    Default Help with cnc usb software.

    I recently purchased a 4 axis desktop cnc machine. it came with cnc usb software. I am able to run programs, but when the machine reads the line in the program that initiates the H code, the tool comes goes down to Z zero(tool touch off point) then returns to programmed z clearance and then back down to programmed Z depth. After operation is finished, it returns to clearance plane and when reading line 146 m5 spindle returns to zero(tool touch off point), then to G90 H0 Z0( no xy move Z home position). Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have been a cnc programmer/operator for 16 years. And might be getting frustrated here.

    PlanetCNC does not use "G90 H0 Z0". You should use G28 g-code.

    Ok, I removed the code that you said planet cnc does not use. Same issue, any other suggestions?

    Put a Z value in your H line to avoid it dropping. G43 H1 Z.5

    G91 G28 Z0 will return home without it dropping to work offset Z0

    I narrowed the issue down to the tool change for what ever reason when using the tool change m6 for tool change z returns to home as it should but then travels to Z0.0(tool touch off point), then to programmed clearance plane, and then to cut depth. I believe its a setting in the cnc usb controller. But Im not sure what to change.

    I'm glad someone share my problem!

    Check this post https://en.industryarena.com/forum/s...27#post2374227

    I'm pretty sure your problem comes from this line
    N108 G0 G90 X.375 Y-2.9375 S2000 M3

    Ravid move G0 X. Y. also moves Z axis !
    This is absolutely not compliant to g-code standard
    This is a serious bug
    This is shared between users, at least on 3, 4 axis milling machine
    This is OLD

    Instructive screenshots in attachment.

    I loose hours. no. I loose days, because of these problem, and also tools, stock, patience, humour, humor.

    Do I want to buy the new MK board ? No. The first one never prove anything.

    There is also a serious lack of ESD/EMI filtering and protections on theses boards. Decoupling and filtering is at state-of-the-art of chinese low-cost toys. When driving powerfull NEMA drivers and 400Hz kWs inverters, it just not works.

    I had to add capacitors and my own interface board with shielded cables, opto-isolators, ESD/EMI filtering to avoid recurrent USB-disconnection and other CPU fails (with PWM continuously send to drivers, this is the fun).
