Hi all,
thanks for your replies.  :D

@TOTALLYRC: The post-processor doesn't reach the point where it should generate the G31 commands due to the error occurring.
@dude1: I'll give the Fanuc post-processor a try and see what G-Codes it generates for probing.

The "spindle speed out of range" issue at 0 rpm in the Mach4 Mill post-processor does not only affect probing cycles.  :(

I encounter the same error when using an "engraving stylus" tool with the spindle speed set to 0 rpm.
Does the spindle speed being set to -1 rpm save me from getting this "spindle speed out of range" error?

Does the spindle speed being set to -1 rpm suppress any M03 command output from the post-processor along the way?
An M03 will start my VFD and make the spindle run at its abs. min. value of 400 rpm if the "S" parameter is less than that...  :o

Sorry, I can't try out your suggestions right away;
I'm on the road again for two days from now on.   :-\

Hello everyone,

I've been browsing the forum for any hints concerning my issue, but, no luck; so I'm starting a new thread...
Sorry, if this is already beeing discussed somewhere else in this forum.

I'm trying to get some "probe" commands exported from Fusion 360 CAM to the Mach4 Mill post-processor (rev. 41728 and earlier).
The G-Code generated so far doesn't look bad, I guess?

(PROBETEST)
(T100  D=2.96 CR=1.48 - ZMIN=-4. - PROBE)
G90 G94 G91.1 G40 G49 G17
G21
G28 G91 Z0.
G90

(PROBE1)
M5
M9
T100 M6
(3D TOUCH PROBE)

M9
G28 G91 Z0.
G28 X0. Y0.
M30
!Error: Failed to post data. See log for details.


But then the post-processor stops,
and the aforementioned "details" are poppin' up in the following error message:

Error: Spindle speed out of range.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Error: Failed to invoke function 'onSection'.
Error: Failed to invoke 'onSection' in the post configuration.
Error: Failed to execute configuration.


Seems like the Mach4 post-processor doesn't like to have 0 rpm set for the spindle speed (default while probing),
whereas standing perfectly still is mandatory for my touch probe (regarding the cable attached to it and all).

Ain't probing implemented yet in this post-processor, or are there any other ideas?

Sorry for my gibberish... I'm only a German CNC hobbyist trying to get some meaningful responses;
I prefer the English forum just because you guys are much more willingly to help - and way more friendly than the Germans...  :)

Thanks in advance,
Marcus
