Safe Z Macro
« on: February 16, 2016, 09:10:18 AM »
Can someone point me in the right direction to write a proper Mach3 macro that can be called up in the G code that will move the Z axis to Safe Z pos.
Thanks

Thanks

Figured it out, had to add a zero to the (104) made it (1004) and it now works fine!

something very strange going on here because doOEMButton 1004 is set single block mode
