Mach4 General Discussion / Mach 4 Hobby manual tool change

« on: May 21, 2022, 09:44:24 AM »

Hi,
Is it possible to pause Mach 4 after a tool path is completed to do a manual tool change and then resume the file for the next tool path?

Thank you.

Okay. I give up. I've tried every suggestion I've found here to no avail. I locked Mach 4 and have no password. Is there a default PW? Or where can I edit it in M4?  Thank you.

Mach4 General Discussion / New limit/homing switch settings

« on: April 22, 2020, 10:06:26 PM »

Hi All,

I put new limit switches in our home built cnc router. They were wired in series but i did it with a separate wire for each switch this time. Each negative line goes to a negative line on the power supply and each common line goes to an input on the Gecko G540 drive. The inputs are no's 2,3, and 4 x, y, z respectively). These are pins no's 11,12 and 13 on the Smart bob. 411. I Made my best guess as to the settings in inputs in Mach 4. When I click home xyz, the z goes to the limit switch, stops and backs off a bit like it should but x and y don't seem to see their switches. They just run into them and crash. I have the switches wired N/O. I double checked the wires and that the switches worked. What should the settings be in Mach 4?

Thank you.

Thanks so much, Craig. Any thoughts on re-downloading Mach 4 onto a different machine or do we need to contact support?

Mach4 General Discussion / Move Mach 4 to a new computer

Howdy All,

We have heard rumors that control software needs to be on it's own computer. All by itself. Apparently things like anti-virus, updates and notices can affect a job outcome. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? If we should move, how can we get the software from one computer to another w/o contacting support?

Thank you,
