Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Resetting machine coordinates in G code program

« on: July 22, 2015, 06:54:53 AM »

have you tried it in the editor with a g code running it works that way

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance(0);
    mc.mcCntlCycleStop(inst);
    mc.mcAxisHome(inst, 0);
    wx.wxSleep(5);
    mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst);

this works in a button it`s not the best way to do it

give it a year bask function is fine 3 Axis with limits switches and probing, you have to have acc and velocity bang on as well, and there is a lot of info in this forum on lua but a lot of the time you have to make a start on the code before you get help, there is a probing screen set don't ask me how to set it up. I ask for instructions for setting it up got no reply

for me I like to use the fancy bits and bobs other than tool table stuff my cad does that, all types of probing always use it, laser zero for x and y, soft limits don't use it on big machine, small I use soft and hard limits and MPG.

for my dad tool height probing, laser zero for x and y,cycle start, feed hold, stop, E stop( x, y and z work pieces max and min dro) and that`s all he just wont`s put ya code in chuck the material on the table zero it and start cutting all done with his MPG when M4 is working better his screen set is one page x,y,z dro with ref home and zero, G code and tool path with a couple of buttons why I do the fancy stuff so he can just cut

yes  what ever you wont you could have it do, it`s just scripting needed if you get the M4 scripting manual it has how to do tables in it
