Mach4 General Discussion / No GCode Movement after pressing stop

« on: May 02, 2019, 04:42:39 AM »

Hi,

when I press stop to interrupt a running gcode - afterwards it is not possible to:
- Start gcode loaded from file
- Start MDI Gcode
- use GUI buttons which do movments, for example go to work zero.

But this is still working:
- Homing
- Jogging

I can press Stop, Reset, Enable, Disable - nothing changes this "not working movement" state, until i restart the program.
And yes, my Mach 4 is lisenced.
No text in the last Error Text line.

Any idea what this could be?
Where to se the Mach 4 status, what might explain me why there is no movement any longer?

Hi Craig,

maybe this is a missunderstanding due to my bad english translation, but I want to point out my thank you to all of you and will implement a solution based on your ideas.

Thank you for your effort.
That is a pity, because if you have a double pound, you can not distinguish them.
Only solution then is, to do the touching two times, and react on the different signals hoping the touch spot keeps the same.

Thank you for pointing me there.
But its only the numbers, not the enum. For that reason my text search through all documents found no match.

And it is only the G31 variables not the others for G31.1,...

Thank you Cbyrdtopper.
Any way to reach out to the developers to improve documentation on this?

Would even be great to have the known enums in the scripting documentation and not "only" in the forum from a community Member. Would be easier to find for new users.

There are multiple probe Inputs:
G31.1, G31.2,...

If you touch with a 3d Probe on the tool length sensor in order to find the TLO offeset for the 3d Probe - it is neccessary that two Probe inputs trigger. The one for the Tool length sensor (G31.1) and the one for the 3d edge finder (G31.2) wich triggers afterwards.
Then there are 2 differenzt Z Positions - which difference then is the switch hysteresis for the 3d Probe.

So there must be this set of variables for each Probe input G31.1 G32.2,... I think there are 4 of them in Mach 4.

Hello,

None of the provided Documentation documents this:
mc.mcCntlGetPoundVar(inst, mc.SV_PROBE_POS_Z)
It is not included in the scripting manual.

Where ist a list, that explains SV_PROBE_POS_Z ?
Also mcCntlGetPoundVar is not in the scripting manual, only in examples.


I assume SV_PROBE_POS_Z is the last Probe G31.1 Z in WCO.
But how to get the other probe coordinates and how to get them in Machine coordinates?

Any Idea how to find those magic numbers used in all the mcCntlGetPoundVar examples?

Thank you for this hint jacob, yes I found a build in DRO. It is even possible to enter a custom number there.
