General Mach Discussion / Re: 3040Z issues again.....

Well, if its working I would just copy the xml that is working good and then copy it to a safe place like a thumb drive.  I'm not sure what all may be wrong with the xml you posted but assigning hot keys is pretty straight forward.  Just go to config., system hot keys, click on the axis and direction buttons and for each push the key you want to move the machine it that direction.  Need to stick with the defaults though as you can get in trouble wondering away from them.  X+ is right arrow, X- is left arrow, Y+ is arrow up, Y- is arrow down, Z+ is page up and Z- is page down.  I would like to know if that is all that was wrong.

All of your hotkeys in the profile you posted are wrong.

I think you forgot the attachment.  Post both xmls if you will.  Make sure they are named something unique.  To be sure I understand.... the MarksRouter profile was running good and all of sudden stopped working?

Yup, you can install over the older version.  You should make sure your profile is named something other than the default Mach Profiles.  Again, shouldn't be a problem if you have your xml backed up but good practice in any case.

Perhaps the controller is the culprit but can you narrow it down any more?  Can you open up the controller and swap things around in there?  I'm not suggesting you do, just asking if you can.  You could also swap pins assignments for y and z and note the difference if any.

I recommend backing up your entire Mach3 folder to a thumb drive or somewhere safe.  Not just when upgrading but just good practice in general.  You will want to save any custom screen sets, macros, brains, licenses files, and xmls for sure.

There is a big area still unused just below the main electrical cabinet

Now wait just a minute......... now your talking about my space.  Where will I put my sleeping bag if you go and fill it up with drives and such? I just got a mansion with new sliding glass doors, new paint, upgraded wiring and expanded sleeping quarters...... so I thought.  Life just isn't fair.
