    Where to find Mach3 turn .set layout file

    Hey,
    I am after the screen layout file for mach3 turn to import into 'machscreen' to customise it. I am able to find the Mach mill files but not turn. Also would anyone be able to help me with creating a button that I could push which calibrates the machine ie goes to both the z axis home switches and x home switches. This will be run at startup to ensure the machine is calibrated. I am using stepper motors therefore they have no encoder so if the machine is bumped whilst its off that could cause problems hence the calibrate button.

    Many thanks,
    Lachie

    Turn files are .lset
    Try 1024.lset

    Thanks for that.
    That has worked perfectly!
    All I need to do now is develop a button with some code attached to calibrate the machine. Could you offer any guidance?

    thanks

    Download the manual for my new screen, and the last two pages have info on creating homing scripts. The CNC Woodworker - Mach3 2010
    When you add the button, set it for VB script, and add the script in Mach3 using Operator > Edit Button Script.
