VB and the development of wizards / Log file?

« on: December 06, 2012, 11:19:53 PM »

Is it possible to output the current machine position into a log file every time a certain M code is ran?
So every time the M code is called it just adds X_ _ Y_ _ X_ _ into the log file.
I think something like this would be great for debugging some VB code.

Hi, did you guys have any luck with the VB code?
I've tried to set a button to save the offsets, so if there is power out, I can start back up and it's got the correct coords after I reference the machine.

Hi Overloaded, Thanks for that, I didn't think about the writing, I was hoping to just use the skins for G54 thru to G59.

VB and the development of wizards / DRO Skin variations

« on: September 09, 2011, 07:14:20 PM »

Hi, is it possible to use the macropump to change the skin on certain DRO's depending on which work coordinate system is being used?
So in theory if G54 is in use the DRO would be GREEN, but if G55 is in use it might be YELLOW.
It's a bit out there, I know that.

Thanks Greg, I'll give it a go.
I just remembered something else, is it possible to home X&Y at the same time?

General Mach Discussion / 2 stage homing script

« on: August 15, 2011, 04:27:16 AM »

Currently I use pretty much the standard homing routing, is it possible to home at rapid for the first cycle, then home at the normal slow speed, just to make it a lot quicker?
These are the buttons that currently run the slow homing cycle.

DoButton( 24 )'Z
DoButton( 23 )'Y
DoButton( 22 )'X

Technically, I think you are meant to use ;COMMENT otherwise if you use (COMMENT) the comment will flash in the message/error part of the program .

Hi BR549, thanks for taking a closer look, also thanks for confirming I'm not a spazz (well a total spazz anyway).
I'll try it running the other way and with G42 instead.
Thanks!

Hi Guys, sorry been away for a while.
Thanks for all the suggestions, but buggered if I can get it to work.
BR549, the values don't add up correctly due to the cut size being applied after each repetition.
Thanks anyway guys.
