« on: March 30, 2019, 01:25:14 AM »Hi,QuoteMACH4 and MACH3 do have some gcodes and mcodes that are different.
What ones? There are a couple (m161 and m162) that get used for laser ops but as far as I know all the rest are the same.

There are some more:-
You cannot repeat the cycle G code on every line like you could in Mach3.
Mach3 would allow:
G83 X.. Y.. Z.. R.. Q..
G83 X.. Y.. Z.. R.. Q..
G83 X.. Y.. Z.. R.. Q..
G80
...
Mach 4 requires:
G83 X.. Y.. Z.. R.. Q..
X.. Y
X.. Y
G80
Threading on the lathe (G76) is Fanuc compatible and Mach3 threading code will just not run in Mach4.
M10 and M11 for THC not supported in Mach4
There are others which I haven't listed yet
(i have both MACH 4 and Mach3 reference guides).
