Title: Mach4 with warp9 ess tool change issue
Post by: raptor_demon on January 25, 2020, 10:37:27 AM

Hi all,

i recently changed my control board to an ESS and since then ive noticed that when the machine gets a tool change request, it pops up a message saying tool change then it waits a few seconds then just starts without me pressing any buttons.

the m6 script looks normal.

any ideas what this could be?

thanks Raptor

Hi,
could it be that Mach thinks that the tool in place is actually the same as the tool required, ie it
'Has Nothing To Do' and just carries on?

thanks for your reply,

i don't think its that. i tested it with the "simulated output" driver with a different profile and it worked as expected.

i have attached the gcode i am using.

My Mach 4 just starting doing the same thing, g code looks normal. Spindle will pause m5 , next line is T1 M6 then starts back up and continues with no input from me
