Machscreen Screen Designer / Re: DRO Question

« on: January 16, 2012, 10:40:02 PM »

First,  Thank you for all the help!
Mach allows me to jog around with my arrow keys but when my screen 11 is displayed they no longer work.  My jog buttons on the screen work fine, but the keyboard arrow keys don't.

What in the word would cause that?

Okay....  Why only that one looks bold?

Here is the screen, page 11.

A couple more small issues.  See attached screenshot.

All the labels should be the same font and color but one acts like it's in bold. "Z Down Feed"

Also, the UserDRO's have the last digit overlapping the right side of the frame.

Is there anything that can be done to fix those items?

It's screen 11.  Don't laugh, I'm just playing and trying to get the hang of screens.

I'm still not having any luck displaying the Current Tool.
In Screen Designer, I Add a DRO, the properties for the DRO are:
Function: Tool Number DRO
Code: 824
Format: %2D
 
If I go the Screen 1 and enter a tool number it's displayed properly in the DRO on Screen1 but the DRO on my new screen page always remains at Zero.

I use it to store a value in from my M6Start Macro.

SetUserDRO (1200, NewTool)

Mach always starts up with Current Tool as 0,  The DRO1200 Stores the LastTool#
I use it in an init macro to set CurrentTool on startup. 

Works very well however I want to be able to see it's value.

Thanks,  1200,  I'm just trying to display the value stored in DRO1200.

Machscreen Screen Designer / DRO Question

« on: January 15, 2012, 01:19:08 PM »

Okay, I'm a newby and I'm creating my first screen.
I created a new screen for my Tool changer and I'm having an issue with a couple of DRO's.

When I add a DRO for Current Tool Number DRO - Code 24 it never actually displays the current tool, always Zero.
If I enter a number in there, it does update the Current Tool DRO on other pages, but mine still says Zero.

Also, I created another DRO and I'm trying display the value in the OEM DRO1200 but It always shows Zero as well.
I used the following:  OEM Code 12000

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Richard

The spindle file has both sections of G-code "if" I remember correctly.
