Mach4 General Discussion / Re: msvcp140.dll missing

« on: December 29, 2019, 01:46:21 PM »

Thank you.
   msvcp140.dll was in C:\windows\System32. I also put it in  C:\windows\SysWOW64.
   Now I don't get the msvcp140.dll missing error but get this error in the edit/debug screen: Attached

"ZeroBraneStudio\bin\lua53.exe: error loading module 'machipc' from file 'C:\Mach4Hobby\Modules/machipc.dll':
   %1 is not a valid Win32 application."

I've replaced machicp_dll from another machine to no avail. Both machines are 64 bit. one works ok, the other dosn't
Any other help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Macros will not run in the Edit/Debug scripts editor. This is the error message: Attached

The file does appear to be in the Mach4 folder. See attached.

I’m using Mach4 version 4.2.0.4300 build 4300 Windows 7 64 bit. I’ve reinstalled Mach4 to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

PoKeys / Mach4 Pokeys57Ecnc Encoder speed

« on: May 19, 2019, 09:28:54 AM »

Three fast encoders input pairs are available and can handle quadrature signal frequencies to about 100 kHz. Their raw value is held in registers. How can I in real time compare pulses to a time base to get a speed? Or how can I get the frequency? Is there another Pokeys plug-in That has this option?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Craig,

Thank you again. The Time # variables are there and are represented correctly. I must not have coded my test correctly. I will work on some timers and post my results hopefully this week.

Thank you for the method. They return null in a button script for me. Apparently the time variables are not implemented yet.

Is there a way to use the Time Function # variables in scripts?

  MyLubeTimer:start(10000) starts the timer for 10seconds.

MyLubeTimer:Stop()  stops the timer.

MyLubeTimer:start(-1) restarts MyLubeTimer for 10 seconds. In other words the default valve.
 
I think I'll take another look at the TimerPanel.

Thank you Craig. No the timing is not critical and I can easily adjust the code to use it for the lub pump. As much as I'd like to do most everything in Mach4 I may just use an Arduino with its millis function for the timed events.

Thank you. This looks promising. I've set up a register and functions to get and wright to them. My plc Interval is 50. I run this code in the PLC Script for a test. The functions are in the Screen Load Script.

local val = GetRegister("HurcoTimer")
val = val + 1
WrightRegister("HurcoTimer", val)

I am in demo mode. The PLC Interval seems to be much slower than 50. I get 1000 counts in 62 seconds repeatedly. Any suggestions? thanks.

I’d like to have a timer start and stop a lub pump after an hour of spindle on time. That would be an accumulated time of spindle on and off time. The scr.StartTimer(#,Time,oneshot) starts the event after the time has expired. The scr.StopTimer(#) seems to cancel the timer before the event. I’d like to start and then pause the timer and then restart. The scr.RestartTimer(#) doesn’t seem to have any effect on the timer. How Is the RestartTimer supposed to work? Thanks for any help.
