General Mach Discussion / Saving

« on: April 26, 2016, 06:18:42 PM »

Hi I need help.  I get mach3 working on my z axis limit switch so it doesn't kick off on a false limit switch tripping I save the settings but when I save in gen. It doesn't save and when I reopen mach3 it goes back to the old setting. What am I doing wrong.  Please help...

Yes I have. I just found how to change my dro s from linear  to angular.  But I don't know why my x is moving slightly when my a moves when called.  It's almost like it is getting a power feed from somewhere. Other than that it's all fine. I ran part of a long gcode and it did the same thing every time.

I haven't calibrated it yet as I was just air cutting but I noticed the when my gcode was running when the a axis turns the x axis moves -0026 for no reason do you have any ideas why.

Hi. I am air cutting to see if my limit switches falsely kick. 1 problem that I have noticed is that my x axis has moved -.1675 and is supposed to stay at 0. Does anyone know what could be the problem

Hi all. I would like to know how to calibrate my a axis spindle in degrees of turn and what are all the settings I would have to set up in mach3 for this.
