General Mach Discussion / Re: Homing sequence and Z-Axis Home Offset?

I think to change the sequence you will have to do this in screen 4. You can change it with VB script ( I know nothing of this ) or have the button perform Gcode moves.

Hi Mike,
    I think you can change the z home by going to Home Off and entering a value. The homeing sequence can also be changed. Let me play with it a minute. In the new version, there is also a safe z set up in config. This may do what you want.

You can change the debounce in Mach. It depends on the version you are running as to where it is at. In the latest, it is in config., general config. I run the 1.84 lock down. I think it is in config., logic in this one. I have mine set to 1000 although I had no problems at 0.

Hello Bill,
    What kind of switches are you using? Are they mechanical contacts, proximity, etc.? Can you give us a screen shot of you ports and pins, and Homeing/Limits?

Hello Bathgate,
 Â    I should have a good wiring diag. of my control cabinet next week. I have all of the stuff packed in a small box, lying on the table beside the box, you know, lets hook it up and see this puppy run kinda mess. As crazy as it sounds, I have not had any noise problems. I'm building my new cabinet end of this week, first of next. I'm only running steppers, no encoders. I'll give you what I have.

There is probably an easier way, but here is how I get to mine.
Close Mach
Click on start,my computer, c drive, mach 3. Just copy and paste.
Hover cursor over the icon and it will tell you it's type. You want the xml. There are several in my folder. I'd copy all of them. :)

Check to see that you are in MM on the settings page. Here is a pic.

Hi Chris,
 Â   I think if you back up your xml files. screen sets, and keygrabber profile you will have everything you need. Let someone else confirm though.

Also, I saw my machine acting weird one day that is was in a long run. The drives were hot. I cooled the drives off and it smoothed right out. I'm not sure this was the problem. Since then I have kept air going across the drives and have not seen that again. :) I'm building a cabinet this week with fans. The first box is very small, it was one I had laying around.

Bill,
 Â  Just so you will know, I'm running Mach 3 on a dell dimension B110. This is a bare bones $280.00 PC. I works beautifully. :)  Before you buy one, let's see if we can get what you have working first. I'm not very knowledgeable at all on PCs ( learning fast on this forum ) but a lot of these guys are. I bet all of these heads thinking about it can get it done.
