Homing Sequence(ZYXAC)

[Megamoog]

Hi,
I am setting up my 5 axis mill with the MSM screenset. I would like to have the Z first then Y, X, A, & C.
Running latest MSM 6-axis screen
Mach3 .066
XP sp3

I did look at the vb code but did not see as to how I can change it. I can press ref all button & the z then y then x then a but no c movement. I have all those axis enabled and set on homing n limits pages.
I can do all axis (ZYXAC) individually no problem also. I know the homing is set up n functional but just not when REF ALL BUTTON is used?

Thanks

Hi,
Find the All-RefAllHome.m1s script and look for these lines:

Const UseMach1024RefCode = true and change it to Const UseMach1024RefCode = false

When true, this constant tells the script to use the original 1024 screen set home logic (which does not handle all axes).

If you then need to debug things further, look for
Const debug = false and change it to Const debug = true

That constant will cause the script to put out a debug message at each step of the homing sequence. It's a handle built in way to trace what order the actions are being done.

That did the trick!!!
ThanX a bunch...

I'm really starting to enjoy the MSM screen, the work flow is simple but direct...
Now to get my touch plate & probe set up... gots some reading to do but should be pretty much Mach3 standard settings n such.

ThanX for the quick reply Dave...!!!
