There are two xml's, that have the name of the used profile.
I added both.
The "MechaPlus-3S-Step-CNC.xml" was in directory "C:\Mach3"
The "MechaPlus-3S-Step-CNC_1.xml" was in directory "C:\Mach3\macros\MechaPlus-3S-Step-CNC". I renamed it, because before both files were named same.

Thanks!

OK I changed the macros to M664,M665 and M666 respectively. Although the manual (customization page 2.4) says users should use M90000 onwards, this seems to have changed and was causing the "overflow" error.

BUT - there are still problems. For some reason, turning on output 1 causes an e-stop and I can't figure out why. It even happens if you just use the standard M3. The "abnormal condition" warning is also flashing and again I don't know why.

Also you have the macropump turned on - why? - do you have a macropump macro?

Maybe someone else has some clues. All I know is the scheme I suggested works fine on my system.

Cheers

Ian

Great! :) It works!
Thanks a lot.

I tried it sometimes, and i get no errors or e-stops.
There is an macropump macro, but it is a copy of another control. So i deactivated the macropump in the settings, thanks for this too.

Thanks for your excellent help. The thread can be marked as solved (or can I do this?)

Best regards,
Jan

Hmmmmm - as I've said, it works fine on my system with my xml but not with your xml. Not sure why - but no matter - as long as it's working for you.

Cheers
