Mach4 General Discussion / Re: complex probe moves not working

Has the UC400 driver/config got a 'safe probe move' option?  we have seen this option on some controllers and it stops some of the Z moves while the G31 is active.

I use a CS-Labs and had to use my own probing routines for this reason.

Has the second program got a M99 or M47 at the end?

OK, you need to make sure your lead in has enough travel to apply the offset or it will try to do it in the main move.

There are a few USB to LPT mach4 adaptors on the market, PMDX-411, PoKeys57CNCd25 for a start.

G73 is working fine for me.

Are you sure you are using the correct pecking cycle, G73 is a high speed peck where it stays down the hole and just jumps back 0.5mm or .020"

G83 is the one that jumps out of the hole and back in.

depending on how many inputs and outputs you need for the ATC you could have enough on the ESS to control everything and just use LUA to do the software side.
