Works in progress / Re: New Diamond Plate Mill Screen
« on: March 01, 2008, 08:59:49 AM »
Hi
Thanx every one. I think this is as far as I'm going to take this one. Going to work on the other screens (MDI & the such). Then move on to the lathe set.
I still can't get my tool comp dro working, tried oem 45, no luck. I'm trying to display the tool comp value when a g41 or g42 is active. I also can not find an oem code for the next move dro's.
I'm wishing I could use this screen on my machines at work! They might get upset with me ripping off their controls & hooking up PC's & large monitors though!
thanx again guys
Dave

Hi,
Thanx for the comps Graham, I should have explained better. I'm trying to make persistant "next move" DRO's work on the same screen with persistanct "position" & "distance to go" DRO's. I've got the posttion & distance to go working but can't get the next move to work. Also I'd like to display the amount of tool comp when a g41 or g42 is active, but can't seem to get it to work either. I'm not even sure if mach3 can do these two things lol. BTW you guys at artsoft have done an amazing job w/ Mach.
thanx dave

PS I lied I wasn't finisged with my screen yet! LOL Must be like writing a song you never finish writing it! lol

Works in progress / New Diamond Plate Mill Screen

Hi Every body.
I just finished my first mill screen (almost), I have two problems remaining I need to fix before I can post it.
First I can't seem to get my "next move" DRO's to work. (the amount each axis will move when the next line of gcode is executed)
Second I want to display the tool comp value when a g41 or g42 is acive. ( I've tried Dro and Label boxes to no success at all! lol)
Pls help me finish this screen. Any advice is welcome or just let my know what you think of it.
Thanx Dave

Hey Zealous,
Thanx for the comps, it means alot coming from you, i've seen some of your work here & i like what you do. Infact I might have used some of your buttons on this screen! lol I'm really having a blast doing this screen, I think i like it as much as making parts. Getting anxious to do the lathe screen. I was just doing it for fun but I think i'd post them here if peaple like them enough.
and yes by "next move DRO's" i mean the amount the XYZ&4th axis will move on the next step. not sure if mach can do this, but i use it alot @ work. making proto types dosn't allow for any scrap.
Here's how far I got today.
thanx again
Dave

Still need any info on getting "next move" dro's. so here's what I got so far, any suggestions welcome.
