no problem, thanks again

Gerry is the man!

With the new macro's the machine is working like it should.

Thanks a lot!

I too have a Chinese USB controller.
Could you post the special macros here?
That would be awesome!

I'll .zip them up when I get home.
And I'll put them on my website for download.

Here's a link.

Thank you!

Gerry I purchased your screen set a few months ago and now finally thinking about installing.  Does it work with the Ethernet ESS controller which I now have on my new Fine Line Automation  Saturn 2 router.

Yes, it does. There are probably several hundred, if not a thousand or more, ESS users using the 2010 screenset.

So im having abit of a odd problem with this screen, and its with this auto zero routine. Im pretty sure there is just some small problem im overlooking, but instead of scratching my head for a month of 2, im just gonna ask

So ive placed my fixed plate on my cnc bed, and the routine runs fine, it zeros on the moveable plate, then moves to fixed. But everytime, the tool starts milling in the air.

If i run the routine for just auto zeroing on the movable plate, it works just fine. And im not really sure where to start problem solving this.

I have installed noise capacitors, so it shouldnt be that.

Anyone have any idea?

Is this after a tool change? Does the g-code have a tool length offset (G43)? If so, does your tool table have tool lengths in it for that tool?
