General Mach Discussion / Re: screw mapping backwards?

Thanks for your reply - that is interesting info

I would assume that since I was executing my movements in MDI that the mapping was taking effect

as soon as I turned mapping off the error went back to my previous numbers

I'll have to play around some more

General Mach Discussion / screw mapping backwards?

« on: May 20, 2009, 08:08:00 AM »

hello everyone,

i've started to map my screws, taking data every 2 inches.

i would move to my target, input the actual position and add the point.

When i turn on screw correction, it actually doubled the error at each point.. for example.

i move to 12" on x.  True position is 12.008.  With screw mapping turned on, i get 12.016 as position when i remap the screw.

anything i did wrong?

VB and the development of wizards / Re: reading mouse movement?

thanks for your reply.

after i looked into it a bunch, i figured out that i could make function calls to DLL's directly in VB.

i used the user32.dll (i think thats what it is called) and was able to read mouse position x and y

my project is building an auto edge finder using an IBM trackpoint mouse as a pressure transducer

VB and the development of wizards / reading mouse movement?

« on: January 19, 2008, 11:03:18 PM »

Hello,

I have a project where i would like to monitor and analyze mouse movement from within Mach.

Is this something i can do within the scripting language? Or will i need something to pass the data into mach

Thanks for your help!  just need some direction
