Using Z zero plate with pendant

[Tlempicke]

I see where the Z Zero macro is now a part of the VCP. How do I program one of the aux keys on my pendant to start the Z Zero routine?

edit the mpgmacro1,2,3,4 button file to be the same, easy peasy, copy paste.

Yup, as Keith said, very easy to do. Copy over the Auto Z0 macro to any of the mpgmarco files located in the cncm\system folder. I use one for the auto Z0, one for my cross hair laser and a third to set XYZ0 for my workpiece.

To make sure it always uses the same file with both the button and pendant (in case of updates or edits), use...

Code: Select all

N100                             ;Insert your code between N100 and N1000  

G65 "C:\cncm\mfunc44.mac"

N1000 ; end 

And don't forget to comment out the M225 line as shown in the MPGmacro#.mac

This is actually the way I do it also Scott and it is less confusing when you decide to tweak the macro for one reason or another, which I find myself doing now and again. It is a better way as you do only edit one file.
