Finished Screens / Re: Mach3 2010 Screenset - Now available

« on: October 24, 2014, 12:21:32 AM »

I just set up the zero probing this evening.  It works exactly as I would expect.  It comes down, touches the plate, backs off a few hundredths, comes back down more slowly, then moves to the clearance plane setting.  I can run the simple zero multiple times and it works every time, except in one case.   I start a cycle, let it run for a bit, then hit the stop button to stop the job. If I try to simple zero again, it does the first part of the process the same, but when it backs off, it is backing off approximately 1/2 an inch instead of a few hundredths.  Then it gives up before it gets back down to the plate again. If I shut down MACH3 and reopen, it works just fine again. I've repeated this multiple times.

I've got a 4.7k pullup and a small ceramic capacitor on the input, so I don't think I am getting any noise.  I could snag an o-scope from work to double check if need be, but this only seems to occur after I run a cycle.

Do I have something configured incorrectly?

Thanks,
Jason

That was it.  Auto-Calculator was the option.  Thanks!

General Mach Discussion / Can't type numbers into edit boxes

« on: August 25, 2014, 11:18:00 AM »

I have been configuring MACH3 for my new mill.  When I started I could type numbers into any of the edit boxes normally.  I'm not sure what I changed, but now every time I click in a box to edit it, it brings up a dialog that looks kind of like a calculator that I hav eto use the mouse to click on the buttons.  How do I change it back so it works in a normal fashion?
