VB and the development of wizards / Re: Y axis manual input
« on: January 02, 2019, 03:07:33 PM »
ok sorry for the delay,

first question no Problem, new code:
Code: [Select]
Sub Main
'declare variables
Dim YPos As String
Dim YMinPos As Double
Dim YMaxPos As Double

'preset the variables
YMinPos = 1.0
YMaxPos = 50.0

'show the input Box
YPos = AskTextQuestion("Please enter Y Position (use . not , !): ")

'check that the entered value is numeric
If IsNumeric(YPos) Then
 'check the minimal value
 If CDbl(YPos) < YMinPos Then
    MsgBox ("entered value too low !")
    Exit Sub
 End If  
 'check the maximal value
 If CDbl(YPos) > YMaxPos Then
    MsgBox ("entered value too high !")
    Exit Sub
 End If  
 
Code "G0Y"+CStr(YPos)
Message "driving Y to: " & YPos
Else
MsgBox "Vaule you entered is not numeric!"
End If
End Sub
second question:

And I have a virtual num pad that appears when the F9 key is pressed, is there a way to wmulate the F9 in a script so that the keypad comes up automatically

here i am not sure what would be the Trigger for "comming up" of the Keyboard (maybe the script, witch asks for the YPos?),
and how to trigge the Keyboard?

TPS

BTW:witch virtual Keyboard do you use? maybe i can choose a copy and test?

ok then something like this might help:

Code: [Select]
Sub Main
Dim YPos As String
YPos = AskTextQuestion("Please enter Y Position (use . not , !): ")

If IsNumeric(YPos) Then
Code "G0Y"+CStr(YPos)
Message "driving Y to: " & YPos
Else
MsgBox "Vaule you entered is not numeric!"
End If
End Sub

load a GCode file.

for example

G0X10
G0X20
G0X30
G0X30
G0X40

enable Single BLK
than you only have to hit Start for every single line

Show us your script to set the TOP left Corner,
and we will find a solution to modify for the Bottom left Corner.

i am sorry to turn the "i kwow soemthing better mode" on  ;)

but depending on your Picture "what is front",
your X and Y is swapped.

the same old rule:

Y+
 ´`
 |
 |---->X+
   ´`
    |
Point of view

and Y+ upwards.

have a look (next try):

Requests have been made to have the search function fixed and Artsoft knows about the problem.
It IS concerning that they don't even give a response.

Dear Brian,

When Artsoft does not reply on a major issue, it makes users  feel like the business is starting to forget who the customer is,
we would appreciate it, if you could just spend a minute or two with a response.

RICH

that is not "normal",

because all drawings have this orientation


 Y+
 |
 |-----X+

so you allways have to "rotate" in your head.

if the left side off your Picture is the front side of your machine,
then y is backward, and z as well.
