Thanks for your replies! I am a div. Yes Marty. G54! I was thinking last night "maybe this is the part DRO rather than machine but convinced myself otherwise....despite it seems the lefthand corner reading to the contrary. honestly I worry sometimes :lol: Its fine then, perfect even , switch to...

and it lives. call t0100 and tool 1... etc hurrah :D very pleased thanks for all you help Chaz. very much appreciated. I do have one problem..well im not sure if its a problem really. the DRO doesnt read as I expected. it reads -3 after homing, and then every tool after is -3 , t8= 5 ...im sure I ne...

@Chaz Sorry one last question I promise. the original first 3 lines in the cnctch.mac file. do I leave them in and then start your code below or copy take them out and replace with the code? Im sure it should be obvious but thought i would check. IF #9006 != 0 THEN GOTO 200 M225 #100 "Please Ch...

Got it! Nice one. Since my post this morning Ive had some time to feel more at home with the Acorn system, funny you should say that about Mach though when i was putting in my axis config for the X and Y I put in Steps per mm and took me longer than it shouldve to work out it was steps/ rev :oops: ...

Hey Chaz and Graham, finally ive made it to this stage! its been a long journey lol :) I think im using a similar atc to you guys, boxford 125 - no sensors just an axis and pawl to back up onto. Is this macro complete? I dont understand most of the parameters yet. Ive yet to learn where to put this...

Okay, I didn't understand the question. Let me try again. The top image shows that the internal electronics consist of eight opto-couplers. Each opto-coupler has a current limiting resistor in series with its associated diode. The cathode end of the diode is connected to the external connection poi...

More information would be helpful, make and model of the spindle drive and motor. Link to a manual of the drive and pictures.

Marty my apologies, I have just read this after posting .

Thanks for your reply, I actually meant the 2 relays on the board, I realise the outputs are assigned to the radio buttons.
