VB and the development of wizards / Auto tool setting help.

« on: February 19, 2015, 11:34:44 PM »

So I have a code that works to a point then causes Mach3 to just lock up. It was working before now it's causing a problem.
Can someone please take a look at this and point out what is wrong. When it works it will hit the touch pad then reset the DRO and retract -20.000
Thanks in advanced.


'Rem   Probe Down
FeedCurrent = GetOemDRO(818)    'Get the current settings
ZCurrent = GetDro(2)
Code "G4 P1"         'Pause 1 second to give time to position probe plate
Code "F100"         'slow feed rate to 100 MM/MIN
GageH = GetOEMDRO (1002)
'Rem   Probe Down
FeedCurrent = GetOemDRO(818)    'Get the current settings
ZCurrent = GetOemDro(802)
Code "G4 P1"         'Pause 1 second to give time to position probe plate
Code "F100"         'slow feed rate to 100 MM/MIN
GageH = GetUserDRO(1152)
ZNew = ZCurrent - 20      'probe down 20 mm
Code "G31 Z" &ZNew
While IsMoving()
Wend
Call SetDro (2,GageH)
FinalMove = GageH * 1
Code  "G0 Z" &FinalMove
Code  "G0 Z" &25
Code "F" &FeedCurrent        'restore starting feed rate

General Mach Discussion / Unable to open ProbeDiag.dat Error=11

« on: February 13, 2015, 12:03:23 AM »

Please help.
Just like the title says I receive a
Unable to open ProbeDiag.dat Error=11 when starting up Mach3. It shows up for about 3 seconds at the start of the program then goes away. It happens when starting the profile I have set up. 
I should first let you know I just got a new smothstepper ESS up and running. This error just started at the same time I tried to load the first G code into it. Before this it would JOG just fine and start the spindle and control the speed.
The moment I loaded G code it would kick out an error Art Code 8877. Then the program would stop working. Windows 7 machine just for the CNC
Can someone please give me some in site to this. I don't know why it would have started after trying to load a G code that was working on the system and Jogging just fine 30 seconds before.

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / G81 problems

« on: January 05, 2015, 02:35:00 AM »

hey guys I'm having a problem with a G Code 81.
 It's strange when I select NO DEVICE and run Mach3 with a small amount of code it will drill and run just fine.  But if I send it to the machine USB then it gets stuck in this up and down peck drilling tell I hit the stop button. I have been running thrtough this problem for a week now. Here is the code. It's 2 holes and 2 cut lines. It does not matter what program I use to make the gcode lazycam or cambam it has the same outcome. See video at bottom.
Any ideas?
