ATC setup

I am finishing installing an ATC which will have a TP & fixed TT using Swissi's app. Right now I'm using the default settings for the feedrate for both. The app has the option for fast then slow, which I think would be a good option to speed things up a bit. I was wondering what would be a safe ...

Spindle break-in macro

Hello,
I would like to add a button on the VCP to run the spindle break in procedure described in the attached pdf. I have read the Macro manual and I'm unsure if a sub routine will work or if each step has to be written separately.

Reset Home Error & Error 453

Hello,
after running the Reset Home routine, the axis pairing is removed in the wizard as shown in the screen shots. The machine was homed/squared before using home reset.

Also I'm getting a 453 error code when jogging using the jog buttons on the VCP. I'm using the KP-3 probe.

Sub Programs M98/M99

I've been reading through the Macro programming manual trying to get a better understanding of how macro's work and came across this example.

The last line has me stumped. What is 9100?
There is no mention of 9100 in the example until the last line.

Does this call O9101 & O9102?

Re: Error Code 916 while auto squaring

Thank you for looking into this!
Does this bug also affect the issue with the MPG?
As far as the issue with the TT-4. I noticed that it was configured as mechanical, not for the MPG-4. I'll fix that and rerun the test. Sorry about that :oops:
