Sub Main()
Dim X as Int
X = 1
Print X
End Sub

2. GetVar(2002) returns the wrong value. Its -100 off of the correct value.

VB and the development of wizards / Esc key event

« on: January 14, 2009, 05:24:15 PM »

I have a homing and probing script that I wrote that is called from an external .m1s from a button in my screen set. The script runs fine but if the user hits the esc key during runtime the script doesn't exit. It stops current function and moves to the next function so you have to hit the esc key 3 times before it exits the script. How can I exit the script completely on the esc key event.

General Mach Discussion / Program Extrema calculation error

« on: November 11, 2008, 11:07:29 AM »

Attached are 2 Gcodes. The first is the complete code. The second is just a few lines from the first. Something with G17 arc plane arcs that are connected seems to be causing the X and Y program extrema to calculating wrong.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 file open improvement

« on: November 01, 2008, 12:31:31 PM »

Mach is parses the code pretty slow when you open a file. I'm guessing it parses the code for gcode errors and finds program extrema (not correctly I might add).
I would like to be able to turn off the program extrema calculation method or see it rewritten using RegEX so that it parses faster.

General Mach Discussion / Bugs in Mach 3.42.015

« on: October 31, 2008, 11:42:39 AM »

1. DRO's don't always zero they will have 0.0013 left in them sometimes.

2. Step and Dir pulse lengths on some installs will reduce upon opening and closing the motor tuning window.

       ie.  Step=2  Dir=1    after opening, setting, closing , opening motor tuning will change each by -1   

3. Program extrema is not being calculated correctly.
