connect a wireless internet connection to the cncpc and install Teamviewer. PM me the details.

I am about to PM cnckeith the teamviewer info. I did find out a little more, though. I just noticed that everything worked ok until I installed my custom scripts. After a little experimentation I narrowed it down to the custom homing script. If I use the default homing script everything is ok. Once I install the custom homing script I can no longer get into the wizard. The custom homing script is as follows:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

N100 ;Check for open home switch
IF !#[50000 + #9822] THEN M225 #100 "HomeAll switch tripped!!!\nPlease clear before Homing.\n\nPress Cycle Cancel to end Homing"
IF !#[50000 + #9822] THEN GOTO 100

;Disable all limits
M94 /101 /102 ;/103 /104

;Perform Homing commands
M92/Z L1
M26/Z
M92/X L1
M26/X
;M92/B L1
M26/B ; temp
;M91/A L1

; Home Turret
M40 ; Set custom tuning variables for lathe

G98 ; Set feedrate to inches/minute
M65 ; Turn on solenoid to raise paw
G01 A[#5044 - #157] F360 ; Rotate turret #157 degrees to disengage paw. #5044 is current position of A axis.
M105 /A P-5 F720 ; Rotate turret at 720 degrees per minute until sensor detects magnet.
G00 A[#5044 + #158] ; Rotate turret to zero offset.
M26/A ; Set A axis (turret) to zero degrees.
G01 A[#5044 - #157] F360 ; Rotate turret #157 degrees to engage paw. #5044 is current position of A axis.
M85 ; Turn off solenoid to lower paw.
G01 A0 F360 ; Lock paw in position.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The M40 script is in place and it is not causing a failure unless the custom homing script is in place and it doesn't
find the script. The M40 script is mainly to tune the scripts. The turret has a magnet on it and there is a hall
effect sensor involved. Since the position of the magnet and sensor could vary a little if either were to be moved
or the position changed or a new turret installed I decided to add a script to "tune" the location.

For reference, here's the M40 script:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Filename: mfunc40.mac
; Set Tuning Variables
; Description:
; Notes:
; Requires:
; Please see TB300 for tips on writing custom macros.
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF #50010 ;Prevent lookahead from parsing past here
IF #4201 || #4202 THEN GOTO 1000 ;Skip macro if graphing or searching

N100 ;Insert your code between N100 and N1000

#157 = 15 ; Offset to raise/lower turret paw
#158 = 7.3 ; Turret Offset To Home Zero Position
;#158 = 4.6 ; Turret Offset To Home Zero Position

N1000 ;End of Macro

Thanks!

Keith asked you:
"do you have internet connection to the PC with the issue?"
Do you have Teamviewer 14 downloaded and installed?
PM Keith your contact info so he can reach out to you.....

It's installed and Keith has been PM'd. He responded and asked for my phone number....I it to him.

I figured I'd post what I found out as it may help some more to troubleshoot the problem.

Absolutely! This is the place to ask for help and most certainly you have discovered an interesting problem. We would all like to know what comes of it so the next person that runs into this problem can hopefully search the forum and figure out what to try.

Sorry you are having trouble. Look forward to seeing you on your way!
