Title: Macro working in MDI but not in Program Run
Post by: TM on October 04, 2016, 01:41:29 AM

Hello members of the forum,

I am experiencing a problem with a macro that I wrote recently. The macro is assigned to a M31(random number) function and when I call it in MDI it runs it, but when I call it as part of a whole g-code program, MACH3 doesn't even load the g-code. The macro is very simple, it activated and deactivated several inputs and output for a mechanical testing station that I created. Any ideas what may be the reason for that?

Thank you!
TM

Can you attach the code that is not working, also the macro as well.

Also worth mentioning, custom macros should really start with m101 and upwards, 100 and under are supposed to be reserved for Mach3 internal use.

Thank you for the feedback! I will try to change the number to M1 _ _ and if I dont have result I will upload the macro.
