How to Install:

1) Copy All files (except the macros folder) to c:\Mach3

2) Copy the contents of macro folder to your configurations macro folder
   c:\Mach3\macros\YourConfigName\

About External Macros:
----------------------

Some of the screen buttons and also the bottom bar execute external macros.
The macros are loaded during screen initialization. check the RUCONFIG.INI to see the macros used.

WARNING!!!: Do no press buttons in the online state until you have modified the macros to 
            be compatible with your system.
            Take care with the buttons RefAll, Park, Auto Zero, Touch Edges, Initial tool offset
            They call the corresponding macros wich work with my machine but may not work with yours,
            and they do some moves in machine coordinates that may lead to crashes.
            The RefAll macro has code for squaring my gantry. REPLACE IT!


Also some macros must exist in the macro dir that are invoked by gcode:
M1030: This macro in invoked when a M30 (program end) is found to reset the bottom bar state
M810: See below about tool change
 
About Tool Change:
------------------

I do manual tool change, so I customized my post processor to output code like this when a tool change is needed

(TDESC;ID:14;DESC:1/4" End Mill Straight;TYPE:END_MILL;TOTLEN:80mm;OHL:50mm;SL:30mm;CL:20mm;SD:15mm;TD:6.35mm;CR:0mm;AN:0mm;FLUTES:2;MSG:In drawer 3)M810
M6 T14
S2000 M3

The first line has a lot of tool parameters that come directly from the CAM program and when M810 is executes (check the end of the line)
The line is parsed and the change tool windows appear, showing the corresponding tool figure with all the parameters.
If you can configure your postprocessor to output such a line, you will see the tool change windows with the images and parameters
If you dont include the description lime, you will see a default almost empty tool change window.
If you use auto tool changer, cusomize M6Start and M6End.

Have Fun!
