Title: Mach 4 Hobby Demo build 1767 is available
Post by: smurph on May 13, 2014, 02:42:28 AM

Build 1767:

http://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Mach4Hobby%20Installer-1767.exe (http://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Mach4Hobby%20Installer-1767.exe)

The plugin file extensions have been changed from "dll" to "mp4w".
The keyboard plugin has been reworked to only affect the Mach GUI.  If Mach loses focus, the keyboard driven action/input will stop.

All File ops and some Run Ops are disabled ... grayed out.

You sure this is the right 1767 release ?

Dro's don't show movement, only updates the position when Left goes UP.

There is a new 1767 out there now.  It should be better.  There were some "issues" in the original.  

Also, the greyed out screen buttons were testing the "Enabled States" property.  There is still a slight issue with that which I'm working on now.  Just clear the Enabled States property on the controls that are not working correctly and that should clear them up.

On the MachSupport website.  I gave the link above but botched the build number.  I can't edit that post for some reason...  So here it is again.  This is the same link that you will get to if you download Mach 4 from the website by hitting the download button.

HIYA Steve this is JUST a question but could the keyboard plugin be used to do FUNCTIONS other than just jogging things.

Say perhaps Gcode load ???    Cycle start   ,etc

Yes.  It can.  You might have to do a little scripting.  But it is possible.

I thought sense the Keyboard plugin could call an internal function like X+ it should be able to call the internal functions such as Cycle start. 

But it seems it can't without Lua scripting.

Thanks (;-) TP

Steve the keyboard plugin works well here I used it to create the XY joggging  from the arrows keys and the ALT key as the shift key.

Easy peasy , (;-) TP

Not yet.  I have some things in mind for it.  That plugin will get more love soon.
