Mach4 General Discussion / Re: New Forum!

thosj,
I have those; but I was thinking Bryanna had a txt document that had a pretty comprehensive list on here somewhere.
I remember seeing it before the searching crapped out.

Bryanna had made a large list of all the #VARS in Mach4.  I can't find that list anywhere, especially since the search function is currently down. 
That is something that could be added to the DOCS folder in Mach4, and/or added to the Mach4 Tool Box.

You can just enable motor 3 in the mach config, or edit the button script.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Test probing in simulation?

« on: November 25, 2018, 11:00:37 PM »

Okay,
So I just found out that I can test probing.  I forgot to put a feedrate in my probe move.  
However, it didn't register my simulated probe strike, it simply read the end of my probe move.  
Not exactly what I wanted, but it does allow me to test my code.

Mach4 General Discussion / Test probing in simulation?

« on: November 25, 2018, 10:52:01 PM »

I'm going to assume that we can't test probing functions using the simulator since probing is handled by the motion controllers.
But I'll ask anyway.  Can we test probing in the SIM?
I've mapped all 4 probe inputs to CNTL + P on my keyboard to test a tool setter probing cycle, that works just fine,
However, when I run the cycle, it doesn't run the G31.  Again, I assume this is because I'm running the simulator.

Gotta give this a try.  Somehow one of our operators locked a lathe we have in the shop.  I have no idea if they did this on purpose or not, so I'm going to have to unlock it now.  Glad this thread was started.

Yes.   There is a thread on this forum with that information already.   But the searching isn't working right now.   I'll see if I can get some script I have on a machine on the is thread.

If all you want is for the reset button to shut the coolant off, then you're finished.  Just save that and test it. 
Turn your coolant on and press the reset button; it will turn the coolant off.

I had the Output handle wrong in the code I gave you.  I didn't think it was right, like I mentioned, needed to check that the signal call was all correct.
Put this code below the Set Last Error.

--Turn coolant off on Reset
local Coolant = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.OSIG_COOLANTON)
mc.mcSignalSetState(Coolant, 0)

What are your errors?
