I love your way of explaining and I like to see you making video about how we can setting up a fixed z probe in mach3 which it go automatically measure z axis on a fixed z probe thank you very much ❤
Charlie, I use your Auto-Z ALL the time. A really nice feature is during an op that requires a toolchange, while the program is paused, I can change out a tool in a collet, Run the Auto-Z to set the tool length, use the arrow keys to move around and/or issue commands, and when I hit cycle start, the tool returns to the next step in the program from wherever, just like it was never interrupted (not having an ATC). You have saved me HOURS of time with your help. I look forward to editing my screens, because this vid is a wealth of info, and I have downloaded it for a reference. Personally, I think Mach3 is great and cannot imagine Acorn or LinuxCNC being better in any way. And this vid just makes it better! Thank you.
I suggest a project Explaining the Tool Change Macro with only 2 or 3 tools listed. From Starting to End. I have not still been able to understand that core concept yet. If you are interested in future, may be..! Below concepts are still unclear at least to me..! 1 Saving the Point at which the Spindle Stopped, when a tool change command is found in Gcode, to return after changing the tool..! 2 Combination Of "T" Number and "M6" and "M5" Codes , How it is executed..! 3 Setting Tool Change Locations 4 Docking the Old Tool (Its Location and Movement during and after that) 5 Getting the New Tool (Its Location and Movement during and after that) 6 Drawbar Operation Concept 7 Length Compensation..etc I think it is a vast subject for a series of Videos..! Not easy I know..! I hope more people are interested in such information from knowledgeable people like You.! Spoiler alert..! By the way I don't think that I am going to fully understand it even if you invest some valuable time for that..!
Hi Charlie, how can I contact with you directly ? iI will need some help with few custom scripts for Mach3 and maybe you will be able to write and help ?
I am Thinking that Using the old parallel port is much better than using USB..! I don't know how right I am..! Such a thought in mind that parallel port is much more immune to external High Frequency Noise from VFDs/Spindles/Motors..etc I have seen videos where people say Ethernet controllers are not easily available here in my region.! or skyhigh expensive..!

Excellent! Glad you are getting good use of the Z script. I agree, Mach3 is great and the customization is awesome.
Hi
as usual, your videos are very interesting
can't wait for the next one

Me complace mucho ver sus videos y su risa contagiosa.
Estoy buscando la manera de hacerlo para un torno🙏🏼💪🏼👍🏼👏🏼
Thank you. Yes, you can edit the lathe screenset. The original lathe screenset name is 1024.lset

Some of that information I should be able to do a video on. I'll add this to my video list. Thanks for the idea.

I have heard that with USB, but I have no experience with it. My experience is with parallel port for my CNC.
