poppa bear and YaNvNo and secret helper plus the other boys have done a shed load of good stuff, what I think is good they don't always give answers just good pointers to the answer.

here it is it`s not quite right yet you don't see any DRO movement on screen I have tested it on a machine and it does work so use at own risk

Code: [Select]

--Laser Zero
------------------------turn output on/off------------------------------------
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();--Get the instance of the controller
local out5= mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.OSIG_OUTPUT5);--Get the out5 handle
local outstate = mc.mcSignalGetState(out5);--Output TOGGLE
   if (outstate == 1) then
       mc.mcSignalSetState(out5, false);
     else
       mc.mcSignalSetState(out5, true);
    end
wx.wxMilliSleep(10);
--------------------------Move to work zero------------------------------------

local inst = 0;
local rc = 0;
local Xmove = "X20"; --set to x offset from spindle
local Ymove = "Y30"; --set to y offset from spindle
mc.mcCntlGcodeExecute(inst, "G91 G0" .. Xmove .. " \n" .. Ymove.."\n G90 \n");--run some g-code
    wx.wxMilliSleep(10);  --this is here other wise it`s to fast to see anything on DRO`S in editor
    mcState = mc.mcCntlGetState(inst);
    while (mcState ~= mc.MC_STATE_IDLE) do --This part is so it will Zero axis`s after movement
    mcState = mc.mcCntlGetState(inst);
    wx.wxMilliSleep(10);
end
mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 0, 0.000) --zero x axis
mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 1, 0.000) --zero y axis

thanks to everyone`s help it is working now you have to in cress the wx.wxMilliSleep(10); if you wont to see it moving the DRO`S in editor, in a button you see no movement on screen but I have tested it on a machine and it works

by truck its fast as in blink I will post here for you boys to look at it and if anyone has anything to added please do. I will be adding in credit to who helped and post it to tool box at end of the week

this was suggest to try it did not work, now for some reason it does will play some more and post back. if I can get it to work I will stick it in tool box

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();
mc.mcCntlGcodeExecute(inst, "G1 X10 Y10 F50");--run some g-code
wx.wxMilliSleep(10);
mcState = mc.mcCntlGetState(inst);
while (mcState ~= mc.MC_STATE_IDLE) do
mcState = mc.mcCntlGetState(inst);
wx.wxMilliSleep(10);
end
mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 0, 0.000)
mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 1, 0.000)
mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 2, 0.000)

right have the output on off working the move works but the silly zero axis code still zero`s the axis first before the move takes places does anyone know how to make the zero axis code run last this is what I have

--Laser Zero

------------------------turn output on/off------------------------------------
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();--Get the instance of the controller
local out5= mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.OSIG_OUTPUT5);--Get the out5 handle
local outstate = mc.mcSignalGetState(out5);--Output TOGGLE
   if (outstate == 1) then
       mc.mcSignalSetState(out5, false);
     else
       mc.mcSignalSetState(out5, true);
    end

--------------------------Move to work zero------------------------------------

local inst = 0;
local rc = 0;
local Xmove = "X2";
local Ymove = "Y3";
    rc = mc.mcCntlGcodeExecute(inst, "G91 G0" .. Xmove .. "\n" .. Ymove.."\n G90 \n");
    if rc ~= mc.MERROR_NOERROR then return "GCode failed",false end

local inst = 0;
local XAxisPos = 0;
local YAxisPos = 0;
local AxisNumber = X_AXIS
local AxisNumber = Y_AXIS
 mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 0, 0.000)
 mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 1, 0.000)
   
    if (mc.mcInEditor() == 1) then
end
