Maybe I am just being dense  but I can't seem to get the probing to work on the new Mach 4. I can get a G31 command entered into the MDI to work. It moves down and when I ground the probe it stops. Thoughts about what I am doing wrong. I would love to get the auto tool touch off working.

have set it up, button to the right of auto home button. auto tool setting`s

I have tried. Not sure what the Gcode setting is for. I typed in 31 thinking that a G31 probe is what is called for. Any thoughts or a screen shot of a sample set up would be appreciated.

I have not had time to test it my self try G31 it shows in the .ini file what you set it to

Tried entering G31 into the setup box. Nothing happened...   thoughts?

Has anyone made autotool touch off work on these new screens? I would like to know if I should keep trying or wait for the next release.

I am also having issues with this. ( And a lot of other stuff )

I made g31 work by double inverting the probe signal once in ESS plugin and once in Mach Config then g31 worked - guess two wrongs do make a right

Now i have red through the lua script and it seems all good and also the screen setup. but for me M4 says "No scripting engine found for C:\Mach4.......\mcProbing.lua" when debugging same for mcAutoTool.lua

So scripting engine seems to be the bad guy for now - still investigating....

check your plugins and make sure you have the lua plugin activated.

Yep found it! Now i have the script running but no movement. When i run the debugger it says:

Failed reading from the debugger socket. Debugger wxLUASOCKET_DEBUGGEE_EVENT_ERROR
Got a socket error trying to read. Address '172.17.2.159'. Port 62704.

for the mcAutoTool.lua

and

At Breakpoint line: 7 file: C:\Mach4Hobby\Profiles\Mach4Mill\Macros\m7001.mcs

What am i doing wrong?

I see your trying to run the autotool script from the modules directory, unfortunately this will not work, if you look in your screen load script within the screen editor you will see that before the autotool loads it loads another file called mastermodule, this holds the mm commands.
