Mach4 General Discussion / input to stop machine

« on: March 26, 2024, 08:18:07 AM »

We have a new machine and I am going to be putting a pressure sensor on so if the air pressure gets too low the machine will stop.
What would be the best place to put the code?
PLC Script?
Signal Script?
Any other place?
Open to any ideas.

Thanks,
Bill

Mach4 General Discussion / mini pc

« on: December 07, 2023, 04:59:58 PM »

I am looking to get away from the laptops we currently use.
I purchased one of these from Amazon.

KAMRUI AK2 Plus Mini PC, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake- N100(up to 3.4GHz) Micro Computer, 16GB DDR4 RAM 500GB SSD Mini Desktop Computer Support 4K HD/WiFi 5/BT4.2/Gigabit Ethernet for Home/Office

Windows 11 and it works fairly fast.
I have not hooked it up to a machine yet.
Has anyone used one of these?
If so how long have you used it before needing to replace?

Thanks,
Bill

Mach4 General Discussion / enable

« on: February 22, 2023, 09:55:07 AM »

I feel like a fool for not being able to find this.
I need to make sure some actions do not happen if the is not active.
It has to do when the program loads and just want to make sure some inputs do not get activated.
I have some messages that go with the inputs and for some reason on the new pc's it pulls them all up.
I just want to look at the enable and see if it is active or inactive.

Mach4 General Discussion / Different use for Mach4

« on: December 22, 2022, 12:41:05 PM »

We make some bending machines as well as cnc routers for the sign industry.
We use Mach4 to run all the machines.
If you scroll down on the page the link takes you to you will see a video for one of the machines.
Definitely different and I thought some might like to see a different use for Mach4.

Mach4 General Discussion / Run From Here

« on: November 11, 2022, 01:39:55 PM »

I am wanting to make this a little easier for my customers.
The old M3 was a little easier and i want to make this even easier than that, only 1 click of the mouse.
Is there any way to do "Run From Here" in a script?
Is it mc.mcRunFromHere(inst)?
or RunFromHere()?
or?

Thanks,
Bill

Can one of the moderators help with my password for my profile?
I can not remember the password and of coarse did not put any hints in.
