G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: Zero point of Y Axis resets

« on: February 04, 2008, 04:14:21 PM »

Hi, Adrian

Post your G-code file and error line number, Mach just runs the code from your post created with Eagle and PCB_G-Code.

Some G-code doesn't post N00 (line #'s) Use below method.

Double click on the G-code window in Mach, It will show line numbers on the left, Use the up-dn slider to the right, Scroll dn to the line that shows the

reset/where it is going wrong point, The view screen will show the moves, Note the line number just above the white line in the G-code window, That's the

error line of code.

You may be able to just change the Y value on that line to correct the error, But it may cause further errors in the remaining G-code.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Chris

Look like the on / off is good, Must be a Noise issue,  The Capacitor may get it working.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Satbeam

Post your Mach3Mill.XML file, Make a copy of it and rename the copy to a different name, "Satbeam Mach3Mill"

It's located In c:\Mach3\ folder.

That's a good starting point.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Chris

Capacitor's, Many flavor's, The one you have may work fine, But the type "Cjmerlin" was referring to, I think, Looks like a Dime or smaller with leads coming

out of the side/edge, Ceramic, Non polarity sensitive type.

Thanks, Chip

PS:  Were waiting for, "It work's !!!!"
