FIFY (fixed it for you).

I use this:

Code: [Select]

While IsMoving()
sleep 100
Wend

I believe that if you are using v2.63 or later, you do not need the Declare sub sleep thing at the start of the macro.  Otherwise, it's:

Code: [Select]

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "Kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

".set" files are Screen4 files.  You're interested in the code, i assume.  To see the code, run the wizard in Mach (not Screen4).  When the wizard is open, [pull-down] Operator>Edit button Script.  Then click the button that says "create and load g-code file".  The code will pop up in the 'script editor'.

VB and the development of wizards / openteachfile name

« on: August 27, 2008, 09:57:47 AM »

Is it possible to have Mach prompt the user for the file name to save 'openteachfile' as?  I know, i know... it can be set to 'temp' or whatever you want, and the user can rename it after the file is created, but I forget to do that quite often.  Anyway, thats a crappy workaround and I'd like to nip it in the bud and name it from the start.

General Mach Discussion / Re: m3 not always recognized

« on: August 14, 2008, 04:27:10 PM »

So did anything ever get straightened out with this problem?  I've been having it for a month now (at least)... M3 not being recognized in MDI or during gcode.  I'm using v2.63. 

-Nick

addendum- I just noticed that during a gcode routine, Mach had ran through a bunch of macros, then when it got to the M3 (the first one of the routine BTW), Mach quit running the code.  Also, after that point, NO macros would run, OEM or custom.

Hi Scott,

Here are the ones that used to be on the forum.  They're pretty useless, but my point was to show that there are many unconventional things that one could do.

Another dumb example. Pretty much the same as the other one.
