Make sure your Drivers are set to the same resolution. I.E. Microsteps, which I run at 1600, I believe it is switches 5 and 8 on. the rest are off. again, every machine is different so go through the initial motor calibration process to make sure that your steps are moving you the correct distance!

Good luck and let us know how things go!

So I decided just to manually touch off the plate to the tool, and on the Machine Diagnostics Tab the probe light turns on when the circuit is completed. I believe that it is just the motion controller awaiting the aforementioned update to allow the configuration of the auto-zero.

Thanks again Steve!

I went to the plugins section for the 422 and found only 2 options for probing.
1. wildhorse low pull up
2. wildhourse high pullup (strong pull up)

the G-Code Function works but when it gets to the G31 Command Mach 4 says that "probing is not yet supported by the motion Controller"
This is because the probing function may not be set up right on my end, or the firmware actually does not support the probing function.

I am using the PMDX-422 SmartBOB for your information.

Thanks for any and all replies.

I would like a screenset for those of us with vacuum tables like the one in this thread...

and if anything else, just a way to convert the mach 3 screen sets and port them to mach 4

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach 4 Tool Auto Zero
« on: March 07, 2015, 05:35:15 AM »
I was trying to figure out a few things regarding tool auto-zero in Mach 4.

1. When the M6 code comes up when running a program it passes by the code as if it is a comment, NO it does not show up as (M6) in code. no brackets.
2. I see the button for tool auto-zero on the main "run Program" page, but alas, nothing comes of it when pressed.

I am new to Mach 4 so I am %99.99 SURE I missed something somewhere!

P.S. also what is the best recommended wiring for the touch-off plate, I plan on having one for tool change permenantly installed on the table.

Any and all help given is more than greatly appreciated.
