General Mach Discussion / adding visual basic objects to the screen?
« on: July 21, 2009, 11:47:48 AM »
We are finding VB difficult with Mach 3 Is there  a tutorial on this anywhere?

specifically right now:

Is it possible to add an OCX object or an active X control to the screen?  We would like to put a Mschart object to record torch tip voltage, and be able to watch the chart as it runs

In general, does Mach3 allow all visual basic objects like the Mscomm, mscharts,etc... to be used?


Thanks in advance.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Is backlash causing these choppy cuts?
« on: July 17, 2009, 10:40:32 AM »
It is sometimes a option in the post processor of the CAM program.   Try posts for other machines to make sure it is capable of G2 and G3.

usually you want G2 G3 with incremental I and J


If not just edit the code by hand on simple things like that..


G0G90X2.Y0
G2I-2.F15.


Will send the cutter on a 4 inch (centerline) cut at 15 inches a minute

change to G3 if you want it to go CCW

I am trying to get any key on the keyboard to send an output signal to the breakout board.   Seems easy enough but i sure can't get it.  any ideas?

I'm trying to just control a torch tip up or down while it runs and isolated from the program running
