VB and the development of wizards / some VB questions

« on: April 20, 2008, 07:12:19 AM »

hi,

i just started with VB programming in Mach3 (version 2.63). in "general config" i switched "run marco pump" on.

but i have the following questions:

1. my macrocode runs but only if i start it manually. how can i let it run continuously when mach starts.
2. i want an extra button on a standard mach screen (lathe) to jump to my own developed screen. how can i edit de default mach screens.
3. i have a button and a button script on my own developed mach screen. but when i press the button (with my mouse) the VB buttonscript does not run?

thanks,

VB and the development of wizards / Re: Macro VB Script for Lathe Toolchanger

hi,

thanks for all these replies, they have been a great help to get started. but i have 3 questions about the VBcode:

1. how can i become the "GetOEMDRO (1200)". I cannot find this on my screens in MACH3 turning. is it possible to become this dro on a screen.
2. the Code "G4 P1.0" does not work at all. the line is executed but it does not delay? is it a configuration fault somewhere in mach?
2. my macro only runs if i start i manually, i thought it would run continuously.

thanks

LazyTurn / Re: LazyTurn

hi art,

thank you for your reply. i think i misunderstand the difference between toolpaths and profiles. what i mean (and that is what i really miss) is: importing a dxf file, generating toolpahts so that every time the chisel go's along the material 0.5 mm (for example) of material is taken away.

thanks

LazyTurn / Re: LazyTurn

hi art,

thank you for working on lazyturn. i am a newbee with mach3 turn, and i was quite disappointed about lazycam for turning; actually i cannot use it for generating profiles (pro version).

am i right that if you implement "tools" i should be able to generate profiles?

thanks
