I noticed that Darwin can do a LOT of I/O but you suggest only 2 lpt ports as normal. Where does one access the higher number of I/O ?

Mach4 General Discussion / New posibilities

« on: May 08, 2014, 07:21:50 PM »

Here is a sample of a Mach4 Manuals page where you can read the manuals AND a page were you can access THE NFS Mill Wizard and be running mach4 cutting a part and creating the next part at the same time.

 It is a little shaky on running the Wizard, IF you MOVE the window Mach4 will stop untill you release the window grab.
But it DOES seem to work.

I created a Wizard part then load into Mach4 and ran while I created another part and saved ready to run. AND did a third part.


Interesting, AND I am sure there is a better way to do this BUT it worked.

OK SO HOW do you do that ??. I have 24 {f} keys I use for Functions in lue of the MOUSE. I need to assign them to screen buttons and /or functions.

ALSO a horror story with the screen editor. Working on a screen set and it started acting funny. It would NOT align a set of buttons. OK so I had better save and stop. DID THAT and it scrambled the screen set on save. When I open it in mach4 the buttons I was working with showed up on the main program screen behind other stuf and on the page I was working on half the buttons would NOT show up until I clicked on the page.

Lost that screen set,  (;-) TP

HEY Craig interested in taking a wack at a bar code scanner routine for loading Gcode files. Brian had one for Mach3 as a plugin.

Just a thought, (;-) TP
