Mach4 General Discussion / Set Z button does nothing
« on: May 17, 2022, 11:44:47 AM »
Hi,

I just tried using the SET Z funtion, under Gage Block Height, but the Z DRO doesn't change. The message in the History window shows that I've changed the Z Offset, but it never shows up in the DRO. I'm running the 7766 board, and the MAch4_Integra_Mill sample profile, and the wx4_VSI.set Screen. If anyone has an idea what is causing this, I'd appreciate the feedback. The Set Tool button works as expected, and the machine runs fine otherwise.

Cheers.

Turns out it was my stupidity that caused the problem. I had Motors 0-2 enabled in the Aux. Positions tab.

Thanks everyone,

Pretty embarrassing, but it was my stupidity that caused the problem. I had Motors 0-2 enabled in the Aux. Positions tab.

Thank you all for trying to help, much appreciated.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the feedback.
I don't have encoders enabled in the HiCON plugin. I set the encoders to undefined from the start, and also tried setting to StepGen after reading through some HiCON manuals - no difference.
I've just checked the ScreenScript, and there is no reference to either of those functions anywhere.

I updated the firmware, FPGA and plugins this morning, and restarted everything.... no difference. I also noticed that if I click on the values in the Current Position DRO on the Diagnostics screen, the values change... usually increasing by 15 or 20 units.
I've also tried running Mach4 on two difference PCs, but have the same problem on both.

I don't have any errors when moving, so I have no idea where to go next....

Thanks again for your time.

David.

Hi Toshio,

Thanks for the reply.

I don't have a probe set up yet, and the LED doesn't blink. I'm not getting any errors, and the system jogs X,Y and Z without any problems, including homing. The problem I have is when I jog any of the 3 axes, the DRO for Current Position doesn't change at all, but the Machine Coordinates DRO updates live as you would expect.


Thanks again.

If anyone can help me with this problem, I'd be so grateful....

The Current Position does not update when I move any axis. The Machine Coordinates on the diagnostics screen shows my position, but the Current Position values don't change - (no change with jogging or g-code). I'm homing with limit switches, and that all works fine. Everything else seems to work as normal, but I cannot figure out how to fix this.

I'm running Mach4 Hobby, and a HICON 7766, with steppers (no encoders).

Cheers.
David.
