I have had great success with my Acorn for over 2 years on my converted 626 with no big problems but I am trying to combine my 3 axis homes into Homeall to get a couple of inputs for cycle start and end.
I have a plastic box to accept the 3 home inputs and then one lead out to input 1 I am using 4 ...

Thanks Swissi I'll just go back to leaving it alone it was just a whim. As I have only a 2 wire probe i wouldn't know how to get a third wire out to the probe detect.
Kind regards
Bob

If I may post a further question here when I set parameter 18 to input 6 my probe it does magically inhibit the spindle after I load the Probe in the MDI but I can't seem to load the next tool in the MDI to move on. Even though I enter M6T2 and press cycle start it seems to show it is loaded but ...

Thanks a lot Swissi apart from this anomaly everything seems to be working just fine. I can carry on until it is sorted as long I am not going mad.
At least now I can set up the probe length with the touch off tool which I couldn't do before so we are moving forward.
Many thanks
Bob.

Thanks Swissi perhaps I confused both myself and you. I have checked and can confirm that the probe is on input 6 probe tripped mechanical open*
Tool touch off input 7 conductive closed* touch off tripped/triggered.
This is as the report enclosed. The probing is working fine at present apart from ...

Just a small diversion instead of starting a new thread my problem is after installing 4:18 and getting back to working I have a TT device working on input 7 as before I tried my wildhorse probe on input 6 as before using probe detect and open when tripped this seems to be working fine except for ...

It may be worth checking that you do not have the Preload tool option set to yes in the Fusion post processor as I have had similar problems with this.
It seems to be indicating the next tool after.
Regards Bob.

Hi just a follow up to this hiccup I realised that this was a weird problem but it happened after upgraded to 4/12 and I noticed that on measuring a tool it seemed to travel on slightly. So after reloading 4/12 with no change I decided to try to slow down the probe feed and this solved the problem ...

Thanks for the reply Marty sorry about the forum.
But to give my problem some context I am having good success with the operation of the machine with various programs I have some sort of bug that even though i have my probe set on -50006 Par 11 and tool setter 50007 Par 44 and this works well but ...

As above I am sure I have not actively changed much. But I am getting tripping of the Z Quill on the tool measuring button and also the tool measuring when the tool retracts needing me to clear the trip before I can move on while not every single time it is pretty much.
I have not had this before ...
