Hi is it possible to access a variable assigned in one macro from a different macro?

M811.m1s
Dim MyNewVariable
Thanks, glad I hadn't done anything too wrong. Put the second valve in and the FB works as advertised!

Hi, Finally got around to completing the project today. All went well until I opened up the coolant valve. No coolant! There was plenty of odd sounds and bubbling but no coolant. The problem was...
Thanks for the responses. I figured it would be an exercise in creativity. It's amazing, in this world of .0001 accuracy that there is still a place for carpet tape.
One thing about this hobby is...
Hi, I am fairly new at this hobby and after getting all the toys setup and some g-code put together I started to make chips.
One issue I am having is with clamping the work piece, for example I...
Thanks for the followup Gerry, may do some investigating when I get a spare moment

Hi Gerry, that makes sense, but why would displaying Machine Coords cause this, or does pushing the machine coords button do more than just change the display?
I guess I could also use...
I have been using probing for a while now and it has been working fine. The last couple of days the probing is having a problem. The code I am using has been borrowed from various sources and...
Seems my reply never made it!
Thanks AGAIN Gerry for a quick response. All is working the way I want it to now.

As a follow on from my previous thread Is it possible to have Mach3 run some VB code at start up, if so how can this be done. My plan is to use VB code to put the Jog Mode into Cont at start up using...
I removed the ShuttlePro.dll, which came with the XHC HB04 Controller, from the plugin folder and all is now good. Guess any trouble shooting now is beyond my skill level.
Thanks for the help

Thanks Gerry. I had discovered the .xml file and have done some investigation.
On shutdown the .xml file correctly records the state of:
JogPersist
JogStep
JogMode
On startup Mach3...
Thanks for the (very) quick answer Gerry!
At least my understanding of what SHOULD happen is correct, it just doesn't happen. It seems as though Mach3 is either ignoring or not seeing the...
Hi, recently when Mach3 starts it is always with jog mode in STEP. I would much prefer it if it started in CONT. From what I have read ensuring that Config / General Config / Persistent Jog Mode is...
Perfect timing Jim! Was just about to go and spend $30 at the local hardware store. The Amazon one looked great UNTIL I found out they won't ship to Canada. Found the same filter at AMI for the same...
Thanks, that makes life a lot simpler!

Hi, I am thinking about building the mister, but I have a "blank spot" in the old grey matter about the nozzle assembly. In the picture from Chris in the previous post, coming out of the mixer block...
Blinkenlight, many thanks for taking the time to respond. I was getting hung up over the point vs tip width issue.
Still in the preparatory stages at the moment, we are in an RV in GA and the...
Hi, my trigonometry skills, if I ever had any, left me many decades ago.
Is there a formula (or tables) that will give the width of a cut path at different depths of cut using a 60 degree...
Thanks to all for the replies, the more I look, the more I learn (and the more I learn the more I have to look up)
Anyway, just about got it all sorted out in my mind now, hopefully I should be...
Hi, first time poster and soon to be CNC milling machine owner, so please be gentle. I have been looking at various CNC milling machines / routers for a few weeks now, and have finally settled on the...
