Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / SImple RS232 interfacing?

« on: June 06, 2011, 12:14:10 PM »

Few days ago I receive one of these simple usb-rs-232 converters for pcb integration: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180532641086 I do like to play with small microchip PICs from time to time

I would like to know if there is a plugin to set toggles or buttons via rs-232 messages, something like this:

data sent from small PIC microcontroller via rs232 small text messages:

"1000=1" <- set led 1000 to on
"1000=0" <- set led 1000 to off
"1000=2" <- change status

same for oem triggers

In a nutshell, a plugin to implement simple text messages like is described here: http://machsupport.com/MachCustomizeWiki/index.php?title=Mach_specific_Subroutines/Functions_grouped_by_purpose#Serial_port

Thanks!!

Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Metric setting leaves little space for values

« on: March 11, 2009, 06:12:31 PM »

I have installed version 2.79 wizards from latest mach3 stable release. My machine is configured for millimeters.

for us metric people, 4 zeroes after the decimal point is too much, leaves little space for the integer part of the numbers and the +/- sign, it would be nice to have more space for large metric numbers

Thanks!
