Hi,
This is the screenset Im currently developing for my router. It has some wizards integrated because I preffer to program in Actionscript than VBScript.
The actual screenset is 1280x1024. There are many features im planning to add. Im currently working on the teach/mdi screen
Please fell free to make any suggestions and critics.
Thanks
Pablo

It is really great screen set. But I cannot test your screen set. So I cannot any comment on your work.

Looks like you have really put allot of time and effort into it. It really looks nice! Thanks for sharing.

LOOKS FANTASTIC!!!!!
Can i get a copy of the source ;D
-
As soon as it is properly debugged I will make it available to the Mach community.
I have to make some changes to make it more customizable
What wizards do you think are the most commonly used?
So far I added
Surfacing
Straight Cut
Circular Pocket
Rectangular Pocket
Drilling

elpablito: If you would like, send me a copy of the SWF and i will help beta test it for you. ;D
As for other wizards... how about:
-Nesting
-Write (with a text arc option?)

Thanks for your comments
There are a few thing that would need changes before I can share the SWF
1) The ref button runs a routine to square my routers gantry. I have to change it to an external macro so anyone can replace it for their own
2) My router does not have auto tool changer.
I have all my tool information entered into my cam. I dont want to keep it duplicated and synchronized in mach. So I changed my cams postprocessor to make it send tool information to mach. This way each time a new tool is needed a flash popup appears that shows a picture of the tool with its requested parameters such as material, diam, outside holder length, etc.
3) For the auto tool zero, the plate location is currently hard coded to my machines position
About the nesting and writing wizzards (billman311)
Both would be very nice, specially the nesting one, I use it all the time.
I would need to learn some more about opening and processing dxf files (or maybe I can nest directly NC programs by rotating and offseting them)
I will add it to my wishlist
Thanks for your comments

Cant wait to try it!!!!!
I am also a flash designer, i just got into CNC-ing about 3 weeks ago. I was toying with the idea of making my own screen as soon a i found out you can use Flash. :)
But it looks like you hit the nail on the head with your design! And if you are going to make it public....i think i might just wait!
Thanx!!

I did some research about nesting and found that it requires to implement some algorithms that look pretty difficult, specially for actionscript.
1) Finding the centroid of each nested part
2) Find a No Fit polygon
3) Recursive genetic algorithm for the sorting sequence.
For the time I have now I dont think i can make it. Maybe i would try to write something in C# and invoke it from flash using fscommand.
In the meantime, I added a wizard list feature to the screenset so instead of running only one wizard generated code at a time, they can be added to a list an run all toghether.
They can also be deleted from the list, and when clicked they get you to the line of code where that particular wizard starts
The following image shows one surfacing operation followed by three circular pockets

Hello Pablo,
you have right with point 3, some people dont use a fix point for the mesurement on the table with auto tool zero,
maybe also make an macro button ?
