Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Signal Scripts

« on: July 23, 2014, 12:26:42 AM »

Signals become very interesting when you have a real motion device behind it.  The simulator doesn't appear to implement any input signals (ISIG_*).

Now that I have moved my screen set with signal handling installed over to my Sieg X3, I start to see how things like homing scripts are simple to implement.

If you would like to save some typing and monitor your signals, add the following to the bottom of your screen signal script:

Code: [Select]

A variation on this code:

Code: [Select]

local TotalLines = mc.mcCntlGetGcodeLineCount(inst);
local GcodeCurrentLine = mc.mcCntlGetGcodeLineNbr(inst);
scr.SetProperty('droTotal', 'Value', tostring(TotalLines));
local GcodePercent = (GcodeCurrentLine/TotalLines) * 100;
scr.SetProperty('droPercent', 'Value', tostring(GcodePercent));

is to use a gauge and set the "Code" property to track the "Current G Code Line".  I then added a SigLib handler to the startup script for mx.OSIG_RUNNING_CODE to initialize the "Range" property to either the total line count of the current file if running gcode or zero.

My SigLib block looks like:

Code: [Select]

[mc.OSIG_RUNNING_GCODE] = function (state)
        local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();
        local totalGcodeLineCnt = mc.mcCntlGetGcodeLineCount(inst);
        if (state == 0) then
            scr.SetProperty('guaMySMWorkGuage','Range','0');
        else
            scr.SetProperty('guaMySMWorkGuage','Range',tostring(totalGcodeLineCnt));
        end
    end,

As the gcode runs the gauge tracks the percentage of work done automatically.

is this what your looking for?

Bingo!  Exactly what I needed.  Thanks.

Hmmm... My screen set I'm using as a vehicle for learning seems to be following yours some what.  Now if I can figure out if tool management is working and how to get the per tool data out of the table to up date my UI, I'll be happy.

« on: July 20, 2014, 12:42:50 AM »

One thing I did notice, is if you add new signal handlers to your SigLib a restart of M4 is needed to pick them up.  You can change existing signal handlers without a restart though.

I'm digging this signal handling trick. The code for updating UI elements based on signal state only has to happen when the signal is sent.  Makes the PLC script way easier to maintain. 

These are the kind of language "hacks" (meant in a really cool code way) that Lua supports that allows coders to be expressive.

Mach 4 build 1900

When trying to save a screen set I inadvertently select "Save As".  When I cancel the "Save As" and then select the proper "Save Screen" option, Mach 4 crashes to the desktop - very rude.

For those who are blind or want to see more gcode on their screen.  My first trivial contribution:

I added buttons to my G-code display on the Program Run screen to allow increasing or decreasing the font size on the fly.  This allows the number of lines to be displayed to increase or decrease. 

To the button that increases the font size I added following code to the "Left Up Script" property:

Code: [Select]

local gcode1Lines = scr.GetProperty('gcode1','Lines','Lines',0);

scr.SetProperty('gcode1','Lines',tostring(gcode1Lines-1));

To the button that decreases the font size I added:

Code: [Select]

local gcode1Lines = scr.GetProperty('gcode1','Lines','Lines',0);

scr.SetProperty('gcode1','Lines',tostring(gcode1Lines+1));

I did say it was trivial.  It is useful if you want to see more G-code.

Oops I didn't crop the files

Mach4 General Discussion / Third-Party Lua Module Support?

« on: July 19, 2014, 06:15:14 PM »

If I want to encapsulate my code for supporting a screen set or to provide general functionality, where is the best place to drop it in the installation?

Will a simple require work?  I tried doing this for the PLC code and got an error.  If we want our own module support in the PLC script where's the best place to do the import of our modules?

When setting a DRO code I noticed there is no entry for scaling.  Is scaling no longer available in Mach 4?

I've used only once or twice since building my machines.  I usually do scaling in CAD.

Steve I don't know if this has been reported yet,

When I change a property for a UI widget and click out by clicking on the screen being edited, the property value is assigned to the next UI component in the Screen Tree Manager.  If I click on another property field, it gets assigned correctly.
