Good idea to update. Things are changing fast at the moment. There have been some issues with licensing in the earlier V2 versions and I think that is sorted now but if your not going to get to play with the machine until this weekend I would wait until then to update. I hope you get it sorted soon and imagine you will.

Are you sure your homing direction is right?

Have you asked Warp9 about this issue? The homing is handled by the motion device.

This is why you have motors and out of band axes in Mach4. No need to eat up a conventional axes. I used rotational axis for linear in Mach3 too but only because I had no choice. Mach4 is not Mach3 and it is definitely different.

Hmmmmmmmm, A,B and C are rotational axes. They read in degrees don't they?

A few changes have been made and this is likely to be the default set. No guarantees but we may be adding a way for users to easily modify some actions such as Go To Work Zero to include Z moves or not and Stop to include spindle and coolant stop and go to a safe Z position.

Mach3 is the only controller I have ever seen that moves to safe Z if stop is commanded and it shouldn't IMO. What happens if your using a T-slot or keyhole cutter?

But, with Mach you have the flexibility to make it do almost anything you can imagine. All I ever want stop to do is stop motion. I will do everything else depending on the situation. Anything else is hazardous IMO but like opinions, machines vary drastically and in the right setting I could see additional actions being a good thing for the operator, tooling, machine, part, etc.

So, while we are on this subject, what do you think should happen when the stop button is pressed? What parameters would you want to look at (if any) to determine this action?

Its worth noteing that you can have one block of code in the MDI on the Program run page and a different in MDI on the Diags page and swap between pages to run which ever you want. The start button will run what ever is displayed. Omitting the tool path page for now. The whole tool path page will likely be deleted and the Start button will be disabled unless you have a Gcode or MDI display in view.

I have to edit the screen so that the cycle start button text updates when on a screen with a g code display that does not have an MDI tab (which is only the tool path page and it may be deleted as well).

OK Guys, see what you think of the Gcode/MDIs on the program run page and the machine diagnostics page and how the Cycle start button works with them.

If you like it and think it is time to delete the MDI page I will.
