Title: Change scale on start up Mach3
Post by: marcinpl on September 07, 2008, 08:42:12 AM

I want change scale on X and Y axis when I turn on Mach3.

I do something like this

in Brain Editor

Estop ------ invert flip signal --------- Formula a*(1.0066) --------- Xscale

it works :)

best regards
Marcin

G51 sets a scale factor, so G51 X 1.0066 ought to do what you want. Put that into the init string thats in the Config/general screen and it will execute every time mach starts up. Might be safer to first do G50 to reset all scales to zero, then the G51.

Thank You both methods work good. If you say that Yous is more safe I will be use G50 G51 X1.0066 Y1.0066
