have you had a look what happens to screen button`s when not enabled to enabled there is a differences non screen buttons have a different behavior. how can it be pre put in everyone will set up external buttons a different way

its this bit here from screen load whats x,y,z,a
function AxisEnable()
    local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();
    local ena
    ena = IsAxisEnabled(0);
    scr.SetProperty('xPos', 'Enabled', ena);
    scr.SetProperty('xNeg', 'Enabled', ena);
    scr.SetProperty('btnZeroX', 'Enabled', tostring(ena));
    scr.SetProperty('btnZeroX2', 'Enabled', tostring(ena));
    scr.SetProperty('btnRefX', 'Enabled', tostring(ena));

and there a chunk in the PLC that stop screen buttons working under certain states yes that should be locked away but you would have to get someone to put them in if you had more than x, y, z, a and different screen buttons other wise there would have to be a lot of basic screens to cover all requirements.

I may be wrong.

changing the scripts whats there now makes them work when you don't wont them to or not work when needed I played with them and had to reinstall so they should have a note with them don't touch

it all works as it is with no run away axis`s when you have not got any external control over screen buttons add in external control as people have found and bad things happen, that's why I think there needs to be stuff added to stop it happening

I agree that developer participation is sorely needed here.
It often appears that the developers have no idea of what gets posted here.
Brian does answer questions on the Yahoo group, but almost all Mach4 activity is here.

The developers aren't doing anything to inspire confidence in those hoping for the Mach4 that we've been waiting years for.

your a mod ger have a word with them, poppabear cant do it all

I had problem`s getting the bit above 4.4 to work some of the stuff in the manual does not work or the editing is out

this is whats mean to be in the button

regval = GetRegister("Test1")
wx.wxMessageBox(regval)

and this is the bit that goes in the screen load script

function GetRegister(regname)
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle(inst, string.format("iRegs0/%s", regname))
return mc.mcRegGetValueString(hreg)
end

what you are trying is what comes after whats above that needs to go in first then when you write to then you use the button to read what you sent its the value of (regval = GetRegister("Test1") value of Test1, puts out wx.wxMessageBox(regval) the value of it.

I think that correct if wrong popabear will say
