Title: GOTO Z problem
Post by: Roi on June 14, 2023, 08:04:44 AM

Hi,

I am nearly finished with my CNC-Mill and now got a problem.

I'm using Mach3 Version3.043


I was able to get everything started and Jogging and Homing works fine.

My X-Axis counts positive when jogging from left to right - the Homing Switch on the left side.
My Y-Axis counts positive when jogging from back to front - the Homing Switch on the back side.
My Z-Axis counts negative when jogging from up to down - the Homing Switch on the up side.

When I click on GOTO Z button, X and Y axes go to the right position and Z add distance.
See video - https://youtu.be/9rlcvkKHwGA

( for example – Starting position: X3Y3Z3 => click on GOTO Z => X0Y0Z6 => click on GOTO Z => X0Y0Z12 => click on GOTO Z => X0Y0Z24…..)
- I tried to change DirLowActive in Ports and Pins.
- I tried to change reversed and Home Neg in Home/Limits.
- I tried to update Mach3 Version from 3.041 to 3.043

Nothing works…


Please advise :-\

Thanks for yours help!

Problem solved  8).
I'm using BL-USBMach V2 controller.
I update the driver for the controller ( I put BL-UsbMach-V22.dll in Mach3/PlugIns) and it solved the problem.
