Title: Screen help
Post by: scrambled on January 17, 2011, 01:08:52 PM

Hi all-

I have had some computer problem during the last week or two.  I had a computer die, and I thought I had everything backed up.  But Murphy struck!

Anyway I finally have my flame cutter up and running, and I can use it to make parts.  So the important stuff is finished.

Now for the hard part.  I added three objects to my screen to help with the cutting.  One is a display of Varible #500 and the other two just add or subtract 1 to the value of varible #500.  This is so I can adjust the preheat time while the machine is cutting for multiple parts.

The problem is that the screen is correct, but it does not display the Varible #500, and I can not figure out how I did it :(

can someone point me in the correct direction?

Possibly a macropump or Brain?

Hood-

I bet you are right.   I remember putting in a macropump for something.    I will check when I get home tonight.

Thanks for jogging my memory!

Hood-


You were correct.    I added the macropump, and I am back in business!

Thanks
