Yup, that was a bug and it has been fixed.  :)

Edit your screen so that whatever tab you want to be the default in that group is.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Disable keyboard control on startup?
« on: August 09, 2016, 01:25:14 PM »
Also, the KeyboardInputsToggle function was updated on 5-16-16. So..... if your not running one of the latest test version you might want to update.

ftp://anonymous:guest@machsupport.com/Mach4/DevlopmentVersions/Mach4Hobby%20Installer-4.2.0.3130.exe

If you do update I would begin with one of the default profiles.

What are the PCs specs? What other software is installed on the PC? The canned cycles (which are embedded into lathe) uses a lot of images so I could see mill and router working fine but lathe being an issue if PC resources are limited.

Hello Mark,

I have attached 2 files that should be all you need if your using one of CNC4PC's MPG12 - 6 AXIS PENDANTs. If not, you will likely have to adjust to fit your needs. The script goes at the end of the SigLib table in the screen load script. This will add the necessary sigs to the SigLib table and make the CNC4PCPendant() function the first function outside of the SigLib table. It has all been tested too.

The script in the PDF and the lua file attached here are the same. You only need to use one or the other. The only reason I included the lua file is because sometimes copying and pasting from a PDF will add unwanted characters and mess up the formatting.

In the probing tab there is a calibration tab. Calibrate XY offset I think is what your looking for. In all of the probing pages there are help buttons. Each different help button displays different information.

Alternately, you could install the prerelease mentioned here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,27039.msg227697.html#msg227697 and give the new touchoff module a go.

There aren't any docs to speak of for the module yet but hovering over elements (buttons, input fields, descriptions, etc.) in the touchoff gui shows tooltips that pretty much cover everything.

The pre-releases mentioned here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,27039.msg227697.html#msg227697 uses a coroutine in the ref all home script. You will want too look at the ref all home button script, screen load script and the PLC script. This may be a way to do what you want and avoid a loop.

You may also be able to use a signal script.

I would look at some of the scripts that come with the defaults to see how to do lots of things.

Not sure how much luck your going to have if limits are active at end of homing routine. Sounds like they are positioned exactly backwards. Limits should not be active when homing (unless they are both the same switch) but home switch being active when limit is is not an issue. Home switches are only looked at while homing. Limits are watched all the time (except in homing routine if the home and limit switch are one in the same).

I just added some things to help with this exact scenario. You will need to get the prerelease discussed here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,27039.msg227697.html#msg227697

Once you have it installed and have created your own custom profile open the custom profile and choose operator, edit screen.

The first thing to do is save the screen as something unique.

Then edit the RefAllHome function in the Screen Load Script to do what you want. It will look something like this.....

Code: [Select]
function RefAllHome()
    mc.mcAxisDerefAll(inst)  --Just to turn off all ref leds
    mc.mcAxisHomeAll(inst)
    coroutine.yield() --yield coroutine so we can do the following after motion stops
    ----See ref all home button and plc script for coroutine.create and coroutine.resume
    wx.wxMessageBox('Referencing is complete')
    mc.mcCntlGcodeExecute(inst, G0 G53 X10 Y10)
end
