MachPro General Discussion / Re: Perfect DRO block.

« Last post by paul.stephens on September 29, 2026, 11:53:36 AM »

The easiest method, if you wish to have that, is to have a button on your widget called Edit Offsets.

You can have Edit Offsets toggle, Edit Offsets On, Edit Offsets Off. You will probably want Toggle or on.

To change this, Right click on the Widget below your DRO's → Select Configure Widget → Select "Change" on the button you want to have the button assigned to your command → Select Edit Offsets <Type> → Ok → Save.

This should give you the Edit DRO's you wish to have on the main GCode page.

You may run into the case of the text on the buttons disappearing on save, simply restart mach and the text will repopulate.

MachPro General Discussion / Re: Redundant Entries in Machine IO Tab

« Last post by paul.stephens on September 29, 2026, 11:43:57 AM »

Hi,

This Machine I/O tab is based off of enabled signals. It will show the enabled input signals and the enabled output signals automatically. There is a current visual bug I have noticed, where - If you go into edit screen, then go into Configure → Control..., This will duplicate the Enabled inputs. Restarting Mach should resolve this visual bug. I have reported this bug to our dev team.

Just to dive in a bit deeper, what homing method are you using? Index pulse, Home in Place, Off a Home | Limit Switch?

Thanks, I will do that. I had to put the router head back on for 3 days of paying work, so will reply after that.

I would double check the step/direction lines.
It sounds like when I have seen people swap the lines.
Also, verify the + and - on them.
Verify in the Warp9 plugin the correct pins are selected for the motor output.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Problem with Threading?

« Last post by Holzwurm56 on September 23, 2026, 04:41:42 AM »

Hello Manand,
thanks for your interest. I generate the index signal using a light barrier. The signal looks good on the oscilloscope. The spindle speed is stable. I am using version R3.043.066.
Thanks,
Hans

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Problem with Threading?

I’ve dealt with Mach3 threading problems like this before. The version does matter: the Mach3 documentation specifically mentions a major change to the threading code around R3.042.032, and that version was intended for a single-index setup. So I’d first check exactly which Mach3 build you are running.
That said, if the first 2–3 passes are correct and then the tool gradually moves off the thread, I would check the spindle index signal, index sensor, debounce setting, and spindle RPM stability before changing versions. Mach3 has to see a consistent index pulse on every revolution to synchronize the Z movement correctly.
