Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Zero Brane not working properly.
« on: March 27, 2018, 11:36:45 AM »
Hey Brett,
I have it correct in the Macro.  I just typed it wrong on this post.
I'm not sure why it isn't working. 
I Opened up the stock mill profile and still no luck.  Again, I could run the macro from MDI but it wouldn't debug and make Mach do something. 
It debugs like it should; I put some arithmetic in the macro to test the debugger, it did everything correctly.  Still didn't do anything in Mach4.

Mach4 General Discussion / A Aixs Brake
« on: March 27, 2018, 10:55:29 AM »
We use the 4th axis on our VMCs to run our product and we use the pneumatic brake whenever we are machining finishing passes.

We have 3 other types of controllers here in the shop; Fanuc, GSK, and Haas.  All of these controllers apply the brake when the A axis is not moving.  

I never work with the Axis or Jog controls from the API so I don't know if this is a possibility to do in LUA, is it possible to code this in Mach4?

Mach4 General Discussion / Zero Brane not working properly.
« on: March 27, 2018, 10:42:49 AM »
I'm running Build 3713.
I'm trying to debug some macros but it isn't doing anything in Mach4. 

For example; I made a simple mc.mccntlSetLastError (inst, "Message") test macro.

I debug this and it doesn't display.  I run the macro from MDI and it runs fine.

I have this macro set up exactly as it usually is, with the Debug stuff at the end of the macro.

Is there anything that needs to be done to set this up?

Daz,
You did do a video on this subject. Way back in December of 2015.

Awesome! 
I tried this exact thing the other day only I didn't close Mach4 to see if it saved it then; I just moved on to something else.
Shouldn't have given up so easily.
Thanks for the tip!  This can come in handy!

I was curious about doing this the other day.
Daz,
I just tried this.  I had to close out of Mach4 so the "KeyTest" button I made in the keyboard plugin would populate into the Inputs Configuration Drop Down.
Is that normal?

It does work though! So cool!
Be sure to have your Keyboard Inputs Enabled.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: MDI Tab missing
« on: March 22, 2018, 11:17:03 AM »
Are you sure it's missing?
It is in the same spot the G Code is displayed.  You will see the "G Code" tab and the "MDI" tab there.

That was going to be my next suggestion.
Craig, you mentioned you had this type of fault before.  Was it with the WorkZero Function, or the Probe?

cv580,
I had some issues when I first used the TouchOffset Module.
I wonder if something is up with this code as well.  Is this code working back to back?

cv580,
What are you doing to move to work zero?  The button on the main screen under the Position Dros?
