Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Signal Scripts

« on: May 10, 2014, 05:38:00 PM »

I did an update to the Sig Lib it now is tested to be working and I made it simulate a tool release button .

SigLib = {
    [mc.ISIG_INPUT1] = function (state)
       
    end,
    --Tool Release Button
    [mc.ISIG_INPUT2] = function (state)--mc.ISIG_INPUT1
        local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();
        local hsig = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.OSIG_OUTPUT1);
       
        if( state==1 ) then
            --Check to see if the spindle is stopped here
            --Turn On Tool Release (Unclam Tool)
            mc.mcSignalSetState(hsig, 1 );
           
       else
           --Turn Off Tool Release (Clamp Tool)
            mc.mcSignalSetState(hsig, 0 );
        end
    end
}


You also need to have a signals script with this code

if(SigLib[sig] ~= nil)then
SigLib[sig](state);
end


Thanks

What I am saying is that we want to be 100% confident that you are going to be happy when we get a release out with motion.... As soon as we are confident we will allow license to get purchased.  Now for Hobby you can have more then one machine so I don't see the locking to a PC as an issue..

Thanks

At this time I think we are going to be able to put out Mach4 for pre-release sale, we neet to be 100% sure of the controllers.

You can have all the hot keys you would like.. BUT you have to map them as inputs.. We are not making the KB part of the GUI, that was a Mach3 thing. We want an input device like pokeys and or PLC to be able to do input as well as the KB.

But this woman can do things that the old one couldn't do.. I think Chris Rock did a skit on that...

Anyhow I don't think we are going to make a WX Lua programming manual, it will be more programming by examples and if someone is smart they can go look at WX and Lua and get it to do more. Way to much to document!
