Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Touch Probe spradic input flicker and won't probe

« on: April 21, 2022, 10:49:14 AM »

It sure looks to me like you are getting noise in the system.
A bad connection?
I have never used a G540 so do not know anything about it.
I use an ESS and PMDX-126.
I have had strange things happen with a bad ribbon cable between the 2.

I don't use a probe but do use the Probe input for a tool setter.
Never had a problem.
I would check the probe and/or wiring.
I use an ESS and it has noise filtering settings for the inputs.
Have you tried that if it is available on your controller?

Are you using stepper motors?
If you are I am guessing the speed or acceleration is too high

It will take a little coding.
Here is a doc that might help.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Change default tool number when starting Mach4

« on: April 13, 2022, 08:33:28 AM »

There might be an easier way but you can put some code in the plc script.
At the bottom is a section that only runs one time at startup.
You should be able just put the following line.
mc.mcToolSetCurrent(inst, 0)

I really dont know if this makes any difference or not because I dont use it but will it work correctly doing the 2 in the other order?
Pocket probe first then the Z

It sounds to me that you have some of the pins incorrect.
When you hook the 2 motors up you have one of them to pins that are designated for an e-stop
