Hi,, Geo

On the main screen next to Axis Pos Display, "Scale" click on the +1.0000 display, Enter -1.0 hit Enter key, this will flip your Axis.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Moonlightmedia

Give this XML file a try, maybe there is a problem with your XML.

Copy it to your Mach3 folder, C:\Mach3 is the default location, load it on mach3 startup.

Pins are set as above for X Y Z, limit's and home, need to change motor pins to your's .

Thanks Chip

Hi, Walt

Try setting your "Debounce Interval" to 1000 in Config, General Logic Conf. Page.

Your switch's NC in series, test good in Diagnostic window. ?

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, moonlightmedia

The view I posted is using NC switch's, it resets the green-red Reset just fine on all screen's hear.

Check all your Input's / All pin Assignments and state's bet you have one of your home/limit pins sharing two functions.

PM me your Phone # Ill give you a call, if in USA.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, moonlightmedia

Change the state of "Active Low" in Config, Ports and Pins, Inputs, for your switch inputs, turn off "Active Low" "X", " Emulated" "X" .

This will change the way Mach looks at the switch "NO" "NC",  click on the X or Check mark it will change state, then Apply.

See Att. Set them this way.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Scott

Been tied-up today, If you Ref. the Mach3 manual sec 10.8.7, it states that if you use M98 (filename.txt) it will import and run that file I haven't been able to get it to work though. so your not off on this at all.

Read up on this see if you can get it to work.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Scott

"Both progs are saved as the same name as the first line in ea." Should be saved as one.

Try this.

;Main program

;Then the sub program is

O9999
G20 G90
G0 X1.5
G0 Z-.500
G1 Z-.650 F100
G0 Z0
X1.0
M99
%
