Hi,

I loaded the 2017 Screenset last week and copied all of the macros across etc. working well, tool setting etc all good and I think the VFD speed control was working as expected (in the 2017 screenset)....until 2 days ago...

I loaded UCCNC 2017 SS as normal, ran a test file and noticed that I couldn't change the Spindle speed from the last setting of 5000RPM. I can turn the spindle off and on ok with the M3 button and with an M3 command, but not set speed.

After checking all of the settings without a fix, I closed and reloaded my original config that I used as a base for the 2017 screenset and it the speed control of the spindle worked perfectly. So I checked all settings to make sure the 2017 SS matched and it does...

So I re-downloaded the HY Pluggin from Dan911 again and set up again on both screensets, original and 2017 and same result. it works in my original, but not the 2017 version.

I am really scratching my head on this one...

You need to edit the screen and change the RPM field to 2451 (I think it's 870).

Spoke too soon, Now with ATC, it is not stopping the spindle for a tool change. I have to initiate a feed hold to stop the spindle to change the tool...
Any Ideas on how it to make sure its sending an M5 on an M6 command?

Your g-code should have an M5 to stop it.

But you can add this to the M6 macro:

exec.Stopspin();

Just put it at the top right after:

// 2017 Toolchange macro
