Mach Screens / Re: Maintaining position across screens

« on: November 26, 2006, 09:09:08 AM »

Check "Display on all Screens" and "Locked in Place" in the button dialog box.

Oops, you said MOST screens. Use locked in place, but type in the actual coordinates in the dialog box first.

I don't know the exact syntax, but use something like:
 code "M5" for the button script

Mach Screens / Re: Can't add LED's

« on: November 23, 2006, 10:51:56 PM »

I'll hold on to that card a little longer. It's working now

Here's what happened. I've been watching Benny's videos, in anticipation of building a Router Screen set. After reading a few posts here, I realised that I needed a newer version of Screen4 for Benny's LED tricks. Downloaded and installed, and no LED's. The standard LED's on standard screens wouldnt load, and I couldn't add any LED's to any screens. As soon as I clicked on the screen to add the LED, I got the warning!!. Everything else worked fine however, it was only LED's. I could create a screen with every other item on it, save it and reopen it with no errors. But could not add an LED.

So, I tried troubleshooting. Deleted the .xml. Nothing. Deleted Screen 4 and .txt files. Even switched Screen 4 versions. Nothing. Installed latest Mach3. Nothing.

I didn't recall that I needed to set the Mach3 location, though. So when I got back from Thanksgiving Dinner, and read your post, I checked the Mach3 location under Default in  the menu, but it was correct (D:\Mach3). After clicking OK, however, it started working. I'm guessing that was it, even though it already showed the correct location. Strange that everything else worked, though.

Edit: I do read almost all (99%) of the posts on the Yahoo group too, btw.

Thanks again,

Mach Screens / Can't add LED's

« on: November 23, 2006, 11:10:54 AM »

I'm getting an Exclamation point, but only when I try to add a LED. If I try to load a screen, the Exclamation point comes up for each LED in the file. I uninstalled Mach, and reinstalled with the latest 2.0.013? and downloaded the newest screen 4. I can create screens with no problems, unless I try to addd LED's. Is this a registry setting I need to remove or something? The error also comes up when closing Screen4 but only if I tried to add an LED.

Do NOT install the shuttle software. If you did, uninstall it. All you need is the plugin.

One way to possibly eliminate corner rounding is to use cutter comp, which gives a toolpath with radius corners while still cutting square corners on your parts. Or create your g-code with the corners radiused the same as the tool radius, which will give square corners on your parts. This works better the larger the tool is, and for outside corners only.

Right Click>Rename... Provided the format is the same and it just needs that specific file extension.
