VB and the development of wizards / Re: How to run a script after each Gcode in single step mode

Thanks for the replies.

I would understand this instead:

G1 X1.000 Y1.000 F50      % No punch
M25
X2.000 Y2.000                   % PUNCH
X3.000 Y3.000                   % PUNCH
M22
X0.000 Y0.000                   % No punch

Regarding the macropump use it really wouldn't actually do motion control or press move with g.code, it will only send a signal to indicate it is time for a punch, and wait for an input signal to acknowledge its completion and then continue with the program.

Is there a way to catch a Gcode the same way M1030 does with M30??

VB and the development of wizards / How to run a script after each Gcode in single step mode

Hi!
As title states I am trying to make Mach3 run a script after completing a G0 movement in single step mode.

The application is a turret press punch, I would like to have Mach3 run a punch macro each time it completes a G00 code. Then resume with the next G00 code after completion.  My idea right now is to use single step mode, and somehow resume with a "Start" from within the macro.

Another thought is to detect movement completion from within the macropump. But not really sure how and which would be the implications when jogging or others.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi all!
Zealous (or anyone), could you write a "how to make leds blink for dummies" post.  I really don't get it probably because of lack of knowledge about graphic formats and layers.  I know leds should to been in "green flashing" operation, but don't understand how it altenates the different colors images of the same button.

Great work! Will you realease a newer version soon!?

P.S.: Hey ardor, your not the only one with alien interference. I've got the same problem in my home and office computers.   Where can I find the latest tin foil hat model? Can I buy it online?
