Mach Screens / Re: Screen design requirements with latest development versions

« on: April 27, 2006, 02:49:38 PM »

Hi Guys:

  Download 1.90.031 again. I just upgraded it with a fix. Turns out some 5 controls had very weird numbers in therir sizes..liek -512 to +512 as Y size.. This kille dit, and you never say they were on the screen. Ive applied a "weird number filter" , it will kill controls that are bad. It now loads the "Blue Screens"

Thanks, hope it helps,

Hi:

   Im still analysing, but just a design note for you, on your screen selection buttons, if you check the "Displays on all screens" then you only need one copy of them, AND they will select the proper page when in Screen4.. ( I just nooticed the redudancy is all, and I find it handy to just press them to jump around..)

Ill let you know in a bit..

B:

 As yet, you cant. The zoom was important and there was no way to diferentiate. Jog is about the only one that was important, so only an invisable button, (bitmap button with no image) will do that job at the moment..

Hi:
  This is my fault. SOme of the new features of the upcoming screend designer addin forced me to change the way things scale. The new method looks at each object and figues out its maximim size. It then scales the screen by the % change fro your displays size and the largest oibject.

  Are you sure there is nothing at the extreme of the cramped side? Send me the screen if you like, and Ill see if I can fix the bahavious.. This happens when I much in the screen design stages, but in this case, it was necessary for me to do it to add more toys for all you artistic types...

Thanks

Hi:

  I meant motor drivers, not a program driver. It needs to be step/direction before it can backlash correct..

Hi:

 Its true, in MaxNC modes, there is no software Backlash comp.

It cannot be added at this time..

  Only a switchover to new drivers can fix that up..

Sorry,

F:

   When you unzipped Screen4 , there were three text files in there as well as Screen4.exe. All 4 must be copied to the MAch3 folder. If not, that error is output..

Sorry, hit reply too quick. If you have the geckomotion loaded, you need to reflash it with MachIV firmware to see it on TCP from Gloader I think..

>> gecko motion firmware

 Geckomotion formware will not talk via tcp , I believe it is for USB only, and not with MAchIV..
