thought I'd see if i can make both sides and then glue them together next time.

I think that if YNN ever does that it will be a working model

Hi Carlos,

Welcome.

The left/right/up/down arrow keys and the page up / page down keys are usually used.
Alternately, in Config. / System HotKeys you can select whichever keyboard keys you choose.

Hi Frank,

It may not be quite as simple as editing the .xml file but I may be wrong.

It was a couple of years back when I had a bad .xml - I created the new profile and everything then worked as it should. When comparing the bad .xml and the good .xml they both appeared to be identical. My conclusion was that there may be more in the .xml file that an editor reveals.

Hi Frank,

Couple of things to try...

In Config. / General Config - uncheck B-Axis is angular.

In Config./ Ports & Pins / Output Signals - disable Output#3 and Output#4 (these may cause conflict with the A axis using Port2 Pins 8 &  9).

After these changes have been made and applied Mach3 needs to be closed then restarted.

Hi Frank,

Can you please attach your .xml file. (Bottom right of the main screen is your profile - look in your Mach3 folder for a file with this name and the .xml extension).
This thread describes making attachments http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,24585.0.html

Your .xml file will enable me to check your settings and hopefully spot the problem.

@ Brillo1959,

Vuoi imparare come farlo da solo o vuoi semplicemente che gli altri scrivano il codice per te?

Your sample Gcode runs just fine here and no shutdown errors etc.

I think you should look at your post processor to remove the G4 P0 as these are not necessary and may cause problems also make sure that your Gcode finishes with M10P1 and an axis movement (perhaps G0 X0 Y0) then a null character such as % (to ensure the CR).

Hi Frank,

By 'rotary motor' do you mean the 'A axis' or a 'spindle' motor ?
