By dynamically changing the softZ min as part of the m6tool change macro, I hope to have the Zmin set properly so the current tool can always get close to, but not hit the table.
Thx

I'm using g43 TLOs now and the softZ min needs to be changed for each tool- if set properly for a long tool, then a short tool can't get close to table. If set for short tool, then long tool could hit table. Does this make sense ??  Thx

I want to prevent table hits if I mess up G-code.

Hi all-

I have added a bit of code to my tool change macro that updates the Z min soft limit based on the difference in tool length offsets between the old and new tools (SetOEMDRO(158, OffsetDiff). The goal is to avoid slamming my tools into the table.

This macro works perfectly in the sense that the Z min soft limit is updated correctly.

The problem is that Mach3 (.062 or .066) is not "aware" that the soft limit has been updated until a reset (pushing the reset button twice) is performed.

I have tried to incorporate a DoOEMButton(1021) into my macro (should mimic a reset button press). I actually tried two of these call separated by a sleep 100 command, but this does not work.

Does anyone know how to reset Mach3 from within a macro ?

Thx
Jake

Hi Ron-

attached are 2 example files (as ZIP) that do not import correctly (for me). My workaround has been to force the entries to have the same number of digits (both before and after the decimal) and to double check and fix the - sign for the negative values which often does not import.
thx for looking at this.
best

Hi Ron (et al.),

I have struggled to get MW to import a CVS file with a list of hole locations. In particular, I have found that it requires that each X,Y coordinate have the same number of digits and it typically messes up importing any minus signs. I have been trying to import an Excel generated CVS file (generated on a Mac). I would love the ability to simply copy and past into this list.

Is this possible ???

thx,
jake
