So I have a pokeys57CNC that is working great for me. Nothing fancy, just a simple 3 axis router using a trim router for a spindle so I need to manually change all tooling. I use the probe for the first tool setup in the g-code and it works great. The issue arises with all subsequent tool changes. For the second tool change in the middle of the program, the program stops and tells me that it needs a tool change. The issue is that I can not jog or probe without stopping the program. The buttons are greyed out. So I usually stop the program and jog to a comfortable tool changing area. Tool gets changed and it needs to be probed again to offset Z axis. When I press the probe button for Z the machine does not move. I press the probe button again and it is like it hits a limit. The probing stops and the axis disable. Once I enable the machine again the probing will work again and I can use the 'start from this line' button to resume the program.
I am using fusion360 post processor for generic Mach 3 with all tools set to manual tool change and live tool is unchecked.
Please tell me there is a better way of doing this.
Thanks,
Phuk
