New User Friendly Practical Lathe Screen (with space shuttle acc.)

[BOB88]

To Poppabear,

How do you turn on the Soft Limits in Practical Lathe vs 2.0?   

Also, What is the space shuttle accessory and what does it do?  Replace the MPG?

Your Lathe screen is indeed User Friendly and Practical.  Thank you.

>>>>>>  I did not put a Soft Limits button on the screen since I am aways changing the setup for different work. 
If you want one, just add a button called Soft Limits, a good place would be under the Diangostics button on the main page.
Open screen designer, for regular Mach3 Mill, and see what the OEM code is for toggling Softlimts (add the LED that goes with it).
to your Practicle lathe screen.

Also, What is the space shuttle accessory and what does it do?  Replace the MPG?

>>>>>>>>>>> No space shuttle accessory, I was just being sarcastic since I put so much crap on the thing.

BUT!!!!!!!  If you hit the "Tab" Key, it WILL bring out a MPG shuttle window...

Your Lathe screen is indeed User Friendly and Practical.  Thank you.

To Poppabear.

In Practical lathe 2.0 when Homing All it homes the Z-Axis first and then the X-axis.  How do you get it to home the X-Axis first to get the tool away from the workpiece?

When I load the Mach 1024.lset, it homes the X-Axis first.  It's the same Ports and pins setup.   Thank you.

choose Edit button script, and click the Home all button, revers the order of the code you see there.

Hi Poppabear,

Have you done any updates to Practical_Lathe2.0 modA.lset  since this last post?

Question:  In Mach3 Turn, hitting the HOME ALL button after the axes have been homed using SET HOME X, SET HOME Z, etc., causes the axes to home at extremely fast feedrate.  Have you noticed that?  I'm wondering if I can put your HOME ALL Button script in MACH3 TURN'S Home All button.  Will that fix the excessive axis feed problem?

Also, how is a button removed from 1024.lset if I want to get it off the screen altogether?

Thank you very much for all your support to the forum.
