Mach4 General Discussion / Re: How to enable M6 script

I think you need to put your macro on here so we can see how its working.  Zip it up and give it a new name or you will get a already exists error, date and time is usually good.

If its just an odd corner add a G61 before the corner and a G64 after the corner in the code or slow the feed down on the entry to the corner.

Mach Screens / Re: Looking for a little help with simple script.

In the screen editor (machscreen or Screen4) place a DRO and give it a number in the 'Standard code' section of 1800 to 1850 you can then add a label saying what it is.

In your macro you read it by

var = GetOEMDRO(1800)

and update it by

SetOEMDRO(1800,val)

That is the short version

If you go into the diagnostics and then touch the plate to a metal part of the machine or the tool can you see an input light

All signal cable should be twisted pair shielded for best protection from noise.  All grounding should be to one point to stop earth loops.

The code looks fine, I would guess it is noise on the step / dir cables or a bad connection / joint, make sure the cables are shielded with only one end of the shield connected to a common ground.

Make sure you have no power wires close to the signal wires.

Spindle power cables are bad for this.

Can you post your code and a picture of what it should look like without the error

I would swap the x and y stepper driver and see if the fault is then on the x if it is its driver related if not it is axis related so could be the motor or maybe the rails are dry or sticking.
