Hey John,
   I haven't got to play with this yet so maybe someone else will kick in. I should be back on the G100 the end of this week, on a BOB in the middle of a job now. I will try this out as soon as I can.

Yup that helps. If you can hold off for a week or so, I'll swap over from the BOB to the G100 and play with it some with the latest plug-in and firm ware. ( I have to get back on the set-up guide).It's no trouble to swap over but I have a job set up on it now. One thing I would study up on is this. Can the motors carry the machine at speeds you want if you can get a faster pulse? I wouldn't spend the money until I knew as their are far less expensive options if all you want is to add control via Mach of vaccum, coolant, spindle, etc.

Hey Paul,
    As far as the G100, it depends on what all you are doing. At present, the G100 has some handicaps. Probeing is one of them. Most can run the G100 right now with pretty good results. All hardware it seems has their strong points and weak. Tell us more about what you will be doing with your machine.

LOL, Curtis, I sent you around your elbow to get to your thumb. Sorry about that.   If you are meaning the oem codes, you can find those in the wiki. Here is a link. Scroll down to section 9.

IF you mean to find out what they are in the screen set, you can use screen 4 designer for that. In the downloads section, screens, screen 4.

Hey Alex,
    This may not be the best way, but would trick Mach into doing it. It would require you to change your steps per in motor tuning everytime you changed the diameter of the part. Just do the math once though and your code, if it reads y, that would be ok too. Your a axis would be wired as the y.

Hey Curtis,
    I haven't got to play with this yet. I'm interested in this myself. Did the jog input work for you?
