General Mach Discussion / Re: return called with no sub in effect problem continues

« on: February 17, 2018, 01:13:26 AM »

I confirm the problem exists in 050 and not in 066. As a workaround does it work for you to add a blank entry like just add N105 between N100 M98 P2000 L5 and N110 M30 so it looks like this?

N100 M98 P2000 L5
N105
N110 M30

Also it seems to work with or without putting the P parameter at the end of the subroutine.

Art,

I now have the z axis functioning correctly from within M4. I never figured out what the problem was but a reinstall of Mach4 and Darwin worked.

On the ports control page why would pin 17 (used for the charge pump) blink? When I by mistake had charge pump1 hooked to pin 1 that light blinked. When I mapped it to pin 17 then 17 blinks. Is this anything to worry about?

Art,

What would cause the a motor to move in darwin? It makes no difference whether the motor is enabled or not. I have had trouble with this since 1.145 although I never tested versions 1.15 or 1.16. Version 1.18 does this as well.

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: Scripting in vs2008

« on: November 24, 2012, 04:50:57 AM »

In case anyone was curious, I got this issue resolved.  I was using the Mach3 Plugin Wizard. Thanks Ed Bryson. For some reason the registry entry that had the ProgID got erased. A rollback to the originally installed version (3.042.020) corrected the problem. I had been getting a class not found error.

Has anyone ever got the script commands to work in VS2008? I am looking for the openteachfile and related commands... I have been beating my head for quite a while on this.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: Macro size limit

What's "reasonable" depends on the level of desperation or determination, doesn't it?    I was thinking of trying to write a wrapper for the c++ headers that I needed and then finish in VB.Net.

Thanks a lot for your time and ideas.

Other solutions fall into the category of "you can program up most anything if you want to expend enough effort..."

Would you care to elaborate on that? I have spent hundreds of hours already on this project. Most of it has been learning one aspect or another of mach3 or VB.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: Macro size limit

« on: March 21, 2012, 10:28:17 PM »

The problem with expand is that it requires 3.43.06 and the target version is 3.42.040. Is there a way to create a dll in like VS2010 Visual Basic? What I run into there is I don't know how to import the DRO and Led conditions and values. Any other ideas?

Is there a way outside of creating a plugin to get around the size limit of an .m1s file? When I try to debug any .m1s file over 65kb it says "Error -  Not enough storage to complete this operation. Any ideas?
