General Mach Discussion / Mach3 R3.042.033 overfeed bug

« on: December 29, 2009, 04:13:42 PM »

I upgraded from version 0.20 to 0.033 and find that 0.033 is overfeeding by around +25% on Jog and G0 and G1 moves.

I too have found that velocity behavior is overfeeding with version 0.032.

Please fix this.

I did code MsgBox into my scripts and its a nicer control than just print. But print is quick and dirty when you just need to display an OK box.

I tried to apply for the Yahoo forum and never got an email. Not to mention I don't understand why people don't use the mach site forum for mach related issues. Why a third party newsgroup, SMF is wayyy nicer than a hard to read unorganized news group.

1. Print function no longer works. This used to work now it fails. It happened in one of the updates I'm running the lockdown now.

Sub Main()
Dim X as Int
X = 1
Print X
End Sub

2. GetVar(2002) returns the wrong value. Its -100 off of the correct value.

There is no such function.   http://www.cypressinc.com/enduser.pdf

There should be a key press event built into mach because you can assign hotkeys.
I need to know how to assign these keys via a script so I can assign Esc = Exit Sub

I believe what Esc is currently canceling the While/Wend loop and jumping to the next While/Wend in my script.

VB and the development of wizards / Esc key event

« on: January 14, 2009, 05:24:15 PM »

I have a homing and probing script that I wrote that is called from an external .m1s from a button in my screen set. The script runs fine but if the user hits the esc key during runtime the script doesn't exit. It stops current function and moves to the next function so you have to hit the esc key 3 times before it exits the script. How can I exit the script completely on the esc key event.

If your goal is to make a dedicated mach controller you might want to look at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/products/westandard/default.mspx
This is an embedded version of windows designed for OEMs.

Lol. I understand why i needed to read it. It was involved. Well I got it working and here is my code.

Msg = "Will now probe tool to calculate Z to Probe distance."
Style = 4 + 64 + 0
Title = "Fixture Setup"
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
   If Response = 6 Then
      code "M101"
   Else
      Exit Sub
   End If

I couldn't find the cypress enable language reference on the wiki. I ended up googling it and found it on another website. Can someone provide a link b/c even the wiki's page search function turned up zero results.

mach3.042.020 throws a  compile error when I try to use button parameters with MsgBox()

ie. MsgBox("test", 2 ,"test")

Does mach have all VB parameters?
