Handling G30 in KMotionCNC and Probe signal?

[Gerad]

Hi Tom

I try to get the old milling machine to work.
Is a portal machine with 2 X axis.
Can move with commands via console moverel0=100 for example,
also movement with cursor keys out of MACH3 Schmidtscreen ist ok.
But if I use MIDI interface: G0 X100 only CH0 moved and Ch3 (slave from 0) dont move.
What could be the reason for this?

Hi Gerad,

Make sure any slave is not defined in DefineCoordSystem().

Hi Tom

I have tried to remove the line with „DefineCoordSystem(0,1,2,3)“ in init.c
but problem is still here.
If I changed to DefineCoordSystem(0,1,2) I got a compiler error.
What means this command?
With cursor keys X master and x slave moves fine, same with input from console moverel0=100
But G Code Commando with MDI G0 X100 -> only master X axis moved.
Same if I push a button from the screen, for example „Park Position“ or some similar
Have tried to activate Slave Axis in MACH3 also same.

DefineCoordSystem, is what tells the interpreter what channels to output motion.
It requires channels XYZA to be declared. Any channels you're not using, set to -1.

What I suspect you need to use is DefineCoordSystem(0,1,2,-1), assuming X is on channel 0, Y channel 1, and Z channel 2.

By setting A axis to your slaved channel, that overrides the slaving, so only the master channel moves.
