Hi Guys,

as long we dont know, what picoworm is trying to do,
it's only a look into the "cristal ball".
my "cristal ball" is out of order, because the lamp is
broken, and nobody is around to change the lamp.

Regards Thomas

You usually don't need to convert to a string to put something in a messagebox.

you are right with the example above.

but only in this case:
Test = 1234.5
MsgBox Test

not in this case:
Test = 1234.5
MsgBox "Test = " + CStr(Test)

An Arduino and grbl is not in the same league as Mach3 and the others I mentioned. Not even close.

Gerry you are a 100% right, but
striplar was only asking: "All I need is for it to execute G1 F# S# and M03, that's all I use"

that was the trigger for grbl and Arduino.

Hi,

cstr converts numbers to string, because msgbox can only display string.
look here: http://www.machsupport.com/help-learning/product-manuals/

There's a big gap in the market for someone to produce a nice simple Windows based system without all the junk and clutter of the Mach3 bloatware.

hope you are putting the value into MSGbox like this:

MsgBox cstr(ZProbePos)

should work. i do it in the same way.
