Ok, so have my CNC conversion at the stage where i wanted to make a part, several tool changes, two setups, both sides of part worked
First side went ok, changed the setup, set my offsets again.
First pass went ok, tool-change was requested and made (manual), path was cut correctly.
next tool change comes up - goes ok, machine faults out on run due to my tool being shorter and not realising it - the controller throws a limit error.
Ok, move bed up, re-cam the part so no first run, this time the tool change is ignored - machine just sits there idle waiting for me to push start as if the tool change had been made.
It did not move to tool change position so i took the tool out and pressed start, it carried on as if.
pressed stop, rewind, try again - same behaviour, no M6 macro
closed mach, restarted, re-homed, re-run - same, no M6 macro
I manually changed the tool to 1 from 6, re-run and it carried on merrily trying to run with the wrong tool loaded (it thought, spindle was empty)
I am getting really disheartened with the odd crap thats been going on here, i cant trust it all, its a crap-shoot if it will work or you will spend all day like today restarting and rehoming the damn thing.
Can anyone shed light on what can stop the macros running?
I had issues yesterday with the tool-setter macro not behaving, but i have not messed with that today and the macro pump is back to where it was before.
Arrrgh!
