Your correct Russ I started having all kind of issues.
I took out the keyboard emulation keys.

Guess they have some more work to fix that problem.
They do work, just nothing else works with them.

The 8 jog arrow keys worked fine for me till I added the last three features, then had to remove them (just the last three).

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Keyboard Emulation
« on: May 03, 2014, 02:58:32 PM »
Was asked about Keyboard emulation setup.

Thought Id show everyone how to setup and use the Keyboard as inputs.

Disable Mach4 first
Menu -- Configure Plugins
Make sure it is Enabled
Press Configure button
Press Add Button
Highlight each box from left to right
Input a New InputName
Press the Key you want to use
Shift Alt & Ctrl key options will have to be hit twice to set
when done mach4 will have to be restarted to save the these new settings

Menu -- Configure Mach
Input Signals Tab
Enable Input
Select Device from a pull down list
Select Input Name you created in the Keyboard Plugin from its pull down list
Set Input Active High or Low

that's about all there is to it.

The problem in my life I have to fix my mistakes, so I have learned to prove and verify.

If I was in a Union shop id push the button and stick to the story... "he told me it was ok run" ya better call maintenance.

While running a routine to probe in several directions aka: hole or outside of a pin
If it goes to the max position and does not see the triggered probe signal
Sounds to me what Terry wants is something like this:
a comparison of two values to test for an Error condition for safety?
If (trigger_point == maxpoint) then
   call your Error message --"mission control we have a problem"
   stop everything
end

Worked on the Tool Path tab this morning
And note, the two pages are independent of each other so you can have different display groups and viewing orientations on each page.

that is a sweet job Scott

Id taken your script and put it in the screen.set I am developing for mach4
So I had to add the 4 screens in my set
Kind of why I posted a screen capture to show the changes to the first Tab I had made.

I hoped that that with some of the examples I have posted others would feel more at ease with the screen designer and attempt some of thier own features. Having a Like Minded community will make the launch faster and more fun for all to get up to speed. While also creating a universal screen.set, functional for all.

Still trying to get my head wrapped around the Probing and how to use mc.mcMotionCyclePlannerEx()
does not show up on the LuaCalls list and debugging is giving me Errors.
message:
Got a socket error trying to read. Address '192.168.254.84'. Port 25541.

I would think probing scripts that get called on button presses to the mc.mcCntrlMdiExecute() or mc.mcCntlLoadGcodeFile()

Not sure I understand the Jog Following and just what you are referring too. Sometime I'm a little dense. :-[

But I did plan on adding your scripting features it to at least the Tool Path page.

I do like the way your script formats the four panes, I just needed to add them & name them 11 thru 14
pretty damn straight forward. Once the script runs it takes care of the formatting.
 
Again Great Job Scott

Terry I've used it for 4 years and never used the G4p0 code
It worked fine for me
