General Mach Discussion / Re: VB Script from g-code problem

Does the m-code file go right into the root directory or does it go into one of the macro folders? ive got it in a few places already.

Ok ive moved it to a few folders now. What it does now is it just pauses on the M-code call and sits there. No message box nothing

Ive named the file above M100. But i still get the same effect. I run my g-code then when it gets up to M110, it will just skip over it and continue the program. Running M110 within the script editor presses the reset button like it should but when its called after a few steps in the g-code it just skips over.

Sorry i meant when M6 was ignored which is the name of the macro i made not anyhting inbuilt. I renamed the macro to RESET.m1s and i tried calling that

eg:

G00 X0.000 Y0.000 Z10.00
G00 Z10.00
RESET

I get "unknown word starting with eLine 2"

Thanks for your reply. I should change my filenames. Its just a empty script file with DoOEMButton(1021) inside. Even if i save it as RESET.m1s and call RESET in the g-code it still errors out.

General Mach Discussion / VB Script from g-code problem

Hi, I'm relatively new to the Mach 3 software and its features. I've been looking around trying to run some scripts from a .nc g-code file. In the script editor I have some code to activate the reset button eg: DoOEMButton(1021)
This code works fine via the script editor. I saved the file as M6.m1s and then within my g-code :

G00 X10 Y10
M6

I was expecting it to stop and the reset button trips. All the program does is continue over the M6 finish the rest of the g-code.
Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the script? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
