Mach Screens / How to start cycle? New to screen design

« on: May 26, 2010, 02:30:41 PM »

I am new to designing screens with Mach3 and I have made an example for me to work with, but why when I select start cycle it does not go through the G-Code and on the toolpath screen does not show a simulation of whats going on. I set the button to Cycle Start/Run function but its not working. What am I doing wrong? Here is my example file.


Thank You

VB and the development of wizards / New to Mach3. Would like to make wizards

« on: May 21, 2010, 11:21:21 AM »

Hello. I am new to the Mach3 program and would like to start to create wizards. My question is, what language do you need to know to write wizards? I have background in Visual Basic and am intermediate in it, but not a professional. However I have no background in C++ and I have seen people make wizards using this language. Must I know C++ to create wizards or is just VB good? Are there any books or tutorials online I can take a look at to create these wizards? I took a look here but all these tutorials are in C++, and I have no knowledge in this language:

Must I program the code myself or can I use existing code?

Thanks
