simple macro not working,
« on: February 19, 2019, 01:05:55 PM »
I have made a simple macro for mach3 to move my z down by .0001 but this script does not seem to be working
I have named it M100.m1s I made it in text editor and vb script editor. but it does not seem to run, what am I doing wrong?
it does work when I run it in vb script editor but not when i run it from mdi

ok i have tested here, and you are right.
for what ever reason M100 does not work, try M101.M1S
anything is possible, just try to do it.
