Mach4 General Discussion / Editing loaded GCode???
« on: September 28, 2022, 08:52:38 AM »
I know this seems very basic, but in Mach3 mill I could load a Gcode file and change it if needed.

With Mach4 I can't seem to find that option. I have to unload the Gcode (load a different Gcode file) and edit it with an external editor.

Am I missing something?

thanks

Edit: found it hidden away - very unintuative

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 screen action/script precedence
« on: August 03, 2022, 08:18:53 AM »
On a button there are actions and scripts that can be attached to the button (see picture).

It seems both can be used together e.g. I have an action assigned and also a script and they both execute, but what is the order they execute?

Action then script?

thanks

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 API/SDK
« on: June 19, 2022, 02:23:26 PM »
Anyone know where it is? I messaged Artsoft and they told me the docs were in the DOCS folder... but they reference non existent MACH4SDK etc and no actual help in program structure compiling etc etc. "Include the MachAPI.h file in your source files." where is that then?

Anyone got a base code example for the SDK? I've asked DazTheGaz and Brian Barker with no reply.

Can't get the XBOX360 lua plugin working properly as it rumbled persistently. Developer not responding the messages/forum posts.

thanks

Mach4 Plugins / DaztheGaz XBOX 360 Lua bug/error
« on: June 18, 2022, 05:51:05 AM »
Trying to get the DaztheGaz XBox360 lua working on my Miller/Registered Mach4 system and for the most part it works fine.

However when I use the DaztheGaz XBOX 360 Lua plugin the controller randomly buzzes/vibrates. It doesn't seem to do it in any patterns but every second or so it vibrates for no apparent reason. This is WITHOUT adding a simple line of Lua scripting. Just plugging the controller in and activating the plugin.

I have tried a few different versions and they are the same... BUT the original XBOX controller plugin that comes bundled with Mach does not.

Anyone else had this problem? It looks to me like the plugin is polling the rumble feature of the controller causing it to vibrate (????) It may be because the plugin was developed on Win10 and I am using Win7. (or something like that)

Any help appreciated.

PS has anyone got a sample base code/snippet for reading inputs from controllers? I tried private messaging to usual suspects but never got a reply.

thanks again

Mach4 General Discussion / Homing - back off velocity is ignored.
« on: June 05, 2022, 12:24:29 PM »
Version 4.2.0.4809 - the backoff velocity is being ignored, it executes a G0 full speed back off instead of the slow controlled velocity that is expected.

Anyone else come across this? Fixes?

thanks

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 bug - or by design????
« on: June 02, 2022, 08:23:29 AM »
I have mach4hobby running (licensed) and a Miller. On the jogging tab the "Jog Rate%" input text-box will not accept any manual input e.g. it if set at 40.0 and I type in 50 and press enter it reverts back to 40.0.

The event is firing as I put a message for screen in it and it shows.

I am using Mach4 Hobby version 4.2.0.4809 with ESS 278.1*  (as recommended by the Warp9td site) see here -> https://warp9td.com/index.php/gettingstarted/setting-up-the-smoothstepper-and-mach4   

I aslo tried this on another machine that was was fiddling with mach4hobby on before purchase, Version 4.2.0.4612 and this works fine, although it is just the simulator as I don't have a machine hooked up to it and that version isn't registered for a license.

I have checked the code and all the settings fo the input box on both machines and they are identical.

Anyone? Developers??

thanks (pics attached)

I have added a buttion to the main screen but like many other buttons I do not want it active whilst cnc gcode is running or when the axis are being controlled manually. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks  :)
