VB and the development of wizards / Re: Macros, Wizards, Plugins, and Brains

Licensing, is a good quesion, and one that I can't answer.  But if it can't be seen or edited it seems it's pretty safe.  Take the example above, copy it into your system and see if there is any way you can find to see/edit it.  I couldn't.
Good luck.

Damn, I should have been able to figure that out!
Thanks once again.

When you speak of the CB Editor are you speaking of the VB Script Editor on the Operator tab?  If so, how do you get it to compile a .m1s file?  And how do you get a .mcc file to run from the MDI?
Thanks again for your help.

Issue #1
You are dealing with a double (precision number).

Hello World,
I've written some very effective macros but now the time has come to lock them down.  Is there a way to compile a macro so it can't be seen or changed?  Assuming a 'no' answer what is the simplest way of accomplishing this, a wizard, plugin, or brain?  I program in VB.Net already.
Thanks for your help.

General Mach Discussion / Need 1 more Input

« on: September 22, 2012, 08:13:48 AM »

Hello World,
I'm one input short for a project I'm working on.   Given the fact that the modern day parallel port can use pins 2 - 9 as either input or output why are the Mach inputs limited to pins 10 - 13, and 15?
Your help is appreciated, thank you.

VB and the development of wizards / Better way to stop axis movement

« on: August 10, 2012, 01:50:49 PM »

Hello World,
Is there a better way to stop axis movement than say;

Dim L As Double
Code ("G01 G53 Z-12.160")
While IsMoving()
   If IsActive(ThcDown) = True Then
      DoOEMButton(1003)
   End If
Wend
L = GetOEMDro(802)

When I use the (scripted) Stop button it curtails all other movement until I manually hit Reset,
or is there a way pragmatically to reset after calling Stop so I can do other things afterwards?

Thanks to all,

Finally hacked around enough to write a very simple batch file and put it in Startup\Programs,
this works;


echo off
cd C:\Mach3
Mach3.exe /p New-M3-W
exit

once again, thanks for all the help for me and so many others
