local Milliseconds = mc.mcCntlGetPoundVar(inst, 3001 )
local seconds = string.format("%02.f", math.floor(Milliseconds/1000))
if seconds == 0 then
scr.SetProperty("Machineuptime", "Label", "00:00:00")

local hours = string.format("%02.f", math.floor(seconds/3600))
local mins = string.format("%02.f", math.floor((seconds/60) - (hours*60)))

Hi,
    thanks for your reply, sorry my mistake, all i want is a signal from mach4 to trigger when it is minimized or showed, with that i could make a script that enable or disable the keybord.

Mach4 General Discussion / pwm ess laser frequency question

« on: February 25, 2022, 10:44:14 PM »

Hello,
        i've install a laser atomstack m50 on my cnc, the controller is an ess. It is hoocked up to a pwn pin that is setup in the ess plugin configuration. When i put the laser to 100%, it is a lot less powerfull then when i press the test button on the laser driver it self. What am i missing, is the pwn frequency have an impact to the power of the laser?
Thanks

Mach4 General Discussion / Incorporate wall tickness for x and y in touchoff plugin

« on: February 21, 2022, 10:34:33 PM »

Hi,
    I have made a long time ago a touchplate block to find x y and z. the tickness of the wall are .5 for the x and y and .25 for the  z. There is no option in the module to set the wall. Is there a simple way to edit the module to add it or someone have an idea for this problem.
Thanks
