I'd sure like to be able to combine my Ref All Home with the Auto-Zero tool function for the z axis. Has anyone done this yet?
When the Ref All Home button was pressed, the vb script would do the X, Y home and then execute the auto-zero code. (mach 3 blue) which would touch the bit to the zero plate (mine is built into my table) and then I'd be ready for a job!
The current Ref All Home button contains a script that calls
DoButton (24)
DoButton (23)
DoButton (22)
DoButton (25)
I can't seem to find out what those buttons are.
Thanks, Greg
DoButton (24) = Home Z
DoButton (23) = Home Y
DoButton (22) = Home X
DoButton (25) = Home A
All you'd need to do after this is move into the correct position and run the AutoZero.
Just add the code for those after the above.
