I would like to say thank you for all your macros that you've generously given to everyone.

I personally know pretty much nothing when it comes to macros but I will definitely play with them and see how they work and how they are used and hopefully learn from them as well.

Thank you sir - 8)

Post by: Greolt on March 28, 2009, 06:50:49 PM: I'll add my thanks to Terry for posting up his examples.

Absolute novice I am, but anything I have learned about this VB stuff is from reading others code.

I pull it apart and try to figure out why each line is there and how it works.

Now Terry has introduced me to VARS. :)

One question, why the M30 at the end of some of the examples Terry?

Post by: vmax549 on March 28, 2009, 09:57:52 PM: Greg it is a carryover from using subroutines for so long. The purpose was to reset all the MODES in the gcode that may have been set and no longer needed.

Guys it is not really Var programing but More Parameteric Gcoding.

OK so I got the terminology wrong. I am only a carpenter. ;D ;D ;D ;D

All a foreign language to me.

Post by: Chaoticone on March 28, 2009, 10:39:57 PM: I honestly don't know who added the board, I can't take credit for it but I'm sure glad they did. :) I have been working like a mad man trying to come up with a significant numbering system for Dros, Leds, and buttons. Also trying to make the description terms hold to a standard. I hope I'll have something to show ya late tomorrow. Hopefuly in the end the numbers for them will be like a vin number on a car. If you know the system, the numbers will come easy.

Terry, sent you an email. Just sent the same in a PM as well.

Post by: vmax549 on March 28, 2009, 11:09:01 PM: I am trying to give examples of different ways to do things as we go(;-) There are MANY ways to do this stuff. SO if I do something one way don't get the idea it cannot be done another way. I am using what my SON calls Hybrid code.

It is a mix of Gcode, VB , Fanuc MacroB, Subs and the Oword redirection

HOPEFULLY one day Brian can fix up conditional Gcode( Fanuc MacroB Style would be nice) for MACH. I know it was in the original Source code that EMC came from(;-) But a lot of it was turned off in the Mach version.

Untill then we will have to use the hybrid code

Brian calls it "!@#$%^&*" CODE (;-) TP
