General Mach Discussion / GetVar(2002) Incorrect values returned
« on: October 01, 2021, 04:03:23 PM »
For some reason my Mach3 system has started failing on the Auto Tool Zero script.
Its behavior is normal to begin with. It travels down to the probe at reduced sped. Stops when it touches the probe unit. This is where it goes wrong.
The Z value is around -35.00 (as is the Machine Co-ord). The value returned for the GetVar(2002) is very different. Say 1.5. So when the probe should retract 1-2mm. It actually travels up to the +1 position (+36mm)
This used to work well. I have also used various other scripts. And ALL produce the same issues.
Any guidance would be really appreciated.
