General Mach Discussion / reference all home - probblem adding to stock button code

« on: August 08, 2015, 09:26:03 PM »

 I'm a Mach3 beginner.  I have a small CNC router I built a year or so ago.  My machine is a fixed gantry and my home switches are located in such a way that my table homes to the rear of the machine (min Y) when I execute reference all home.  After that, I almost always move the table back to the front of the machine (max Y) to deal with work pieces.  That works fine but I wanted to automate that move back to the front after I reference home.

I went to Operator, Edit Button Script and changed the "reference all home" code as follows:

Code: [Select]

DoButton( 24 )
DoButton( 23 )
DoButton( 22 )
DoButton( 25 )

DoOEMButton(133)
DoOEMButton(134)
DoOEMButton(135)

Code"G0 Y14.7"

It sort of works.  But it executes the move to 14.7 first, then does the reference all home.  Is there a way I can get that command to happen after the reference all home?

Thanks,
Scott

General Mach Discussion / Home to machine zero?

« on: December 02, 2013, 11:20:32 PM »

Noob, hopefully easy question.

ogt my CNC router setup and working via Mach 3.  No limit switches on router (yet, plan to add asap).  For now, I turned off the home inputs in port config for XYZ.  Now, from reseaching here, I can move the spindle to what I want to call machine home and set refernce all and machine coordinates go to zero.  All good so far.  Now I jog to the zero coordinate of my workpiece, run my program.  After that I click goto home and I get a move to the workpiece zero. 

Are there 2 commands for moving to "user zero" and "machine zero"? 

What I'm after is before I turn the machine off, I'd like to move it to the machine zero so it's in the default position when I turn it back on.  Without having to jog manually.

Thanks,
Scott
