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.

You need to do the change withing Mach4

Go to Operator then Edit Screen
Click on the top thing under Screen Tree Manager
Under Properties click the center icon (Events)

When I am doing things with the Mach I make a copy of the folder before I change anything.
Then when I mess up I just delete the Mach4 folder and rename the copy.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Different use for Mach4

Craig,

It did take some interesting code to get it working.
Nothing hard just different.
I had a good time.
We use the PMDX-126 and an ESS.
Andy at Warp 9 did some special code on his plugin to help me out.

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.

TimmyJ,

The programming is not as bad as it first appears.
I am not a programmer either and it took me a while to understand.
I made this to help other non programmers.
it should give you a good starting point.
