Hi zealous, thanks for your post.

Im a flash newbie and im not quite sure of the benefits of the code youre sharing.
My led movieclip code is quite simple

Code: [Select]
this.LedFunction = function(varName, ov, nv) {
if (nv == 0) {
gotoAndStop("off");
} else {
gotoAndStop("green");
}
newVal (nv);
return nv;
};
_root.watch(this._name,this.LedFunction);

if (_root[this._name] == 0) {
gotoAndStop("off");
} else {
gotoAndStop("green");
}

I declare the newVal function on the onClipEvent(load) of the led in case I need a special behavior.

Can you explain to me in more detail what would be the benefit of doing it the way you suggest?

Thanks

Works in progress / Flash RU Screen
« on: April 25, 2010, 11:14:34 PM »
This is my first release of the screenset I have been working on (download at the bottom).
Still many features are missing but I will be adding them in the future.

Im almost new to CNC, almost new to Mach, new to flash, new to actionscript and new to VBScript. so this has been a challenging job.

Im sure you will find many bugs and issues, I will try to fix them.

Please read the README.txt I have included before installing.

When you install it, please post so I know youre trying it.

Thanks
Pablo

Flash Screens / How should I manage tool change?
« on: April 25, 2010, 03:42:35 PM »
Hi,

Im doing some modifications to my screenset in order to share it with the community.
For anyone to be able to use it, I need to remove behaviors that are specific to my configuration.
One of them is tool change.

I dont like to keep my tool information inside mach, because I have my tool library in my CAM.
When I generate gcode, the tool information is included this way:

(TDESC;ID:14;DESC:1/4" End Mill Straight;TYPE:END_MILL;TOTLEN:80mm;OHL:50mm;SL:30mm;CL:20mm;SD:15mm;TD:6.35mm;CR:0mm;AN:0mm;FLUTES:2;MSG:In drawer 3)M810
M6 T1
S2000 M3

I use M810 to signal a function that parses the tool information and displays it in a tool change windows so the operator can do the manual change:




Of couse some users wont be able to make their postprocessor output this information, and also some others use auto tool change.

What tool change behaviors do you think I should include in the screenset tso most users can use it?

Thanks

Try this link http://www.plasticrouting.com from onsrud (they should pay me for this, but their tools really work)
You have a tool search there where you can search by material to cut.
If you have doubts, try 61-042 1 O flute straight
I tested it with HDPE, Nylon, Polypropylene, acrylic and policarbonate and it gives a clean edge finish

This tools are supposed to cut one diameter whithout problems but with aluminum i wouldnt try, specially if is not good quality.
Onsrud has some nice chipload tables online and at the back of their catalog. If i remember well, they give the values for 1xD and then they say that for 2xD decrease 25% feed and 3xD decrease 50%, but it is not clear for me wether thay reffer to full slotting.
Always try to keep the recommended chipload and SFM. If you dont feel confortable feeding too fast, lower feed but also lower rpm to mantain chip load and SFM. Otherwise you will generate too much heat.

Yes my machine is configured metric that was the reason I thought the feed was slow.
I wrote some wizards that generate multiple arcs and everytime i got that error there was a problem in my maths.

According to mach docs. the acceptable distance difference from start to center and center to final is 0.0002 inch (if inches are being used) or 0.002 millimetre (if millimetres are
being used).

I use incremental I,J most of the time, I agree it is more difficult to read but apparently is more standarized

In my experience it is quite noisy because the aluminum sheet vibrates close to the bit. Anyway you can get an acceptable finish in one pass, or if you want to make it better you can leave 0.2mm for a finish pass
