General Mach Discussion / Home switch not working correctly. Suggestion please

« on: March 18, 2015, 08:30:25 PM »

My old home switches (cheap $3 switches) were starting to give me problems so I decided to change them out. I upgraded to some very nice industrial grade micro switches. The problem I am having is when I home an axis, the switch stops the axis, reverses the axis to open the switch. However I think my new switches are experiencing bounce. On Mach3 I see the switch turn green and the axis reverses direction. All is good but the axis stops and the switch is still green and that stops the other axes from homing. I can jog the axis a little and the switches go white. I have tried increasing the de-bounce time to 800 and I see no change. Suggestions? If I increase the de-bounce time, what else does the de-bounce time affect. My old cheap switches has a de-bounce time of 0 and they worked OK. Suggestions.  

Thanks for your help

VB and the development of wizards / Multidimensional arrays in Cypress Basic?

« on: November 12, 2011, 03:00:49 PM »

Hello all,

In reading the Cypress Basic (CB) reference manual I see the CB supports multidimensional  arrays. But I can not find the answer to my questions.
1) How do you Dim an empty two dimensional array?  Dim myarray ( , ) as integer    -does not work.
2) If you get a two dimensional array declared, how do you ReDim it?

Thanks for your time and advice

Hello All,
I am looking for a replacement VB editor that can replace the MachCB editor. I have had several problems with the editor. Loosing a days work by incorrect saving, text font too small, etc . It would be nice if we could use something like Visual Studio... In any case what do you use.. any suggestions..
thanks
