The pendent I am using is a little different than the one in this setup
1) I dont have a enable button on the side of my pendent.
2) The pendent I am using does not have an e-stop  button on it

does not matter just skip them, the pricipal is the same.

if you use

Code: [Select]

  Code "G0 G53 Y"&toolpos1 'move Y-axis

insted of your code and you can enter numbers directly to dro 66.123 will be 66.123 in real

if you want an Offset to 66 use

Code: [Select]

  temp = 66 + toolpos1
  Code "G0 G53 Y"&temp 'move Y-axis

if it is hardwired to lpt2 you will not Need any plugin at all.

toolpos1 to toolposx are coming from OEMDro's at beginning of code

Code: [Select]

toolpos1 = GetOemdro(1001)
toolpos2 = GetOemdro(1002)
...
...


so you have to create a custom Screen, where you can set the Dro's corresponding to your particular tool.

this line of code

Code: [Select]

Code "G0 G53 Y" & toolpos1 'move Y-axis

is only the combination of fix code, in this case "G0 G53 Y" added by the "&" and value of variable toolpos1

let's value of toolpos1 = 1234 the excecuted code would be

G0 G53 Y1234

maybe you can post your actual code.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Z moves down after Ref All home and hits base

« on: January 15, 2020, 02:12:29 AM »

if you go to Config -> Homing/Limits there is a collumn Home Neg. where you can select the dirction of homing.

from the Manual:

5.6.1.1 Referencing speeds and direction
The Config>Home/Softlimits dialog allows you to define what happens when a reference
operation (G28.1 or a screen button) is performed.
Figure 5.16 Shows the dialog. The Speed% is used to avoid crashing into the stop of an axis
at full speed when looking for the reference switch.
When you are referencing, Mach3 has no idea of the position of an axis.
The direction it moves in depends on the Home Neg check boxes. If the relevant box is checked then the
axis will move in the minus direction until the Home input becomes active. If the Home
input is already active then it will move in the plus direction. Similarly if the box is
unchecked then the axis moves in the plus direction until the input is active and the minus
direction if it is already active.

just install a Screen Editor like machscreen and open an existing wizard and see how it is done.

Code: [Select]

If (toolnew = 1)then
   Code "G0 G53 X105" 'move X-axis
   While ismoving()
      Sleep 100
   Wend
   Code "G0 G53 Y"&toolpos1 'move Y-axis
   While ismoving()
      Sleep 100
   Wend
   Code "G0 G53 Z105" 'move Z-axis
   While ismoving()
      Sleep 100
   Wend
End If

you have to replace the 105 with your machine coords you whant to use!!!!!!!!!

Brains Development / Re: Comparing DRO´s in a Brain

« on: January 14, 2020, 07:22:58 AM »

here is a small sample

added 0.125 to dro(1300) and stored it in dro(1301)
subtracted 0.125 from dro(1300) and stored it in dro(1302)

then compared both with x-axis dro and result is Led(1300)

not tested just written down
