Hello,

At the moment i have a working dual head setup with some hickups:

If i probe both spindles after each other, all is good. If i don't (because only one tool gets changed), strange things happen with my Z offset.
The spindle last probed is correct, but the other spindle gets the wrong settings, as if some measures get accumulated.

Same thing happens when i put the call for the module function in a toggle button. If i manually swap between the router and spindle, the z value keeps adding up and i loose my correct Z height.

Strangest thing is this works perfectly during usage with my m6 file. Ik can swap multiple times between router/spindlewithout losing my Z refence height. This can be done for multiple gcode files after each other also.

The problem starts when i do a button swap or don't probe both after each other..

same code used for M6/probing/button.

Do i need to tackle this differently to get these problems sorted?

code below:

function zControl.UseRouter()
if (zControl.UnmapMotors() == 1) then  --Return out of UseRouter if unmapmotors returns an error
return 1 --failure
end

mc.mcAxisMapMotor(inst, mc.Z_AXIS, Router)
mc.mcAxisMapMotor(inst, mc.A_AXIS, Spindle)
mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_X, OffsetX)
mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_Y, OffsetY)

--mc.mcSignalSetState(h_RELAY2, 1) --Future dust collection
local axisID, rc = mc.mcMotorGetAxis(inst,Router) --Z axis maakt deel uit van variable rc om return code te bekomen
local state = mc.mcSignalGetState(h_OUTPUT4)
if ((axisID == mc.Z_AXIS) and (state == 0)and (rc==mc.MERROR_NOERROR)) then
mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, 'Router active - Output set')
return

else
mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, "Router or output not activated / process stopped")
mc.mcCntlEnable (inst, false)
end
end
