Redirection from Gcode

M1000 R29    (R sets the Goto #)

o29 (o word somewhere in your code you need to GOTO)

M1000 Code        
Code"M98 P" & Param1()

A little strange but it does work

Just a thought, (;-)TP

This works here from the macropump. IF the led function is current then it bypasses the function .

'Axis Motion LED Control**********************
' X axis LED = 2000
' Y axis LED = 2001
' Z axis LED = 2002


'X axis LED Control***************************

If GetDro(6) > 0 And  GetUserLED(2000) = 0 Then
   SetUserLED(2000,1)
End If

If GetDro(6) = 0 And GetUserLEd(2000) = 1 Then
   SetUserLed(2000,0)
End If

' Y axis LED Control***************************

If GetDro(7) > 0 And  GetUserLED(2001) = 0 Then
   SetUserLED(2001,1)
End If

If GetDro(7) = 0 And GetUserLEd(2001) = 1 Then
   SetUserLed(2001,0)
End If

'Z axis LED Control*****************************
If GetDro(8) > 0 And  GetUserLED(2002) = 0 Then
   SetUserLED(2002,1)
End If

If GetDro(8) = 0 And GetUserLEd(2002) = 1 Then
   SetUserLed(2002,0)
End If

'End of File***********************************

End

OK look at the axis vel dro, if greater than ZERO turn on a LED else (if = to zero) turn the led off.

If GetDro(6) >0 then  ' If A axis is moving
SetUserLed(2000,1)   'A axis LED
Else
SetUserLed(2000,0)
END IF

Same for all axis you want to monitor.  You can run it as a Brain OR a macropump.

IF you run it as a Macropump ypou need to put in some code to bypass the function IF conditions are the same each pass of the pump to keep from bogging down the MP

 OR am I missing something?

Not exactly sure of what yall are doing BUT have you thought of using the "Execute Button Script" function to terminate the brain ?

There is NO conditional in Mach3 gcode.

NO gcode is not gcode everywhere (;-) there are MANY dialects that behave differently.

I don't recall G92 being a GOTO motion call it is an offset.

IF you can post a sample of what you have I can test it here.

Give this a whirl, there are MANY ways to do this .This is just a replication of how you described the motion.

Dobutton(22)   'RefX
While Ismoving()
Wend
SetDro(0,0)
DoButton(23)   'RefY
While Ismoving()
Wend
SetDro(1,0)
Code"G0 X4 Y4"   'move to new location
While Ismoving()
Wend
SetDro(0,0)
SetDro(1,0)
END

HIYA Alex,  Excellent 3d test file.  AND the new dry run feature handled it very well in case you are wondering(;-).

Does anyone have a large 3d cut file I can use for testing a DRY RUN simulator. The larger the better. The more complex the better.

AND a 4th axis cut file ?

Thanks(:-)TP

Mach3 is NOT a fanuc .  are you saying it does NOT MOVE as it is told OR the toolpath does not do as it should. The toolpath display has NEVER been correct but it has always cut correctly.
