Have you used the Package Profile from the Help menu in mach4?
From your working mach4 go into the Help menu and locate Package Profile then exit. from your new installation run Mach4GUI.exe and then Import the profile that you packaged.

Just create your m7 or m8 macro and within this just turn your signal on then back off, if its too quick then just add a wxSleep after the signal on.

You should only copy the .MCS files to the directory then mach4 will then recompile them.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Coroutine question/problem

« on: September 16, 2021, 03:13:53 AM »

Have you remembered to resume the coroutine within the PLC IE:

Code: [Select]

if (SafeZ ~= nil)  then
    local state = coroutine.status(SafeZ)
    if state == 'suspended' then
        coroutine.resume(SafeZ)
    end
end
perhaps this might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2xQYvAXT8o

You could use

Code: [Select]

scr.ButtonClick(ctrlName)
scr.ButtonDown(ctrlName)
scr.ButtonUp(ctrlName)

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: External button scripts in Mach4

« on: September 14, 2021, 07:51:53 AM »

If you are just wanting the external button to do what the screen button does then all you need to do is add the script from the screen button to the siglib IE:

Code: [Select]

[mc.ISIG_INPUT5] = function (state)
if (state == 1) then   
wait = coroutine.create (RefAllHome)
    end

end,
But remember you must add some more code to check that the controller is in a state that will allow you to home too
