OK then  Can you create a simple leads and switch arrangement to work as the probe. Then test to see if the problem reoccurs?

With your shielded wire are you grounding it on both ends or just one ?

Dave Are you trying the macro from inside the shuttle plugin or outside via CB editor. Could be IF you ran it from inside the shuttle it might  work ?

Just a thought, (;-) TP

Are you sure it is noise ??  Do you see it activate the Mach3 diagnostic led for the probe input?  Have you tried tripping the probe by hand?

Disconnect the probe from Mach3 and try it. Give it room to move on the machine. If it works then add a short wire and push switch as a test and try it again only trip it by hand.

If that works CHECK your wiring and CONTACTS inside the probe. Could be a bad contact or solder joint.

Just a note , Hoods code worked here as well. (;-) The safety was added to allow you to break OUT of the loop if needed. IF your Input1 relay failed it would stay in the loop as a never ending loop with no way out. With the safety as soon as you pushed the safety button and it changed the value of the safety DRO it would break out of the loop and allow you to continue without having to shut down the computer completely.

You can compile the CB macros with the mach3 CB editor.

So it seems that when Art did the plugin he locked out all outside functions as LONG as the plugin was active.

HUM, I'll have to think on that one.

Maybe Scott has an idea.

DAVE(;-) WHICH plugin are YOU running?

OK I'll give it some more thought. DID you happen to change the buttons to NONE on the shuttle for the jog axis selection??

COuld be they used some magic monkey dust in the plugin to fool us mortals.

Did you make sure that on the flyout you had selected JOG MODE as MPG ?

Just thinking out loud, (;-) TP

Dave I believe that SCOTT had the plugin code  after Art did it to make MODs to it.

Try something. Open the jogging flyout(TAB)  and see if you can use the altA button to change the Axis. IF they used that method then there is a COde

OemButton(175) that toggles between xyzabc just like it does on the flyout screen.
