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.

HiCON Motion Controller / Current Position does not change while moving axes - 7766

« on: August 27, 2021, 03:22:54 PM »

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.
