Hello Mike,
I have a rule that save me countless hours of debugging.. the file that you sent IS showing a problem with a - x scale but at .5 MB it is just to big for me to work with.. is there any chance you can show me the trouble is about 10 lines of code. I can hack the file and make an example that is showing the trouble but it takes far to long to do it here.. if you have a post and can make a simple example in your cam program would be great!

Thanks
Brian

I have fixed this error with R type programming Now can you tell me if I need to look at IJ style as well?

Hello,
The fact that you have a tool length active at a tool change is a bit odd.. You should cancel the tool length offset when you are changing tools. Also here I delete ALL The code from the M6 end Macro. I am one of the guys that likes to take care of moving the machine in the Gcode file... Depending on the part you are cutting you may want to change how you get back from a toolchange and by having a "dumb" tool change it allows  you to do this. Having said that I don't think I can change how the Data is recorded with the GetToolChangePosition(2). The reason is that this has been like this for so long that I can't change it.. if you would like to add the toollenth offsets in  your toolchange code please do so, you can get the data in VB.

Thanks and if I am not reading this right please tell me where I am going wrong.

Thanks
Brian

Well... I don't know at this time but with the data that I am getting it looks like the direction we need to be looking..  Welcome to my world It will all get sorted out as time goes on.. but you have it so you can make the problem happen and that is a big part in fixing the problem!

Seems odd that you can see the DRO change but the axis is not moving.. The Positions on the screen are from the index registers in the SS. The index registers are set by the pulses that go OUT of the SS. So this tells us that the Pulses "should" have been sent from the SS to the axis drive. is there a chance that you  drive faulted due to over acceleration and that we have an accel problem rather then a Drilling problem? I would lower your Z axis acceleration by 50% and see if you still have the problem.

Thanks

Hmm... Okay please send me both of your XMLs and we will see what we can do. I need to head out and work on the road today but I will be back at it tomorrow to see if we can get this feedrate problem sorted out.

loderunner, Could you please tell me what frequency you are running at (on the diagnostics page for the 1024.set and on the P Port page of the MSM set) Then I would like to know what you are set for under config ports and pins

THanks
Brian
