Hi Hood,
Went throught the optimisation steps again (properly this time!) and set the PC option to Standard PC in device manager.....ta darrrr !
Now works fine.
The M3 M5 macro to control the brake was stil not working so I reloaded mach and this is now functioning perfectly. (must have scrambled something when I had a few crashed running the driver test.
Entering M3 or M5 in the MDI line works fine too.
The only thing I have noticed is that the brake is not released if I start the spindle using the icon (in manual or auto screen) and ignores the delay I have programmed in the M3 macro. However the stop spindle icon does control the brake as required.
Does the icon run a different macro from that used by M3?
We have run a quick test to cut some "real metal"
Don't you just love it when a plan comes together :-)
Thanks for your help, we're chuffed to bits!
