TWEEAKIE, Unless YOU went into teh XML and made changes there is no way that mach3 SHOULD currupt teh XML. BUT there is a bug there that causes it. It is NOT your fault.

This happens with the LPT as well.

It is a LONG STANDING BUG.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Problem with G91 and G90 in macro - tool changer

« on: November 06, 2015, 05:31:58 PM »

OK first it is a BAD idea to call a macro from a macro with Code""  . Bad things can happen. There IS a way to do it check the latest manual for MACRO progamming .

If you need to switch back to Abs mode do it with  Code" G90"  I just tried it it works fine here in a turn macro.

(;-) It was a $7 xbox clone off of Amazon. Not really worth pursueing  .

Don't spend any time on this (;-) I had thought sense it ran as a HID device in windows it would be generic in nature. I guess the Plugin does not use the HID interface ??  

UCcnc runs it as an HID device.

OK Just to make sure this is CLEAR it is a Xbox360 clone.  Not a true xbox360. But it runs everything else I have tried it on.  It works the test screen in widows just fine. It runs fine with UCcnc .

There is only 1 light on the controller it is the analog ON light in between the thumb sticks.

I tried it on a licensed copy of M4( Industrial)  with no devices (Sim) and it does NOT work. It errors with device not found. Yes the device works just not in M4 setup this way.

Just a thought, (;-)TP

You can write to individual lines by number of teh line AND you can write to a specific Part of that line by position in that line.
