Mach4 General Discussion / Loop-d-loop G41

« on: May 14, 2020, 12:52:26 PM »

When I use a G41 to compensate, my radius cut goes crazy with another loop to prep for the next move. Between the G02 and the next G01 is where I get the circled prep move.

g01 x1.2837 y-.33

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 screen not updating while running Macro

« on: September 25, 2017, 10:55:54 AM »

mcCntlGcodeExecuteWait() seems to work fine, but the screen doesn't update while the code is running.  It updates after the button script is done. I can compile and step through the lua code and it works fine in debug mode. When I try to run my M file from MDI or in a gcode line it ignores it. If I copy and paste the code to a button, without the function title and debug snip at the end, it operates correctly but does not update the screen till it is finished. I really need the screen dro's updated while it is running. Is there a function I can drop in my lua code that will update the screen while it is running?
