Mach4 General Discussion / code conversion Mach 3 to Mach 4
« on: February 03, 2021, 08:20:02 AM »
So I have a piece of code produced as an exercise in Mach3.
I try to load it into Mach 4 as a test routine .
An error comes up saying unrecognised code in line 1 which is "G18 G64 G80 G90 G40 G49 "
Now not being sure of all the codes I just deleted line 1 to see if it would work presuming there would be defaults in there which would work anyway.
So now when I load into Mach 4 it is happy to load and run but with crop circles on the display and the machine happily follows these in run mode .
I have had these before in Mach 3 and I seem to remember it being to do with the absolute or incremental modes
Can anyone remind me how to change these in Mach 4
Which piece of code in line one is upsetting mach 4 and why?
It surprises me that code is not portable between on and the other
