Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Lua Scripting with CycleStop()

Another thing to try is under Configure-> Control General tab. Select Cycle Stop Is controlled Stop? checkbox...

Feed hold is the most correct way but it's your machine

Did you contact the support guys? They may be able to assist you. Seems like a simple setting. Are you in Maine ?

Do you know what output you have the relay setup on?

I will try to remember to look at this tomorrow morning. I don’t know if the LED will show on the screen or not. You may want to check the output and see if it is on. I say this because the G63/G63 commands are done nothing like the normal outputs. The special M commands put output data in the movement buffer being sent to the motion controller. The normal outputs use the messaging system. So long story short is the plugin may not be telling us that they activated the output....  I can see this as a very easy thing to miss ! 

Please check it with a meter on the output.

Thanks Brian

Yeah, this elf was working on XBox controllers we will get it done. My goal is to get it out this week. I don’t think the guys have much other stuff going on. I have a machine I have to help on this week .

I don't know how this is going to end but I can tell you that Steve, Tom and I are looking at how to redesign this better. I expect to have a sample mid January. I will post here on the forum for testing when we have something working.

After sitting here and thinking about this and I would like to make a wizard style probe interface that will prompt you for every step with graphics. Would that work for you guys? My goal is to have it so simple my kid could use it!

If you want to run it from the Gcode file that will not work out but I don’t think anyone is doing that. We can do Lua or C++... I am sort of thinking C++ because I don’t want people modifying. Only thinking please give your input

I am sick of hearing about the probing issues so I think it is time for an update. I don’t know if I can make it work for everyone but I am going to try!

I will have it all done with G31’s and if it hits when it shouldn’t it will fail out.

Yeah, I need to look at it from the Lua perspective. I work in C most of the time so trying to do the Lua thing is difficult !

You bring up a great point , we could save the position data into the string in the register! The register is really a WXString (when it holds text) it is and can hold a book worth of text. I need to start making a list !
