    Auto tool zero Help

    Hello,
    I just buy chinise VEVOR 3 Axis 3040 CNC. the manufacturer has given the following code for auto tool zero, but it doesn't work:

    'Rem Probe Down by PEU (Based on Erniebro Work)
    FeedCurrent = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current settings
    ZCurrent = GetDro(2)
    Code "G4 P1" 'Pause 1 second to give time to position probe plate
    Code "F1" 'slow feed rate to 10 MM/MIN
    GageH = GetOEMDRO (1002)
    Rem Probe Down by PEU (Based On Erniebro Work)
    FeedCurrent = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current settings
    ZCurrent = GetOemDro(802)
    Code "G4 P1" 'Pause 1 second to give time to position probe plate
    Code "F1" 'slow feed rate to 10 MM/MIN
    GageH = GetUserDRO(1152)
    ZNew = ZCurrent - 30 'probe down 30mm
    Code "G31 Z" &ZNew
    While IsMoving()
    Wend
    Call SetDro (2,GageH)
    FinalMove = GageH * 1
    Code "G0 Z" &FinalMove
    Code "G0 Z" &30
    Code "F" &FeedCurrent 'restore starting


    Can somebody help me? I'm new to mach3.

    Re: Auto tool zero Help

    If you can provide a bit more details (like what the CNC is actually doing when you run that code, which parts are or are not working) it would provide a bit more information for someone to help you.

    Keep in mind that Mach3 is very popular and has LOTS of tutorials online by different sources (in different languages even, if that helps). So just search Google or Youtube. Start with "programming mach3 z probe" or "mach3 auto tool zero programming"
