Will updating my install of Avid CNC Mach4 version to the newest from their website break any of my customizations? I’m still using version 2.2.0 from Dec 2020. I’m only think of upgrading because the revision history shows you can have it warm you to home prior to runing G-code. Im sure there are …

Oh gosh! Over 60% of my tool change code is error checking. It will probably get higher in the coming weeks as I get ready for release. On my system I use the tool setter for breakage and I have a sensor on the carousel to tell if there is a tool in the pocket before I dock it. The breakage means …

Emailed Warp9 and they think they found the problem. Apparently, there is a delay after the touch that is causing the problems with my G-Code TLO subroutine. Below is the response I received from Greg at Warp9. They are going to do some testing but it sounds like they might have a fix soon so I’m n…

[image] KDRusty: I was hoping try Corbin Dunn’s ATC setup but I still want my tool length setter to work. I’m planning on adding support for this at some time. What input pin(s) do you have it setup to? What particular setter are you using? If you have some time, also email me your custom mac…

For the TLO, I use a G-Code subroutine. Worked wonderfully until I updated Mach and the ESS. I’m not the original writer…I found it on the NFS Mach4 support forum. As for the tool length setter, I don’t remember who made it. Ordered it from Europe before COVID. It isn’t labeled on the outside. I us…
