Viewing Macros
« on: December 02, 2022, 07:45:54 AM »
Hi New guy here
I recently purchased a desktop Mach3 6040 5 axis cnc from ChinaCNCZone. The problem I'm experiencing is that the support sucks mostly because of the language barrier.
There are a bunch of custom M-code macros included; however, I don't know what the macro (m-code) functions are because I'm unable to view the files or get a list of the m-code functions. Can anyone here point me to a method of reading these macros?

You should be able to open and read any of the M***.m1s macros using notepad as they are text files.

Thanks. I feel like a complete dummy. Now I have to relearn basic. I really don't like coders that won 't or in such a hurry as to not make remarks so other people can understand the code. Thanks again.
