Finished Screens / Mach3 2010 Screenset - Now available
« on: November 02, 2014, 05:11:35 PM »
Auto screen enlarge was unchecked.  Other suggestions?  Any other info I can give you about my settings that may help?

I thought I remembered reading about how to fix this, but I can't seem to find it.  When I hit TAB to pull up the diagnostics screen, it only comes across half way and most of it is hidden off to the right of the monitor display.  I can't drag the window over to see the rest.  Any ideas?  I think I'm running the original screen size (not the 1280 one).

Also, my z axis is on a really slow drive screw while my x and y can move very fast.  In the screenset, when I set jog to 25%, this is great for my x and y, but z jogging takes so long.  Is there any way to set z independently?

It sort of worked. The parameters would get out of sync so on subsequent homing it would sometimes start off on the lower federate.  Instead of using getparam, I just typed in an actual value that suited my needs.   Thanks guys.

Debounce in Mach settings or in the homing code?  Can I put a pause command after the 1st Wend in the homing code I posted?

RefCombination(7)

While IsMoving()
Wend

SetParam("XRefPer", GetParam("XRefPer")/10)
SetParam("YRefPer", GetParam("YRefPer")/10)
SetParam("ZRefPer", GetParam("ZRefPer")/10)

RefCombination(7)

While IsMoving()
Wend

SetParam("XRefPer", GetParam("XRefPer")*10)
SetParam("YRefPer", GetParam("YRefPer")*10)
SetParam("ZRefPer", GetParam("ZRefPer")*10)

Update.  I just tried it out.  All three axes move at same time, hit their switch and then back off.  After this nothing happens and I am unable to jog the axes unless I reset first.   I was expecting to see the axes go back for the switches a 2nd time.  I commented out all lines expect the first RefCombination line, and I was able to jog the aces immediately after homing was complete.  Ideas?

Thanks again Gerry.  I'm just trying to help you get to 4,000 posts :)

Thanks.  So DoButton(xx) is the built-in macro to move an axis to the switch, then back it off?  Where can I see the code for this or find other DoButton codes (just to look around and learn).

Just for curiosity and learning, why sleep(100) in between the While and Wend?

I see the parameters are all divided by 10.  I take it these parameters are the feed rates.  Now I get that the end of the code just resets the parameters (multiply by 10) to what they originally were before the macro finishes.

Thanks,

Ha.  I've read that manual so many times and always skipped over that part thinking I'll never need that!   Thanks.  Makes sense, but the command seems to use the usual feed rate.  How do I slow it to 1 ipm for the 2nd touch?

Not sure I follow.  You mention to use the RefCombination command, but it isn't used in your example.  And yes, I am using separate x, y, z limit switches on separate inputs.  Also using your 2010 screenset :)

Where is a good source to find the explanation of the code functions and how they are formatted? (i.e. IsMoving, Set Param, RefCombination, etc...)
