For woodeorking use the g54 as top part reference ,is not good solution,you will have many thikness material ,and many times after you desighn and order material its arive not same thiknes,also you use many tools ,you cant give each tool onther g54
Best use the g54 as botom and use the tool  hight offset from tool table

first need to understand which cadcam you use and how you define there the material
because normally in that kind of controller (gcode like mach) the system not real interesting about yours material thickness
only date its need what  z need go down and which tool
in europe cnc its generaly come with cadcam that calculate this ,so first explain how you want to work on this cnc
and which cadcam you plan to use

1  .i have many M function that i build and inside each there many function ,in each Mcode
     always i put one on headr====>>"local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()",and no need any more
     but this last version its not work ,i must put this statement on each function
2.  i know that mach take all m function in 1 file ,but i never had problem when i had 2 function with  same name
     on 2 different M function,last version its not work ,if same name function not work ,need make each function other
     name
3. the tool path display ,before we had option to control colors now only in screen editor ,and its not  work well
    even you change line thickness its not change
4. last point its opposite not complain but thanks mach team ,they change the CV tuning ,its just work vert good
    i can run  in very good acc dccl  like 2500mm2 in 15m/min and corner perfect
    it wasn't before

you need contact the hardware supplier
i also had same problem but anther supplier ,and solve was with the plugin and driver(software)
do you use external cards like eternal relays,or inputs cards ? that need communication with the main card?

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: hold all axis also on jog

« on: April 01, 2019, 07:51:11 PM »

i do not want stop the gcode
its not alarm state
its just safty state
for example in this machine i have labeling system that apply label on parts
when the label cylinder is down i must hold any axis movement ,in any condition
no G0 no G1 no joging
but sure not stop the gcode
also in other machine i have safety ray protect  device
if you got into that area movement must hold at any case also
thanks
