General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3: Programmatic change to config

« on: March 19, 2021, 01:33:25 PM »

you can try to Play with:

Code: [Select]


  SetProbeActive(bool) // turns the probe ON or off, 1 for on, 0 for off
  SetProbeState(bool) // sets the low-active on or off, 1 for on, 0 for off


never tested thse functions.

parallel port will only run with Win7 32Bit or older.
all newer require a external Motion Controller, not just simple usb to parallel Adapter.

think a easy way would be to write machine coord's int a file (directly after probing code) like:

Code: [Select]


Open "C:\Mach3\probecoords.txt" For Append As #1 ' Open to write file.

'write machine coord's
Write #1,"X: " & GetOEMDro(83) & " Y: " & GetOEMDro(84) & " Z: " & GetOEMDro(85)

Close #1

IMHO you should find the reason first, before putting weird numbers into backslash compendation.
it is not only on circles, your first Picture Shows, that the rectangle is also not closed at the lower
right Corner. it Looks like the same amount like at the circle.
