VB and the development of wizards / Rewind to previous sequence in G-code

« on: February 19, 2012, 05:36:25 AM »

I have a difficult task for you 

I've built a screen that builds a cutting G-code program based of inputs from the user.

The program is simple and consist of [start parameters] -> [x number of cuts in a sequence] -> [End Parameters]

My question for you: Is it possible for the user to be able to rewind to the previous cutting sequence?

=> User is running cut number 2 -> User stops in the middle of the procedure -> Press "Rewind" button -> VB set next line to the start of Cut number 2 -> Press start



Program example:

->Parameters<-

Cut 1
.
.
Cut 2
.
.
And so on...
.
.
->End<-

Brains Development / Arduino -> modbus -> Brain

« on: January 28, 2012, 09:32:47 AM »

Hi Guys,

Building a arduino[modbus] based Pendant for my machine but has run in some trouble with brain, plz help


1. I'm jogging the axis by buttonpress. When using the buttons I want it to jog while I press the buttons, just like the binded keys at my keyboard. It starts jogging but never stops! What am I missing?

# It haven't crashed. Everything else works.
# Keyboard jogging works
# "Cont jog" is selected
# According to control brain it all works, the input is turned on only when pressed.
# When trying in "Step mode" it works just fine, it steps the amount selected in "incremental step".

2. I'm using 2 analog inputs FRO and Jog%. One of the registers has stopped working, when I use another one it works but this is strange. The Arduino handles this registers the same way. Is there a limit of registers you can use (I'm using 22)? Is there some known bug causing this?

3. How do you configure brain to actuate a button on the screen that isnt in the buttonlist?
