While you are waiting - you could watch these - some very good info here although some of it won't make sense until you start cutting .

To whom it may concern,

We are currently running a filament winder using Mach3 Wind, and have just recently upgraded to Mach 4 and are having trouble setting it up with our winder.
I would appreciate a phone call to help us get our system running - we're currently using a mix of Kollmorgen and DuraTRUE Micron servos with Kollmorgen drives and a Galil controller.

Antytime tomorrow between 9am - 2pm works or anytime between 9 - 3 next week.

Please feel free to email me a response at:
dtettmann@cesaroni.net

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, tried both solutions, the dobutton(27) also waits for cycle start to be pressed if called from a gcode, the other one works if I run it in the editor, but if called from a gcode it just does not home the axis, but does not wait for cycle start.

Regards Morten

Thanks GOOMBA, I did try it with no luck. It sounds like it would be arc ok. All it dose is probe then starts torch then stops and not move. Wallerawang I ordered the TMC 3in1 board from CNC4PC and just waiting for it then I will have to rewire it. I will be needing your help when all back together. Thanks again for all your help.

I am using V Carve Desktop 10.5 while machining a sign the (Cncest CNC 6040) will cut the required depth for half the lettering then for no reason will automatically cut up to 3mm deeper. I haven't a clue what is going on, maybe I should reload my mach3 or V Carve program. Any help will be appreciated.

The red leds will go green after you have homed the machine, the dropping is another issue, could be the steppers powering down or dodgy code in the M6 macro.
