Preset Voltage not loading into Mach3

Post by Eric - Plasma »

I've been having trouble with my Mach3. It does not like to load in the preset voltage setting.
It seems to be locked on the CandCNC hub setting. I'm still quite new at this but I thought the S379 code should override the hub and set Mach to 79V.

Another odd anomaly I am having is sometimes the S10 does not turn off the DTHC at the start? As you can see in the screenshot taken after I ran the first section of the program posted below. Maybe the problems are related?

Hub setting. Note I did change the voltage to 150V from the previous 153V before this screenshot.
