    Default Installed a probe z-touchplate; now machine is going crazy on tool change (mach blue)

    So I installed a touchplate which recommends using the mach blue screen.


    Pretty simple inputs, touch the wire to the plate; green light on the probe setting comes on like it should. The problem is when i hit the auto-z button; the router will go down a little slowly, then just drives itself into the material very quickly. The light is on so the circuit completes, but doesnt ever stop itself.

    That's problem 1. Problem 2 is running my previous G-codes, which I believe is on a tool change command wants to drive the router way out off of its limits in the x/y direction. I have the tool change location set to 10/10/3.... so i'm not sure what is causing this.

    None of this happened before the mach blue install, uninstalling it doesnt help the situation.

    Problem #1 is an issue with the auto zero macro.

    Problem #2 is probably an issue with the M6 macros.

    It may be that you are missing some settings in the screenset that the macros use??

    Hi czwalga,
    I have tried many screens and the best by far in MY opinion is
    Mach3 2010 Screenset
    Once set up it works as it should every time.
    No affiliation blah blah blah
    Cheers
