General Mach Discussion / Re: INITIALIZATION HOME

Hi Graham, the script you made works great I tried it.
I would like to ask you, since I control the start cycle from an external button via Modbus and Brains.
I tried to command the button by setting execute button script at the lobe termination, but it doesn't work.
can you help me?

General Mach Discussion / CONTINUATION OF PROCESSING AFTER STOP CYCLE ONLY WITH SPINDLE ON

« on: January 14, 2024, 12:09:43 PM »

Good evening everyone, during the execution of the work cycle, it may happen that you need to interrupt the cycle by giving the Stop cycle, and then restart from that stopping point.
However, if you start the cycle, processing starts again regardless of whether the spindle is turning or stopped. This can lead to breakage of the cutter or damage to the machine.
I ask if there is an option in Mach 3 that can ensure that the cycle cannot restart until the spindle is turned back on... Or if anyone knows, perhaps even through a script, how to manage this thing

Hi Graham, sorry I haven't replied to you since I've been away for a long time.
I did what you recommended, I'll try to run it on the machine tomorrow. I'll let you know as soon as possible thanks for now.

thanks for your answer.  So, however, I'm forced to do a homing every time I work a piece... I meant a block that if I don't make a zero of the machine coordinates the first time I load mach 3 the programs and even the MDI don't run.
 To understand Linuxcnc has this setting by default

Good morning everyone,
Is it possible to make it mandatory before executing a program to home the axes with mach3? Reset axes in machine coordinates?

Buongiorno a tutti,
è possibile rendere oblligatorio prima di eseguire un programma fare la home degli assi con mach3? Azzerare gli assi nelle coordinate macchina?

hi Marsha I downloaded and tried that screen .. touch screen .. but in fact the header remains ..
I would be especially interested in a screen for 7 inch touch screen ...
Craig I wanted to ask you if from mach3 to mach4 it is necessary to change the electronics?

hi zafarsalam, i am a new user too, i found your work on the application of potentiometers very useful and beautiful.
I tried to implement the code to add control buttons but failed.
I started from your sketch I implemented the entries but there is no way to make the buttons work.
Could you kindly explain to me and tell us where to go to edit the sketch?
