Every time I load Mach that thing flashes yellow I reset it it's okay until I reference all home then back to flashing yellow I reset it this is a vicious circle. Getting tired of playing the game with that button. Is there a way to reset that FOREVER?
-
Yes, open the screenset in Screen4 and delete the bloody thing then save as a different name. Go back into Mach and go to View and Load Screens and choose the renamed one.

When you first load Mach, the abnormal condition it is referring to is that you haven't homed the machine. (this is assuming you previously clicked the "set normal condition" after homing.) Just home it out and it should turn green by itself.
If you click "set normal condition" before you home the machine, then a homed machine would be abnormal. The reason why you keep going in circles is because you keep changing the normal parameters from "normal is homed" to "normal is not homed"
-
No I actually r4ef all home. Then I get the yellow flasher reset it to normal. Next time it's back. Like a bad penny.
-
This Abnormal Condition never used to be in Mach and was only added into Rev3 a while back. It is one of the things that most worries new people as they get frightened of it or like in your case annoyed. Best thing is delete it from the screenset and you wont see it so wont get annoyed, I dont have it on any of my screens and I dont miss it ;)

It took me awhile to find screen4 but no more blinky light. Thank you Hood, that thing was about to drive me nuts. I am all set now. Everything seems to be running like it should now. I have cut at least 12 jobs without a hitch. Only thing was that stupid blinking light and it's gone now.
-
Norm, it may shock you but some people actually like the Abnormal LED, like you however I dont, but the great thing about Mach is it allows you to choose how you want most things :)

I'll have to hunt out screen 4 and delete it, never thought of that ???
Thanks

I am not sure if i am doing this right i found the screen 4 i right clicked it it wanted me to open it in note pad i opened it and i got all kinds of code but i can not find that dang button.
-
Download it from the downloads page then unzip it to the Mach3 folder and then double click the Screen4.exe. That will open and then just open the screenset you wish via the file menu.
