I have noticed a problem with Mach3 or MSM, I'm not sure which. When ever I perform a reference all axis when homing, a manual tool change, or executing a G28 (park) command the MDIs don't want to respond input until I force a reset. Some times it can be very persistent and a reset doesn't clear it....

Hi Dave, One of the things I did to take advantage of MSM was installing a fixed tool probe. It's a half inch thick piece of 1.5" round mounted on top of a matching delrin base to insulate it from the table. Tonight I went to probe the length of my 2" facemill and realized that the inserts...

Are you talking about a hand check before every G31 probe move or only at the start of a probe operation sequence (for example "find the corner") ? Dave In this case, only before the start of a probe operation from the WC Offset screen. The purpose would be to verify the probe is function...

You have my sympathies, I have destroyed so many probe tips that I have spent more on replacement tips than the cost of the original probe. Dave, I was curious how hard it would be to add a check in the probing code to require triggering the probe by hand before the probe operation would proceed? I ...

I figured it out. The semi-colon is not used for block deletes, it is the forward slash ('/').

I'm not sure why Bobcad's post processor for Mach3 has the block delete character set to a semi-colon, but setting it to a forward slash allowed Mach3/MSM to work as expected.

I should add that when I remove the semi-colons from the beginning of the lines, the code executes as expected (sans the trailing comment on the M06 showing).

Hello, I've run into an odd problem that I have been thrashing on. I have g-code that I have generated in Bobcad V25 using a modified Mach3 profile. In several places I have pauses (M01) and tool changes (M6) codes. They are all prefixed with a semi-colon. ;N03 M01 (TOOL CHANGE: T1 S4 D.125 C.047 A6...
