I want to have Mach4 check an output from a clearpath motor every time the axis associated with that motor is moving. I thought using mc.mcaxisisstill would be the way to do that, but it seems to be returning a positive result whether the axis is moving or not. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong??
Here's a test code that I was using:
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
local still
local rc
local gcode = ""
gcode = gcode .. ("g0 x-2\n")
gcode = gcode .. ("g0 x0\n")
mc.mcCntlGcodeExecute(inst, gcode)
wx.wxMilliSleep(400)
still, rc = mc.mcAxisIsStill(inst, 0)
wx.wxMessageBox(tostring(still))
if rc ~= mc.MERROR_NOERROR then
wx.wxMessageBox("error")
end
