Mach3 and G-Rex / Mach3 Demo Writing GCode from Write Wizard messes up machine scaling-
« on: February 05, 2016, 04:42:38 PM »
New to all of this, but I have a Microkinetics Sherline Mill that jogs and runs basic MDI commands fine.
-Set to 8000 steps (1.8steps, half-step drives, 20tpi screws)
-Native Units set to inches
-Machine moves the commanded distance in any direction and DRO reflects this
If I try to engrave my name in the Write Wizard and write the GCode, the machine scaling goes nuts. My Y DRO goes to -50.something, and any 1" movement in MDI moves the machine about .100. My motor tuning values remain correct. G20 appears in the program as well. To clarify, this happens when I write the program, before I attempt to run it. Does this sound like a problem with a common solution?
Thank you-
Jason
