Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Bigger text size for wx.wxMessageBox in my m6 routine

« on: November 13, 2019, 05:01:37 AM »

Hi,
I had a look to the wxWidgets, phuuu. But I am willing to dig into.
I want to resize the text in the wxMessagebox of my m6 tool change routine (Im 66, my eyes geting worse).
Where/what is the parent window for this routine?
Are there any hints for a wxWidgets beginner?

Is there a possibility to change text attributes, primarily text size and/or bold, for the MessageBox?

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: 'T on M6 line is tool in use' not configurable

I know the risks, no problem.
I found out that the problem happened only in my standard profile, so I 'imported' it into the new installation also. I deleted this one and created it anew. > Problem solved.

Mach4 General Discussion / 'T on M6 line is tool in use' not configurable

« on: November 14, 2018, 04:39:35 AM »

I configure it in the tools menu and press enter. If I recall the tools menu the configuration is set back to 'T on M6 line is next tool'. Also it works so.
My Logfile shows:
2018-11-14 10:16:09.029 - Logging Enabled.
2018-11-14 10:16:15.404 - API: mcCntlConfigStart(inst = 0) (Mach4GUI)

2018-11-14 10:27:43.887 - S_IDLE_on_entry
--------------------------------------------------------
I am running version 3893. I run 3835 before with same problem and hopped, installing the latest version would solve my problem.

Is there any other setup which influences this config part? What cold be the reason for this misbehavior.

Regards,
Karl

Mach4 Toolbox / Re: M6: how to add manual spindle RPM with tool change?

« on: October 02, 2018, 05:48:52 AM »

I added a custom field "Real Length" to my tool table. I print the value for the selected tool within the M6 routine with the following code:
-------------------------------
local toollen = mc.mcToolGetDataExDbl(inst, selectedtool, "Real Length")
wx.wxMessageBox("Please change to tool# "..selectedtool..": "..changetoo..", "..toollen.." mm and press ok to continue")
-------------------------------
You could add a field called "Spindle RPM" to the tool table and add values for each tool.
How about that?
Regards,
Karl

You are right, sometimes I feel realy poor.
I am reading the operation manual that came with the installation download and is located in the M4hobby/Docs directory. It is version 1.0

Newfangled Mill Wizard / Licence policy different from Mach4

« on: February 03, 2018, 09:00:44 AM »

I just paid a licence for NFS Mill and expected, that I can use it on my both PCs. One is driving my Mill exclusively, the other one is for preparing the mill projects using fusion360 and others. BY the way, I have to go down 3 floors into my workshop to use the other PC.
Now NFS Mill came in and I wanted to load a 2nd licence to run the tool on both machines as it is usual for Mach4 and as it is very practical.
I found this on the licence screen: You cannot create any more licenses for license id 35166.
Is there a pssibility for me to use it on both machines?
Regard,

Mach4 General Discussion / Offsets, probing and operation manual

« on: February 03, 2018, 08:21:01 AM »

I am new to CNC and M4 and struggling a lot in finding the right Z spot (as many others her in the forum).
Trying to RTFM I found, that the maybe important figures 3-9, 3-11, 3-13 and 3-14 are missing.
I use Acrobat reader DC, so it should not be a reader problem.
Please update the manual or at least let me know the this figures.
Thanks in advance,

Newfangled Mill Wizard / Re: Tabs

« on: February 03, 2018, 07:58:56 AM »

I want to raise up this subject. Tabs are quite important to safe the workpiece and the tool at the very last step of a mill process. Please restart thinking on it.
Thanks
