VB and the development of wizards / Oscillative Movement

« on: June 19, 2007, 04:56:10 AM »

Is there anyone who knows how you can add an oscillative movement to the Z-axis?

I have thougt of perhaps adding some signal directly to the output signal, to the servo, but I'm not sure how to do it.
Does anyone have a better solution?

It's just that, in addition to to the diamter, height and description I need parameters for increment and flex, so the machine doesn't cut away to much material.

But an search function is not a dumb idéa either, actually a function like that is almost implemented in my tool table

Actually that is what i'm trying to do. But I still need to read in the mirrored database to the internal one. I thought i could do that from within my program, it's too bad i can't

I need this because i need a tooltable where the tool diameter is recalculated depending on its tool number and which tools have been used before, the built in tool table can't do this.

Also i would like to have a little more eye candy in the tooltable, such as images of the tools, perhaps an OGL model and such.

Perhaps it's possible to to build my tooltable, call from a buttonscript and let mach3 wait for my app to end, and thereafter load my database using m-codes.

The shell VB-instruction returns a ID to the process called and there is functions in the windows-DLLs to wait for processes to end, but i don't know if the ID from the shell-routine corresponds the handle the windows-functions asks for.

Hello again!

Now I have a problem again. I've found out that it isn't possible to make a wizard that do the things I need
Because I need to input strings and also I would like to add an image on the tools, read from a database. Therefore I need an external program that can access the tool table file tool3.dat

So I really need to know the binary format of the file.

Thanks

Ok, thank you, Wolfram!

Will those changes be saved over different runnings, in the tool table file?

I need a wizard, or an external program that can access the tool table, which lies in the tool3.dat file, in the macros catalog. There I want to change the tool names and dimension.

So I need to know the file-format of the tool3.dat file
