General Mach Discussion / "Probe Signal Inactive"
« on: October 01, 2021, 05:11:22 PM »
Help. For some reason all the sudden my touch plate probe is not providing a signal. (in both Mach3 and Mach4)  I conducted an auto Z function with the plate with no problem. Then tried to auto z again a couple minutes later and there is no signal to the probe all the sudden. Very strange, as nothing changed and it all the sudden stopped working.  I can't get it to go active.

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Blinking Lines in Tool Path window

Anyone know how to get these blinking lines in my tool path window to stop? I can barely see the loaded gcode and the lines blink really fast.

Post Processors / Vetric post processor Mach4 with OPT laser operation
« on: December 18, 2020, 04:24:19 PM »
Using Avid CNC Pro with Warp9 ess smoth stepper and OPT laser. For the life of me, I can not get the laser to fire in mach4. I followed all instruction from warp9, mach, vectric, and OPT but still cannot get the laser to fire. Went to youtube and found a .pp file from this gent who provided it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLsUryo54Mc&list=PLKFWjO4eBep0VtmoM6-fJZAH8rchmEUfp&index=5

Vcarve allowed me to save a toolpath using his post processor file, but when running in Mach4 it will not fire the laser.

The post processor file provided by Twinkie on the Mach forum does not work and Vcarve just says "error occurred while outputing toolpath....check the post processor you're using is compatible with the toolpath you're trying to output"


For Mach3: I can run the test file and fire the laser using the M10p1 and M11p1 commands from OPT using Mach3 with port 3 pin17 as instructed by OPT.   


Does anyone have an actual solution to this? It is kinda frustrating that MACH, Vectric and OPT have no idea how to make a laser work without the user spending hours and hours to try and figure this out.
