Hi everybody,
I set up my CNC machine with Mach3 and almost everything works just fine, but I can't figure out how to offset the homing endstop zero.
Right now the homing system works fine except for the fact that I would like to have the Y machine coord set to 600 when endstop is reached, during axis referencing, instead of 0.
I already tried to set the "Home Off." to 600 (in Config -> Homing/Limits), but this doesen't seem to have an effect at all.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's kind of a bug in Mach3.
Thanks in advance

If you are using a motion controller, rather than a parallel port, it could be that your controller does not support the Home Offset option.

Yes, I'm using an ethernet controller.
Is there any way to fix it? Maybe with a macro, or by editing the script for the ref button? Can a macro directly modify machine coords?

Hi,

What controller? What make? What model?
As Gerry points out homing offset is done by the controller....I don't think there is a way to overwrite the machine coordinates.

Buy a controller that supports all of Mach3's functions. Most if not all Chinese boards do not.

In the OEM DROs list there is a group called Coordinates Machine ABS (from 83 to 88), but apparently using a SetDRO or a SetOEMDRO on one of theese doesn't do anything.
Could they be in a sort of read-only mode?
