Just an observation but I assume we are talking about speeds of mm / min. and not mm / sec.

Hi Ray,

The ESS documentation, including setting up a probe with Mach4 is here;  https://www.warp9td.com/index.php/gettingstarted/setting-up-the-smoothstepper-and-mach4#EssProbing

(Although reading all the Warp9 and ESS documentation is bit of a bore it pays to skip through as much of it as you can looking for things current of interest).

Another possibility you may wish to consider…

The Z axis Direction Pin state is modal, it will have one state when (and after) the Z axis has moved in one direction and the opposite state when (and after) the Z axis has moved in the other direction. The Z axis Direction Pin could then be used to switch an Output# ON or OFF without using Brains.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Why does it follow different tool paths from G code preview?

I notice you are using a very old version of Mach3, to take advantage of improvements and bug fixes you should really move on to a more recent version.

OK, this is what i mean. I have a notification in my mail box about a reply to my recent post with a link to read it. Click on the link and all there is is my post with no reply and no indication that i have a reply. Shouldn't the link as stated on it take me to the reply someone posted to me.

I cannot find the reply to my post.

Hi Ken,

This can happen when a spam posting has been made in your thread and then subsequently deleted (usually by a moderator).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Scaling G-code problem

« on: November 28, 2018, 01:21:26 AM »

Hi,

Use the X and Y Scale DRO's.  1.0000 = full size, 0.5000 = half size, etc., etc. (enter your value then press the Enter key)

If you then Regen. the Toolpath the Toolpath window shows your Program Extents so you can check the size of your finished work.

General Mach Discussion / Re: WHY DOES THR SEARCH NOT WORK?

« on: November 27, 2018, 05:14:40 AM »

Hi BB,

This forum is currently undergoing a re-think on layout, content, etc.  http://forum.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,38649.0.html

Some functions (such as search and link re-directs, etc.) may be a little cranky until it is all sorted
