General Mach Discussion / Re: Pause Problem

Nope, been down that path. It just refuses to feedhold. Funny thing is that it worked for a couple of weeks and then just quit.

General Mach Discussion / Pause Problem
« on: May 19, 2009, 06:04:36 PM »
Using the latest lockdown version with G100 plugin and a custom plugin that I wrote to handle a serial pendent. The "PAUSE" function was working OK until today. The system will just not pause. I unloaded the custom plugin that I wrote thinking that this was the problem, however the the pause still will not work. I have tried both the System pause and button 1001. Any thoughts?

No, I am calling the IsMoving function from the callback function in C++. The same thing happens when I try to call DoOEMButton, but the DoButton and GetDRO functions work just fine. I went through the plugin tutorial, and the file CMyScriptObject.h was built correctly. The functions are declared in the header file, yet the compiler (Visual Studio 2003) can't seem to resolve the IsMoving call. Everything else is working correctly.

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / IsMoving function problem

Trying to cal the IsMoving function from a plugin. No matter how I try to convince the compiler that it is defined, it kicks an error of undeclared identifier. If is defined in the headers but.....?

General Mach Discussion / Gcode Line Count Overflow
« on: April 12, 2009, 01:51:26 PM »
Using a GCode file that has about 100,000 Lines. The line counter counts up to 32768 and then counts down from -32767 back to zero and then up again (Signed 16Bit Integer Problem). Anyone have a fix for this. I want to display the total lines count from the GCode file when it is originally loaded so that the user can compare the current line count to the total lines as an estimate of the time left for the run.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Limits/Home/Software Limits Question
« on: April 11, 2009, 09:14:06 AM »
OK, It all works now with one problem. On the MDI screen there is a manual limits override button and an LED that indicates the override status. Once the button was pressed to come back off of the limit switches, the LED indicates that the limits are manually being overriden. However after jogging off of the limits, the LED never clears back and manual override is always active. How can I turn off the manual override again. It is like the software is putting the GRex into manual override and never resetting it back once the button is pressed. After power cycling the GRex and rebooting the computer, the Override LED still shows that the manual override is active and in fact it is.

OK, Got the hard limits working. However soft limits still do not work with the G100. Anyone know of a fix? Also, is there a way to reset the manual limit override once it has been set?

General Mach Discussion / Limits/Home/Software Limits Question
« on: April 07, 2009, 08:42:35 AM »
I am retrofitting a router with a G100 and Mach3. Everything works well except for the following. I have the X-- limit and the X Home set up with a single limit switch, the Y-- and the Y-Home set up with a single limit switch, and separate X++ and Y++ Limit switches. When I home the machine without the limit switches for X-- and Y-- enabled, the machine homes as it should. If I enable the limit functions for X-- and Y--, when I home the machine the limits are activated and the machine will not home once the limit switches are activated. Further, when I go to either the X++ or the Y++ limits, the machine will not jog back in the negative direction until I go in and deactivate the limit switches. I am also able to jog past the soft limits that I have set up. I have searched the forums, the docs, and the groups and I don't seem to be able to find any reference to this problem. I know that I am missing something, but a hint in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks

Dan
