Why not change the button to a toggle button and set the button down to blinking, works well in my screen.

Run "Mach4GUI.exe  /e" from the command line, this should load you direct into the editor after selecting your profile.

Mach4 Plugins / Re: mcX360 Plugin for Lua

Here is a quick fix.

1. Undo the 7 screws underneath the controller, one is hidden under the bottom of the label.
2. Disconect the two motors (They are just pluged in).
3. Put back together and enjoy.

I have just tested this and everything in the registry is still working.

This Pugin is no longer maintained as it is now included as a plugin with mach4 and I use a shuttle now.

Sorry I cannot help at this time, but you never know what the future holds. why not use the plugin and for any specific things you want to do use the GCode commands to trigger a lua written M code.

Sometimes I find that I might need to just tweak something and need the menu, for this I have a toggle button on a page with the up script being "scr.ShowMenu(true)" and down script being "scr.ShowMenu(false)"

Check the docs for the command mc.mcCntlToolChangeManual, this should be in your m6 macro

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach 4 Update Help Needed (4.2.0.2803 upgrade to current Version)

Its not just a question of installing and then using the latest screenset, in the profile that is working correct open up the screen editor and check the PLC and Screen scripts and even the button scripts as these could have custom functions that do not exist in the newer screensets.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Turn off mist/flood on stop/estop

You could just add it to the siglib to look out for the estop and then turn off what you want off and same add the code to the stop signal or button if easier.
