General Mach Discussion / Look ahead above 2 can cause G0 Feed-hold/Cycle Start Issues Position Loss

« on: January 08, 2008, 01:12:00 AM »

Hi, All

Mach3R3.01 is on line, It Has a couple of Issue's.

Wait till tomorrow, When this Msg. is Deleted or Edited to download.

Yahoo mach1mach2cnc group is down at the moment, Posted some info for Brian just before it went down.

In the install location has a space between the C:\Mach 3 should be C:\Mach3.

I now in the past there has been a install path C:\Mach3R183.##.... that had to be edited to Mach3 sometimes.


Mach3R3.01 has a fix for a feedhold problem, There seems to be an Issue with position after a feed hold In G0 move,

It's losing position on next Cycle Start.


Thanks, Chip

I've tried this DXF in many way's/formats, grouped, un-grouped, exploded and saved with different cad program's, TurboCad V 8, BobCad V 22, Rino.....

Over different Ver's of LC it's worked from time to time, Hears the DXF and some screen shot's

VB and the development of wizards / Mouse button push-on & release-off, For an Output# in Mach button

« on: November 19, 2007, 03:52:39 PM »

Hi, All

My VB skill's are very bad, Could someone post some VB code for a Mouse button push-on, release-off for an Output#.

Like the MPG Jog Arrows, Searched all over for something simple and concise.

The code below only allows a Click on and Click off

If IsOutputActive( OUTPUT17 ) Then
   DeActivateSignal( OUTPUT17 )
Else
   ActivateSignal( OUTPUT17 )
End If   

Just Lost Hear Thanks, Chip

Brains Development / Brain Jog XY

« on: November 18, 2007, 10:45:29 PM »

Hi, All

Just fooling around with Brain's a little. Using output 6 to start and stop Jog X+ Y+ axises, Works Pretty Darn Good.
First it changes to Cont Jog then Jog's XY together, Then another Click turns them Off, Really Nice !!!

Thank you  Art and All responsible for these Features.

Note's:

Cont. & Inc. Jog's are backwards in Brain"s.
Cont. Jog will Jog both axis's.

Inc. Jog's one axis at a time ?.
But on MDI line both will jog inc. at the same time ?.

Would be nice if Brain's would allow for Input User-Button's, A code in Edit Button Script to allow brain's to see/use them.
Maybe some User-Led's , User-Button's, User-Output's in Output"s Also, Just thinking down the road a little.
   
Thanks, Chip
