General Mach Discussion / bitmap image with Transparent button overlay?

« on: February 16, 2019, 08:01:25 PM »

I have a Bitmap image of my ATC carousel and ontop of the Bitmap image of my carousel are Transparent buttons.  I push the buttons and the carousel moves works great.  The issue is, when the button is pushed it grays out and shows the standard gray behind the button not my bitmap image.   Its as if the button is going past the bitmap image of my carousel and showing the screen color background.  Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix it or what setting is wrong?  I tried layers in Machsreen design but no luck.

Thanks for Helping

What if I just turn off that line in the code since I am not using a plate to touch off anyway, but I tried that as well and still did the same thing...

I see that but I have "0" in the plate thickness.  I would think that from what I see the probe goes down touches the material, then should go up to the .5 above the part when doing the Z routine.  Am I not understanding what is going on?  I am confused then why it works sometimes and not other times.  Seems if I touch the X and Y first then Z touch gets messed up.

Here is the Z probe routine as well, forgot to add it.

Have an issue with a probe routine.  I turn machine on, home it and then do a touch off routine of the part in the X, Y and then the Z.  When I do the corner probe routine the Z works fine.  When I use the Z button to probe just the Z sometimes it works and sometimes it just drives the probe into the part.  I am using the wildhorse digitizer probe, it  works well.  Something is getting confused with the Z probe routine and need help to see if maybe the smooth stepper is missing something.  Attached is the routines.

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks for the input I finally got it figured out.  Works just like it should.

Dave I will give that a shot in a couple of minutes and see what I come up with and message right back.  I think we may be on the right track.
