hi tmax1,

here the code with "online update" of the DRO during Input.

Code: [Select]
Global value As String
Global DroNum  As Integer

Sub Main
'declare variables
Dim YPos As Double
Dim OldDroValue As Double
Dim YMinPos As Double
Dim YMaxPos As Double

'preset the variables
YMinPos = 1.0
YMaxPos = 50.0
DroNum  = 1201

'get the actual DRO value
OldDroValue = GetOemDro(DroNum)

'show the virtual keyboard
call NumericKeyboard(DroNum,YMinPos,YMaxPos)

'get the new DRO value
YPos = GetOEMDro(DroNum)


'check that the entered value has changed
If YPos <> OldDroValue Then
'doe the move
Code "G0Y"+CStr(YPos)
Message "driving Y to: " & YPos
End If
End Sub

there is a Little tool called "Move Mouse" as Freeware avaliable,
maybe this will avoid to go into power save mode?

Hi TPS,
Have you tried it?
Craig

no, because i think it is waste of time.

hi Craig,
maybe it is off Topic

Hi TPS,
does that include Windows 10 32 bit? Certainly any 64 bit Windows is no go for PP.

a short look lool to NFS Homepage -> mach3 -> Software requirements (https://www.machsupport.com/software/mach3/):

Requirements if using the parallel port for machine control:
Desktop PC with at least one parallel port
(Laptops are not supported)
32-bit version of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
(64-bit versions will not work)
1Ghz CPU
512MB RAM
Non-integrated Video Card with 32MB RAM
(Large G-code files, especially 3D files will require a video card with 512MB RAM or higher)


there is nothing about Win10 32Bit.
if you only remeber all this Win7 (32bit) PP + Win Update K(i can not remember the number) Trouble,
do you realy think to get a Win10 (32bit) to work with PP porper?

IMHO i do not think so, but this is only my completly insignificant personal meaning.  

i personaly get scared of all this 5V (3.3V) NPN Pull Up/Pull Down/Pull somewhere stuff.

i prefere to use stuff witch has a "touch" of industrial standard (CSMIO), 24V Inputs 24V Outputs an so on.

sorry to be "off Topic".

hi,

here is a code sample witch uses DRO for strorage (to Display).
it uses a selfmade virtual Keyboard for numeric Input via touch Screen.
all values (min max DRONum) are adjustable in top aeria.

Code: [Select]
Global value As String

Sub Main
'declare variables
Dim YPos As Double
Dim OldDroValue As Double
Dim YMinPos As Double
Dim YMaxPos As Double
Dim DroNum  As Integer

'preset the variables
YMinPos = 1.0
YMaxPos = 50.0
DroNum  = 1201

'get the actual DRO value
OldDroValue = GetOemDro(DroNum)

'show the virtual keyboard
call NumericKeyboard(DroNum,YMinPos,YMaxPos)

'get the new DRO value
YPos = GetOEMDro(DroNum)


'check that the entered value has changed
If YPos <> OldDroValue Then
'doe the move
Code "G0Y"+CStr(YPos)
Message "driving Y to: " & YPos
End If
End Sub

cant get to work at all.

10 minutes of reading are enough to figure out -> Win10 -> parallel Port -> no go
