think the OEM code is 1021

To get the Estop out you will need to make a Macropump ... I can help you if you need it

Go under motor tuning and test till you have a speed that you and your machine are happy with Use the slider on the side to change the Velocity and test it by clicking on the graph with the mouse, them press the up and down arrows...
Good luck

This is how you should get the point
There is a section on how to write a probe macro in the wiki that I think could help you If you need more please feel free!

    Call SETUSERDRO( 1007,GetVar(2000))' = X PROBE TRIP POINT
    Call SETUSERDRO( 1008,GetVar(2001))'  = Y PROBE TRIP POINT
    DOOEMBUTTON( 1001 )' STOPPED BY FEEDHOLD

Here you go

Copy in this new XML and copy the M450 and M451 Macros in to the macros/Mach3Mill directory.... The M450 is the one that you can put you VB code in, and I have it set to work with  OEMTrig#4
