you can see in diagnosic page the M1++ and M1-- led's changing?
if you only have one limitswitch you have to set Limit++ and Limit-- to the same port/pin.

in Settings page "Override Limits" is off?

Gcode as used by mach3 or Mach4Hobby does not include conditional statements. with Cypress Enable.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Problems when switching from mill to plasma profile

« on: January 24, 2019, 01:51:18 PM »

ok,
no idea how you switched from Mach3Mill to Mach3Plasma Profile.
here a small description "how" i would "Switch".

i do not know your profilename, ok let's say it is "MyMach3Mill".

then there should be in "C:\Mach3" (ok whereever you installed Mach3 basicly),
a file like MyMach3Mill.xml.

now make a copy of this file (in the same Folder), and rename it to:
"MyMach3Plasma".xml

ok now the "Mill" Profile is copied to a "Plasma" Profile.

you have probably a shotcut on your Desktop to run the "MyMach3Mill" "Version" of Mach3 ??!

copy this as well,
open properties

there should be something like this to find:

C:\Mach3\Mach3.exe /p MyMach3Mill


Change this to C:\Mach3\Mach3.exe /p MyMach3Plasma


now start this shortcut, (everything should be exact the same like in Mill Profile),

now you can load the Plasma Screenset (View -> Load Screens -> Plasma.set).

and you should a 1 by 1 copy of your Mill Profile.

General Mach Discussion / macro on startup/screenset load

« on: January 24, 2019, 05:46:02 AM »

Hi,
i am sure i have read that there is a possibilty of a macrocall on statup or screesetload.
macro has to have a specific Name, and to be at a specific place.

not the Thing with the Initialisation string in General config.

i have searched now for two hours, but cant find it anymore.

maybe someone can remember, seem's i am getting to old.

Hi,

my knowledge of this Kind for remote control is too less, to be a help.
depending on the "Age" of mach3 i would say it will not work on an
PC witch has an actual Win Version on, but i do not know for sure.

maybe someone else, has more Experience about this.

Hi,
well then download Mach4.

There is no way you will get a Mach4.dll file if you are fiddling around with Mach3.

I have Mach4Hobby and it has several .dll files in the main Mach4Hobby directory. They are complied so I don't think
they will be of much use to you but they are there...you can have them for free.

Craig

Craig,
however the Mach3 ActiveX Interface was covered in the Mach4.dll, has nothing to do with Mach4 itselve.
if you have a look to the mach3 Folder, there is a mach4.tlb witch is a binary file that stores information
about a COM or DCOM object's properties and methods in a form that is accessible to other applications at runtime.
