Title: Home on Mach3 Startup
Post by: jamesrm on December 15, 2011, 05:01:04 PM

Hi Guys,

I have had a search about however cannot seem to this (I am sure very simple) automatic action (macro?)

All I want to happen is for my machine to 'home' all the axis's when Mach3 first starts up.

Can anyone please help?

Many thanks
James

Oh I forgot to add and I also want to ensure the Soft Limits are turned on by default after 'homing'

Thanks again
James

Put some homing code and some code to turn on soft limits in a macro (Mxx), then in the init string on the general config page, insert that M code.  One the first reset of the current session, the macro will execute.
