General Mach Discussion / Re: mach 3 axis not running as DROs
« on: January 07, 2016, 09:10:06 AM »
You mentioned, back in post #8, the behaviour of the Ref All Home button. As standard this references each axis in turn (one at a time) and because of the design of your machine this behaviour is not suitable.
Referencing axes is not a procedure I ever need to use so I am no expert here – you will perhaps need to study the Mach manual http://www.machsupport.com/help-learning/product-manuals/ to get a grip of setting-up homing and using offsets but you may wish to consider making the following changes to the script in the Ref All Home button. Click Operator / Edit Button Script and then click the now flashing Ref All Home button. This will display the existing script. Delete all the existing script and insert…
RefCombination(5)
RefCombination(10)
Save the changes. This button will now reference your axes in their matching pairs X/Z and Y/A (and hopefully not break the wire).
Tweakie.
