Title: AXIS not moving and DRO is incrementing.
Post by: capteod on April 16, 2013, 02:16:59 PM

    I am having a problem with MACH3 with the VISTA SCREEN SET and it is driving me crazy.

    I have referenced all axis and they are correctly moving to the reference positions. The DRO's read 0.0000

    My problem is that when I program a

    n06 G73 x0 y0 z-0.4 q0.125 r0.1 f6
    n07 x1

    The machine will drill the first hole correctly but will not move to x=1.000 that that the command line calls for. The DRO Indexes but the X axis is not moving. I understand that the G73 command is modal and that the n07 line is telling the machine to move to x=1.00 and execute the M7e command which the ANSI standards say is amodal until another cG command id instituted.

    I can Jog the X axis via the MPG. It works and the DRO only updates as I turn the MPG

    If I MDI the command g0 x1.000
    the machine will not move the X axis.but the DRO increments as if it was moving.

    MY skill set is old world and I am 71 so my thinking is there is something wrong
    with MACH in the settings.

If the DRO changes then mach is outputting pulses. Something in the breakout board or driver is not working.

Since this has nothing to do with a wizard oyu mmight get more help in the general mac topic.
