General Mach Discussion / Mach Turn - Toolpath display

How do I turn off the toolpath display in Turn? 

I'm using the MachBlue screen, and I don't see any button to do so like in the 1024 mill.

Screen designer tips and tutorials / Modify Button Output
« on: July 29, 2012, 07:48:49 PM »
I would like to modify the softlimits button to activate an output when pressed, then deactivate it when pressed again.

I can get it to activate with a VB script of ActivateOutput(7)......but I can't shut it off.  This is pretty new to me, so I'm making very slow progress....lol.

I though maybe using a toggle type button would work, but it hasn't so far.

I wonder if I need a conditional script.....but don't know.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Thank you

Is it still a good idea to remove the mentioned components?  Or should I just see if everything is going to work first?  Is there a reason to not remove the components?

I bought my SS last year, but am just now beginning to put it to use.

Wow....this is really amazing.  Really cool! :)

Thanks

Well.....the first design had an idler that also put more wrap on the small pulley.  It turned out to be unnecessary and just added a lot of drag.  The belt maintains 7 teeth engaged without the idler, and is adjusted by slotted mounting of the stepper.

I made some rack and pinion reduction drives for my new project.

6061 aluminum with 120/19 Gates GT2 3mm belts and pulleys.  Final ratio is 6.32, and after the 20 tooth rack gear I'll have about .50 IPT.

It's a Nema 23 setup. :)
