Here is a sample program...give it a try and see if it plots two circular toolpaths in different work offsets. I highly doubt it can have anything to do with the ajax plugin/motion control but I would like some feedback from someone else just to confirm it's not just on my end. Thanks

I am using mach3 and have issues changing work offsets and using cutter compensation. Even though I am turnig off cutter comp before changing offsets I get crazy outputs. I have tried the code on three different comuters and it works except for the computer hooked to the mill. Before I go reinstalli...

Any updates on this issue? Has only happened twice but just thought I would check as this would be a nice safety feature. Thanks.

Cant seem to get my spindle brake to pulse after a M5 command. Have tried SetMasterOutput(13,1) in M5 macro but nothing. Is that the correct command from a macro to trigger a modbus output on ajax board? Thanks

Does anyone know a way to turn all modbus outputs off if the software goes down? I'm using mach 3 and was running fine till mach said it had an error and shut down. The problem I had was my Z axis brake stayed powered and the tooling drifted down onto the workpiece.....rather quickly! Can my ajax co...

Are you using the axis reversal check box in mach? I'm just curious...thats what I had to do.

If you turn the x axis by hand so that the servo motor is being spun clockwise which way do your dro's go?

There were at least four places where you would need to change that input number. Go through the m92 again slowly and double check. It worked for me....took a couple weeks to figure out what the issue was. As soon as I changed my m92 the darn thing worked!

That was my problem also.....changed the jog brains to work with my machine.

What input did you wire your e-stop to? Check your m92 and confirm the modbus input for e-stop is the same you are really connected to.
