I leave my pulse width at Zero.... I've never had any problems with TurboCNC returning to XYZ Zero at all
This evening while trying to set up a part. TurboCNC seems to make is own travel distances.
If I go into MDI mode and run simple one line codes it seems to be fine.
If I load a program, the zero all my axis, run a couple of lines, stop program, then send the head back to zero. it goes to the negative side of X right on Y and on the plus side of Z by a .25".
Is there something to do with pulse settings I'm missing. The initial screen from TurboCNC states that I can set up to 24000 plus as a pulse code. I'm set at 2000. There is also a line of text that incates pulse settings above 150 can affect speed.
TIA
Neil

If it works in MDI, I would take closer look into the G-Code itself. May be some command 'relocating' your origin/reference coordinate.
Stupid questions make me smarter...
See how smart I've become at www.9w2bsr.com ;-P
Make sure you are running in DOS and not a dos window. Make sure you have no memory managers running. It sounds like you are loosing steps.
Slow the accel down, and max start and try again.

I wish it wouldn't crash.
Did your G-code place the controller in "Incremental" mode. If so change it to "Absolute" before you move the tool.

Thanks for the quick replies gentleman. TurboCNC was reporting a Bad position record in TurboCNC.ini. I've since deleted this file and created a new one, and so far after some tweeking it is doing what is expected.
Peace

Try posting a new thread with your information in the Title., You will need to know some info about your mill. Was it factory setup with a controller & steppers or was it someone's build? You'll need all the data from the controller & motors to set it up.Originally Posted by atsfrwy
Got it worked out, my *.ini file was not being read from the correct directory.
