Mach4 General Discussion / mc.mcToolGetSelected(inst) issue In lathe mode
« on: April 15, 2020, 11:55:29 AM »
Dear all,
I'm currently trying to make retrofit of my realmeca T20 cnc lathe with CS lab electronic and mach4. I have many issues, but there's one I don't know what to do.
I've tried to solve my problem with Trevor from artSoft, but we are in an incredible situation so I stop.
So the problem is simple.
At the beginning of M6 macro there's a command which is selectedTool=mc.mcToolGetSelected(inst) ; selectedTool returns me the good value in mill control mode, but not in lathe (diameter) control mode. I use a message box to see this.
For example, M6T2 returns 2 in mill mode (that is normal), but in lathe mode it returns 0, always, with all tool number I test.
Another strange thing is that M6 macro is executed twice in lathe mode, not in mill mode (I see this because messagebox appears twice).
Does anyone knows this ? Is there something to do ?
