Title: mach3 problems
Post by: ant771 on June 18, 2007, 03:48:54 PM

Hi. I got some problems with Mach3. I'm using newest version and I'm very tankful for that program. It's great! Thank you!

And I like to say thanks to HillBilly for BreakOutBoard and help! :)

and the problem...
When i run my code(program) couple times. Sometimes when I start it thirdth/fourth time, it starts to move something like 0,20mm/min. Then I start programn again and everything works like in the beginning.

What could make that error?

Another problem is, are there other ways to set machine coords to zero in Mach3, than to restart the program.


Thank you for help. Antti

I'm not sure what you are asking.

Hi, Antti

Jog to the spot you want to set as start point, Use the Zero Button for x,y,z, This resets your  x0, y0, z0, Code should run from there.

On exiting Mach you'll see a Fixture Save click on No, There are several other ways to do this, Just simplest for one offs.

Hope this Helps, Chip
