Title: M6 again nothing fancy.
Post by: Len-Tikular on December 08, 2022, 12:36:18 PM

I need a simple macro so when my Gcode reaches an M6,my Z will go to its safe z position.
I can Jog the gantry to whatever position I like.
I will then change the tool.
Execute a Z zero touch to my reference plate.
When complete I hit continue and mach4 will carry on and execute the next part of the gcode.
Nothing fancy, no tool lengths just plain and simple like I had in mach3.

Any willing helpers.
A free Haggis for the the best bit of code.
