Hi All,
I have recently added a winerack-style ATC for my OMNI CNC router. In the Mach3 configuration I have selected "Auto Tool Changer"; my gcode is generated from VCarve using the Mach3 ATC mm post-processor. All my tool-changing code is in the M6Start macro, the M6End macro is basically empty. The tool-change code in my g-code that is created by the post-processor looks something like:
End of previous tool routine ....
N450 M09
N460 T3M6
N470 G43H3
N480 S12000M03
N490 M08
Start of new tool routine ...
The M6Start routine seems to work perfectly: the previous tool is stored and new tool is collected but then the machine gets stuck after line N460 or N470 and it requires a Cycle Start to continue. My question is what is required for Mach3 to automatically continue using the next tool?
Any inputs or ideas would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards
Danie
