Thanks Hood, that did it!   Is there a better script for auto zeroing

Now let's see what else I can mess up.

Not sure what you mean by the  default screen?

Not sure what this means but I could have done this when I tried to setup the auto zero, which is a message I get now when I try to home?



essage( "Auto Zeroing..." )
If IsSuchSignal (22) Then
code "G31 Z-3 F20"
While IsMoving()
Wend
Call SetDRO( 2, .060 )
code "G1 Z1"
End If

My name is Al Perozzi and live in Concord, NH. I work in the Drilling and Blasting industry with extensive experience with Drilling in rock and Commercial Explosives. I do woodworking and metalworking as a hobby, so this CNC thing just seem to make sense for both so I built a DIY machine and now struggling through the start-up without cutting my first piece yet!

I am new to cnc and average with a computer. I had all kinds of issues but after reviewing the videos I had most cleaned up. My question is the machine will only home from the MDI screen not the home screen?
