NFS Powerfeed XY wizzard V1.1
« on: August 02, 2011, 06:21:55 PM »
I am a newbie to mach3, I just recently purchased license for mach 3 and the wizards I do have my mill all setup and running. When I tried the powerfeed wizard i came across a problem with the feed hold <space bar> every thing worked okay until I did a feed hold and then tried to resume. Nothing would move so I did some investigating and found that I would have to go back to the main screen and hit <cycle start> then the mill would resume from where it had stop and it would also do any other moves if you pushed more than one button to start the resume. The status screen would show "cannot reverse run from feed hold" even if I resumed in the same direction.
Any help to resolve this would be appreciated. Thank you.

The wizard works by generating lines of Gcode and executing them. So you are in fact running a program with it, so feed hold needs a start button. I dont recall why I didnt put one on the screen.

You could hit the reset button twice, that will clear the stop and be ready to run again.
