VB and the development of wizards / IsMoving

« on: January 21, 2014, 08:57:35 AM »

not sure i understand IsMoving. doesn't that mean when
ANY axis is moving ? i'm trying to get a ticker going and
the below only does the Else, not the If  hope that explains it.
i want the ticker to say something while the machine is motionless
and not say anything while any axis is moving.
Thanks


If IsMoving() Then
SetTicker(1 , "  Moving  ")
Sleep 2000
Else
SetTicker(1 , "       Raven Research")
Sleep 2000
End If

got macropump to work. it hesitates starting and stopping.
but i guess that would be my computer slowing the macropump.
THANKS Alex !

thank Alex,
using the macropump, the waits a couple of seconds
before lighting. i know the pump runs fast. are the leds
waiting for the pump to cycle ? and a while back, they helped
me get it working as a separate macro.

goes to Get....

Brains Development / Pause Timer DRO

« on: November 27, 2013, 07:20:31 AM »

hi, is there a way to pause the run time DRO(814)? so if I pause the g-code, the clock
pauses as well. so I can get a better time length on a file.

also, I have movement LEDs for xyz. but they are slow to respond.
where do I save scripts so mach3 see em?
Thanks
