Hi,
Sequence of events.
Mach4 and Controller are started.
Mill is homed.
DRO's are Zeroed.
Mill is move at the Center of X/Y of Table.
This shows Machine Coordinated Table position exactly correct.
When are shut down Mach4 and Controller are restarted.
Now the Current Position DROs shows the machine position values, but the Machine Coordinated DROs are now Zero requiring to rehome the machine every time?
This code is in the Load Screen Script.
What does it do?
It does not appear to store anything in the machine.ini file or the registry at least the one under Diagnostics.
Should the Machine Coordinates be saved each time Mach4 closes down and then be recalled with the code below at startup showing the Machine Coordinates current position?
Please advise.
Regards,
Mauri.
