Mach4 General Discussion / m6 macro
« on: July 15, 2022, 11:14:32 AM »
The error attachment is the error on the m6.mcs bottom window box , after i load mach4 4809 ? . The 2 nd attachment is the m6 macro i copied from a mach 4 video on youtube. When i run a m6 command from MDI window , , it goes to the correct position in the script , but when i hit the OK to probe , it says it is probing but no movement from the Z axis and the diagnostic window on Mach 4  does not show the probe active . Is there something missing from the script ?  .  Mach 4 --Smoothstepper ESS -- Gecko 540  .

      Thanks

Share Your GCode / Turn A axis
« on: October 07, 2021, 09:06:44 AM »
If i enter G53 A 9000 etc , in the  mdi screen  A axis will turn until it reaches the posted degrees . What i would like to do , is insert it into a gcode file and have it run until the file has finished .

Mach4 General Discussion / Macro or script for A axis
« on: September 08, 2021, 02:25:14 PM »
I would like to make a macro or script to put into Mach 4 latest version , to activate my rotary axis and have it turn constant . I want it to act like a lathe , and be able to run a g code file separately while it is turning . I want it to act like the spindle , push a button on the mach 4 screen to start it turning and push button to stop rotation . I can put in the feed rates for A axis , the reason i want it to run constant is , otherwise i would have to change the length or the work piece in the routine . I want to turn table leg profiles .

    Thank you
