    DRO reset to zero if the Estop or limit switch are hit

    When kflop initialize after every reset. It resets the DRO in mach3

    Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

    Hi mac7988,

    Your Initialization C Program gives you much control over how things are handled. You can set the Destinations to zero, or the last commanded destination, or the current encoder position (assuming you have encoders).

    To set the to the last commanded Destination instead of zero change:

    EnableAxisDest(xx,0.0);

    to

    EnableAxisDest(xx,chxx->Dest);

    (replace xx with the axis channel).

    Note that after an EStop or other incident the last commanded Destination may be invalid.

    HTH
