Yes, the limits (And probe) activate in the UC100 screen - and on the MACH3 diagnostics screen. Just as they did before the reboot.
The issue is the DoButton(24) script command ignores the activated switches and screws ever onwards to impact at the physical end of travel (unless one emergency stops this process).
As a test I removed the DoButton commands for the scripts, leaving the DoOEMButton lines, which I understand should zero the machine coordinates. Nothing, Nada, Zilch effect. Put the machine by hand anywhere, activate the script and no change to the DROs.
My tool zero script detects the tool location, but then retreats and will not stop at its prescribe retract level or at the limit switch. AND although it detects the touch plate, it does not zero either Z DRO
Could it be that something is causing the program not to recognise or act on "Do" script commands? If so what setting must change to reactivate them?
This is of course very frustrating, as the machine was working perfectly before I reinstalled Mach3 in an attempt to fix a different problem - fatal program crash on loading some text files. And, nothing was changed on the PC or the machine between the uninstall and the reinstall.
Since my last post I have reinstalled twice more. I even downloaded a fresh copy of Mach3. I even went through the registry bu hand and removed all traces of Mach3 before doing yet another reinstall. I even system restored the PC to an earlier time and did yet another reinstall .I can do the config process in record time now, but to no avail. Whatever mistake I am making, I keep making it. I have even done the config to get the machine moving
and then changed one setting at a time to try and find a fix. Nothing.
As a last resort I will write a script based on my too zeroing script in place of the standard one, but i doubt that can succeed because the part of that script that zeros the Z DRO does not appear to be working
Any other ideas anyone please? At the moment I have a boat anchor for a dinghy, because I can't even figure out a way to set to zero the machine coordinates at the stops by some handrauilc means.
