Brains Development / Re: Terminate a brain with "run macro M650.m1s" ???????

« on: March 27, 2013, 06:47:59 AM »

so i HAVE to have a file named macropump and everything in it will run ?
could i have left the name KENNETH_macropump ? and do ALL
the files in userprofile folder run all the time or some do and others are
connected to buttons. trying to understand macropump. is it just
the file name ? is the m1s extension pump related ?

shut down mach3 and machscreen. opened macropump
and checked everything. i did have the dros off by one number.
(don't know why that matters) opened mach3 and poof....
working. they blink if i jog a few seconds but think it's just because
of the loop. THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did that(twice...while giggling)
when i open mach3, Y leds is lit. if i move it
with arror keys. it goes off(0) but if i move Z,
y dro changes. i check the set file and they are different.
yes Pump is clicked in general

oemdro = x 800
y = 801
z = 802

userdr = 2001 - 2002  -  2003
(changed em to stop using 2000)

p.s. i renamed the file from KENNETH_Macropump.m1s
to Macropump.m1s.

i copied the file to c:\mach3\macro\userprofile
looked at my set file to see if the LEDS and DROs
were set the same(they are). i'm missing somethinbg else
as this doesn't do anything but change the LED once and
doesn't change the userdro to the same as oemdro.

will delete the dros after i get this straight

the file i'm using is in that folder and i don't
have a file named macropump.m1s in there.
and i did try this before, it just changed the leds once
bunch of m##.m1s
thanks

p.s. if i don't have the DROs in the set file, will it work ?

thanks, think that's my problem. i'm not using a pump, brain OR button
was just writing script and think it would run. i was thinking a script WAS a
pump. so how do i write one of these pump things ?
Thanks again Brett and Russ

trying 3 single scripts for each axis.
no worky

?_MovingLED = 112?

Curr?Pos = GetOEMDRO(800)
X = XY or Z

If CurrXPos = IsActive(800) Then
   SetUserLED(?_MovingLED,1)
 Else
   SetUserLED(?_MovingLED,0)
 End If 

just so ya'll know what i'm doing.
open mach3, menu Operator\VB Script Editor.
then running script from there.
