im useing the newest version of mach . it seems on every version of mach3 when i enable backlash the program stops about 5 lines down(units/measure)
i dont recall having this problem with mach2 but then i only used it for about 2 months as soon as i uncheck the the backlash enabled button WALA Bertha comes back to life. I have my backlash setting set at .004 for y,x,a this is a plasma table and i have cv unchecked and exact stop checked i must be missing to check a box or something all help would be gretaly appreciated

Hi, John
I downloaded your XML the problem is you need to change your slaved axis to C axis change the pin & port numbers and in slave Axis.
Forgot Motor tuning & Inputs C home sw also.
I ran into this problem with my waterjet cutter if I remember right.
Your probably getting good at changing things around now.
This should Doo-IT.
Hope it Helps, Chip

Hi, John

I hade-nt setup the motor tuning on C axis--------it's back----------.
In the statuss line I'm getting a Initialization Macro Called on reset, Haven't seen that before.
Still looking, Chip

Hi, John
I worked on this for some time, probably something in the your XML, the best is to copy down all your settings.
At screen Profile Create New Profile, check Default Profile Values, New Name enter your values in it.
With a different XML with backlash I could not get it to stop working.
Give it a try, Chip

Ok im going to try it thanks guys for trying to help me

Hi, John
Ran your XML, It errors for me like it dose for you.
I think I pined it down to Your Output 1 was set to Port 2 pin 1, I changed it to Port 1 Pin 1, put it back in Exact stop and enabled
Backlash.
The only other item i changed was your X and Y Home pins sharing pin 12 reset X to pin 11.
You need to reload your View screen also.
It works fine hear now, Try the Att. XML.
Hope this get'ssss It, Chip

"I only have a backlash problem where the cycle stops when i slave the A axis "if i just run it at a normal xyz the code runs just fine with backlash enabled
I geuss ill keep messing with it. it does it with all my xmls im useing 2040 now still same issue any suggestions would be great
