Mach4 General Discussion / Reference all axes (Home) on a machine without limit switches

« on: May 27, 2017, 07:23:20 AM »

When jogging to the "home" position and pressing the [Reference all] button, machine coordinates does not reset to zero. Why?

In homing/Linits the [In place] is checked. All limit switches are disabled in my PoKeys plug-in and in Mach config.
In Mach3 there was an "Auto Zero" option to make this happen but this is not present in Mach4.

Any suggestions?

Mach4 General Discussion / USB gamepad as jogging device

« on: May 27, 2017, 03:26:06 AM »

Hi,
In MACH 3 there was a user contributed plugin for this. Anyone who knows if there might be one for MACH 4?
Alternatively, how to go about making one.

I'm an embedded systems designer so I'm used to programming but LUA and the Mach4 API are totally new to me
as well as accessing the USB gamepad device.

Best regards
Thom
