General Mach Discussion / Re: HOTKEY TO OUTPUT RELAY

« on: October 15, 2015, 08:58:56 AM »

Hello DAS,

as far i know, it is not possible to switch a output only while the key is pressed.

the macro is only trigged once when the key is pressed, not when the key ist released.
for the moment i know no way to realise this.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Fundamental issue with the Tangential Knife Cutting option

« on: October 15, 2015, 07:36:38 AM »

Hi Mark,

attached a small excelfile, try it not tested in all conditions.

m = (YEnd-YStart) / (XEnd-XStart)
q = YStart - m * XStart

XPre  =  XStart + 10
YPre =  m * XPre + q

Hi Das,

put this little script into the button


'GetOEMLed(77) -> Output4
'GetOEMLed(78) -> Output5
'GetOEMLed(79) -> Output6

If GetOEMLed(79) Then
   DeActivateSignal(Output6)
Else
   ActivateSignal(Output6)
End If


but dont forget to activate the output in port's & pin's

Hi Mark,

i know tangential cutting from cutting glas.

i allway did a smal move "in the air" to get the wheel orientated
like this:

G0 X110  Y110     -     move to preposition
G1 X100  Y100     -     move to position to get knife orientated
G1 Z1                  -     plunge knife
G1 X10  Y10         -     Cut to end position
