Hi, Luis

In Config, Home & Limits, Theres a setting to set the Home Direction's for neg. or pos.

After you home and load your program, Jog or move to a location that will allow for the file to be cut and zero your x,y position and Regenerate your view.

When you exit Mach, Answer No to the "save Work Offsets"

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Josh

Have you tried the screen settings, Config, General Config, " Screen Control " Options. ?

You need to re-load your screen set after changing the Screen Control options, Under, View, "Load Screens".

If thy don't help, You'll need to use Screen 4 Editor to re-size your screen set.

Hears a 1024.set saved as 1024 800x600.set give it a try.

Hope this Helps, Chip

General Mach Discussion / Re: Schematics for X,Y & Z home switches?

Hi, Splint

Simplicity is best sometimes.

In Homing Mode, Mach Homes one axis at a time, It's just looking for a Switch to open, It nows which axis is moving and changes it's direction to move the axis off the switch, After all axis's are homed.

Mach reverts to Limit Mode, Again just looking for a switch to open seeing the over limit.
 
Mach can use just 3 switches to accomplish the Home / Limit function with only One Input Pin used.

Wire your Switches in Series and  Common (C), Normally Closed (NC) terminal's.

Just some Thought's, Chip

Hi, lazimolur

Don't really now what your trying to do, Trying to cut slots and testing tool & fixture offset's or just cutting slot's ?

These post's really should be in "G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions".

A word or two would help, The M40 in the code is used for probing in Mach, What are your tool & Fixture setting's ?

Is it that the G40 isn't canceling the tool cutter radius compensation ?

Let us now, Chip

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Startup- Reboots PC- help?

Hi, Lar45

Have you run the Driver Test, It's in C:\Mach3 folder, Let it run till it closes on it's own, If that doesn't do it run SpecialDriver the Original Driver can be reinstalled by running OriginalDrive.

I've had this problem after installing new versions of Mach also, Usually the driver test fixes it for me.

I run Video acell at lower end as LazyCam won't load if it's to high, For me anyway.

Hope this Helps, Chip
