Hi Andrew,

It seems you can run a macro if M05 works, so it must be something else like motion or GCode.

When you say "Jog" exactly what do you mean? Arrow Keys on the PC Keyboard?

What is in your M511?

What Version of Mach3 are you running?

Hi Tom

Sorry for not answering sooner, I had to go away for a couple of days.

I am using Mach3 Version 3.043.066 – I believe it is the latest lockdown version.

I am jogging by using the jog buttons on the jog flyout (tab) in mach3.

M511 is my tool measure macro, but I have tested it by put just a very simple msg in the macro and nothing else, and it still happens.

The other odd thing I found is that if you type a command in the mdi box, after a jog I can’t just push enter to run the mdi code, I actually have to push the cycle start button as well – then it will run the mdi code.

When I did the key machines a few year ago I was using v .019 and these things worked ok, so I am guessing it has something to do with the version of mach3 I am using. What version are you using?

Regards

Andrew

Hi All
I have been running my machine for a couple of days now, but have one weird little problem that still needs sorting.
I am using Mach3. If I jog any axis, and after it stops jogging, I press a button to run a macro(ie to measure tool length), the macro will not run. But if I go to mdi mode and type any code ie M05, or G04 P1 or any other non movement code, and then press my button to run the macro it will work fine. It seems as if the machine is still in "jog" mode and won't run a macro.
I have my button set to "run Gcode" with the code being M511.
Has anyone else found this?? if so is there a fix??

Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I'm also using Mach3 Version 3.043.066.

I made M511 macro with Message ("M511")

Then Tab to display Jog Flyout

Jog mode is "Cont"

Jog X+

Jog Y+

the M511 in the MDI

the message shows M511

I don't see any problem.

Regards
