VB and the development of wizards / Re: Read out G-Code list in the top right corner of mach3

« on: January 09, 2011, 04:00:04 AM »

Many thanks to all of you !

I am going to install a user led which is set to on if g31 is running (controled by my probing code).

So i have an indicator if g31 is running.

Thank you

Hi TP,

i wrote a macro which is running with the macropump to protect a touchprobe against collision.

It controls permanently if the probe LED is on and if so the macro controls if the probe drives more than 0.5mm in any axis.

If the probe drives more then 0.5mm while the tip has touched the macro stops all motion with reset.

When i do g31 with g0 i sometimes have a bigger overrun than 0.5mm and the macro stops the machine what is not wanted in that case.

I only could do slower g31 probes or i tell the macro while g31 is active to do nothing...

VB and the development of wizards / Read out G-Code list in the top right corner of mach3

Hello,

for a script i should exactly know, if g31 is active (not if the probe led is on).

I thought it could be easy to read out the active g-code list on the top right corner of mach3 where all active g codes are listet (G54 G90 G00 ......)

It seems to be a label called mode.

Do any of you have an idea how to read out the codes?

Thank you

Hello,

i wonder if it is possible with VB to change the active high/low of an input or output pin with vb?

VB and the development of wizards / Why Dialogbox is flashing

« on: March 27, 2010, 02:06:24 PM »

Hi,

i wrote a small code for some kind of touch-screen-functionality.
Works really well, but everytime a button is pressed the Dialogbox-Window is "flashing".

Is there any way to stop this flashing of the box?

Thank You!

Code:

Dim Eingabe As String

Begin Dialog Maintdlg1 10,10, 350,200, "Zahlenwert Eingeben X="
     
      TEXT 10,24, 50,12, "Wert X:"
      TEXTBOX 60, 22, 280, 12,.nameStr
      'OKBUTTON 80, 54, 40, 12,.okbtn
      'OPTIONBUTTON 130, 80, 40, 12,"0"
     
      PUSHBUTTON 20, 160, 40, 18,"0"
         
      PUSHBUTTON 20, 130, 40, 18,"1"
      PUSHBUTTON 80, 130, 40, 18,"2"
      PUSHBUTTON 140, 130, 40, 18,"3"

      End Dialog
 
  Dim Maintbox As Maintdlg1                 
      Do
       
 
       'Dialog Maintbox
       
       button = Dialog (Maintbox)
       
       If button < 11 Then
       
       Maintbox.nameStr = Maintbox.nameStr & button -1

VB and the development of wizards / How to insert a Userdefined (intelligent) Label

« on: March 25, 2010, 08:22:14 AM »

Hello,

i know how to set / get Data from a Userdefined Label (SetUserlabel 1 , "Hello")

But i do not know how to insert a label into the screen of mach 3...?

Just an example:

I want to place a label in the top left of the mach 3 screen.

I want to use the label to give textinformation to the user like "Program done" and so on.

How can i create / place a userdefined label?

Normaly i use MachSreen as editor, but i do not see something to insert userdefined label, only normal ones...

Thank you very much!!
