NEVER MIND. User error!

(I'm an idiot and was confusing my two (separate) Mach3 installations. I hadn't installed the macro files into my profile correctly.)

Thanks Gerry. Still loving the screenset. Well worth the couple of bucks.

Yeah, weird. I cant figure it out either.

Oh well, problem solved. If anybody else has a problem like this, I'd suggest copy-pasting the macro code into the button, and setting the button to 'Execute Basic Script'. Worked for me. Once I get a touch probe, I will test all the other macros to determine if it is macro's in general or if it is just one button.

Hi Gerry,
I deleted the macro and tried again, no difference.

I added messageboxes, and no difference.

But I did figure out a fix. I went into the screen designer, and changed the button from execute G-Code (M890) to execute basic script (with the code from M890 macro) and it works fine.


Does this screenshot look correct?

Yeah. Its been happening for quite a few weeks. Is there another macro accessible from a button? I wonder if it that specific macro, or all macros in general...

Gerry, having some trouble with the laser crosshair. Hoping you can help.

When I click the button. Nothing. Nothing moves, nothing happens, the DRO's don't change.

Now, when I go into 'VB Script Editor', open M890, I see the (correct) code. When I click on the 'Run Script' button, it acts as I would expect. The DRO's change to my offset.

Any idea on what I am doing wrong? Must be a silly problem.

Here is the code from my M890 in-case I buggered something up.

======
XOffset = -120   'X offset from laser crosshair to spindle
YOffset = 120   'Y offset from laser crosshair to spindle

SetOEMDRO(800,XOffset)
SetOEMDRO(801,YOffset)
Sleep(125)
======

Cheers,

KS
