I have been seeing this ALOT lately, Had to restore 3 machines just today.
Mach3 runs perfect.  Client shuts down and goes home.  The next day they open mach3 and get the (See attached image).  Its asking for the motion controller, custom screenset not loading and all the settings in the XML are zero.  Have been seeing this for months on windows 10 and windows 11 computers.
I have been trying to research this, at first I though it had to do with windows updates as some of my clients I just cannot convince them to take the box off of the internet.   Not so sure now.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Rob

Look in the motor outputs to make sure they are enabled and have pins and port number specified. If it just started doing this, then see if you can recover the XML from a previous run.

Graham,

Thank you sir for your time and knowledge.

I am going to see if I can get something mocked up and trigger outputs.

Again, thank you.  This is for a client of mine and I have never had to do something like this before.

After working with Arturo for a just about a week.  We have come to this solution.
I hope it helps with your issue.

lets pretend that I am an idiot.   What would an example of something like this look like?

I am working this exact same issue with the same C76 board.  Mine didnt happen out of the blue, its been like this since I wired in the C76.   The big difference is that I am using a NSK VFD/Spindle.   Where are you getting the 24V from that goes out to the VFD?  I am going to assume that it is coming from the screw terminals never to the power in to the C76.  Putting a separate 24v power supply in the controller for only these 2 wires seems to help a lot.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 outputs and inputs for loader robot
« on: September 13, 2021, 11:03:03 AM »
I have a guy asking me how a parts loading robot could be used with Mach3.
The idea is that an output is triggered when the part it done to trigger the robots routine.  When it is done unloading a loading a new part, they need an input trigger to have mach3 rerun the Gcode.

Does anybody have an idea how to make this happen?  This is outside of my wheelhouse.  So I am looking for suggestions.

Well I am gaining on this issue.  I am able to edit the button script for home all on my installed screenset.
I found a script on the forum that helped me, I edited all 3 axis calls  like this.  This is for the Z axis.
SetParam ("XRefPer",40)
DoOEMButton (1022)  'home at 40%
While IsMoving()
Wend
Code "G53 X-2"  'move off switch 2mm
While IsMoving()
Wend
SetParam ("XRefPer",5)
Sleep 200
DoOEMButton (1022)  'home at 5%
While IsMoving()
Wend
SetParam ("XRefPer",100)
End Sub   
Now I do not know how to get into the screen set and edit the individual home buttons.  They do not flash when I go into Operator>Edit Button Scripts

more information and maybe some pictures are needed.
Is this a router or a mill?  My first guess is that you have one or more axis going backwards.

I am still fighting this as I do not know VB at all.

I was able to edit my tool probe script by typing in simple G code commands but this is now working for me. 
Can anybody dumb this down for me?
I have tried going to the button script editor and doing a
DoButton (24)
code(g91)
Code(g0z-1)
While Ismoving()
Wend
DoButton(23)

I did this just to see if I could get the Z to move down after the home.
But when I run it from the script editor window I get Compile error Script Error
