Mach4Plasma stops on M3
« on: August 14, 2024, 12:52:15 PM »
Hi all,

Needs some help with Mach4, I've been using Mach3 for years and my old pc went down so decided to upgrade the controller and the PC at the same time. I'm using Pokeys57CNC control along with there PlasmaSens THC. I have everything moving and setup per the documents but I'm having an issue where when starting a cut it will go down and probe then return to cut height, fire the torch and will not move any farther.  I've included a onedrive link below of the problem and was hoping someone could help me.  I've also include the Gcode and my M3 macro (mach4 original) I'm thinking its a setting in Mach that I'm missing because I can delete the M3 macro from the folder and it moves forward and cuts with no issue, it just doesn't probe. I'm using build 5454, I know its a developer version but I'm having the same issue on the 5036 version. Thank you in advance.

thank you for your reply.  I bought Mach4 and wish i hadn't.  It's no where near ready in my opinion.  I just reinstalled Mach3, set everything up and it's working great.
