Here's my program. I have 3 screen shots, but I think there's enough to see if I'm doing something wrong,

I tried to attach pics, don't think they went through though. I'll try somehow to attach the code some other way. Thanks.

I understand what you mean about the icons on the reply screen but i'm still not able to attach the code this way yet. Can I send you a pic of my code as it is on the Mach screen? I'm uploading the pics as we speak.

I'll try it right now, but I'm not promising it will work.

This has been a long day. I tried to paste the program up here for all to view. Now I can't even do that because the files simply won't open. They load up in Mach, and come up on the screen, but I can't simply open them up through Adobe or view them to copy and paste. How do you guys show your programs?

The manufacturer said that some codes in fanuc aren't compatable with Mach, like G28. This might be it. I'll see about posting the program here in a bit.

Might I ask exactly what your machine is? Is it a router? If so, how big is it? If it's the same as mine, I can probably help you real easy without you having to figure out anything.

I wrote up a simple program with my Kentech Kipware M software. It transfered onto my Mach3 screen easy enough. After setting offsets and zeroing, I figured I would just hit cycle start and go. I must be missing something, because all I get is a "Bad character used" message. The Kipware default is Fanuc. I think it must have something to do with a step I'm missing between writing program, and transferring it to Mach, but I'm new and don't know what to do. Thanks a lot for helping me with this.

I got it all straightened out. I got the xmf file straight from the maker, pasted it in the mach folder, and after configuring a few buttons on the xbox controller, it works like magic. Sure beats trying to figure it out! Thanks for your help all, a little progress a day is all one can ask for.
