VB and the development of wizards / Passing Code to mach

« on: August 20, 2011, 03:43:03 PM »

When posting code in LazyCam somehow the code is passed to Mach if it is running on the computer. Anybody know how it is done? I have a custom application written in VB that creates code. I would like to pass the code to mach if it available. This is not a wizard but a stand alone app in VB.

I have started on the sparkplug boot project. I am going to attempt to make a mold of some sort and cast rubber into the mold. I haven't decided weather to cast the boots onto the wires or make a boot to slip on the wire. I like the thought of reuseable boots but assembly would be alot easier with the wires molded in.

I have never done anything like this, Never seen anybody do it, or have any idea of how to go about it. Other than that it should be easy!

Here are a few pix of the master. From these the mold should be able to be made. I am not sure if I'm going to gate it side to side or front to back so I have not done anything with that yet.

Just a mini update. The throttle lever is done and installed. I used a RC linkage kit for the ball and socket. Now the exhaust pipes are of the highest priority.

Steve the next thing you need to build is an inertia DYNOMOETER to measure the ouput of that beast.

Good Job,

(;-) TP

Yeah!!  That sounds simple.   I have a better idea. You build the dyno and i'll borrow it when I need it!!  Haahahahha!!!!!!

i just wish ...

Give it a try!  Start out with a simple steam engine. If that goes well build a milti cylinder steamer. If that goes well build a 2 stroke gas engine. Work your way up from the basics. That's the way 90% of the engine builders do it. Start small.
