Dave I finally got this going. I am embarrassed to say that the primary problem in not getting the mill to take the z axis down to the TP was the fact that I had gotten in the habit of pulling the probe jack out of its input so I could store the probe safely out of harms way. Of course this gives th...

Dave: It all worked out as you described. I believe that something self inserted the data file that was in there before. I deleted it and am just using the note pad exe as my g-code editor. Bob-Cad wants me to buy another "seat" to put Predator (Bob CAD/CAMs g code editor) on my mill compu...

Dave: Again, thank you for yourprompt reply. I checked and here are the editors that are listed in the windows for each: Non-gcode editor: c\windows\system 32\notepad.exe G-Code Editor: C:\Documents and settings\Administrator\My Documents\g code files\ rectangle test.tap PDF Reader: C: \Program File...

Can you tell me how I would check to see if the G code editor is configured for MSM?

Thanks

I have had MSM installed now for about three weeks and am not able to edit G code that I load in MSM. I get the following window when I hit the edit button; "Windows can't start the G code editor ( C:\Documents and settings\ Administrator\ My Documents\ Goode files\ rectangle test.tap) Err: 51 ...

Dave Just tried your suggestion. Here is what happened...I disconnected the probe which I had successfully hooked up and used on pin 11 with a 220 K ohm resistor between pin 11 and the 5v connect for pin 11. I used a 2.47K ohm resistor in series from the tool clip to pin 11 ( the 220K ohm resistor r...

Dave Haven't had a chance to try your suggested testing yet, swapping the Probe for the TP. However, I'd like to mention that I am going to have to get some advice to do that. Currently I have my inputs all pulled down on my BOB (C-10 from CNC4pc), therefore per the instructions for the CNC4pc probe...

The answer to question 1 is yes the probe works very well with LED for input signal working correctly. Probe works with corner probing etc.

With respect to question 2., When I hook up TP to same input signal as probe the TP triggers the LED when touched to frame of machine.

Dave From the happy faces you posted I think you thought from my last reply that I had fixed the problem. That isn't the case. I was referring to the fact that I have had the max distance set to 10 inches all along. I think with all the trouble I am having I will be satisfied with not using the touc...

I have the TCP TP installed , Max Dist DRO set to 10.00.
