Mach4 General Discussion / Re: wx.widgets example minimal will not close

It must be getting called from somewhere?? copy and paste your lua script into a txt editor and do a search for minimal.

I would prob go down the lines of not starting the minimal wizard when mach4 starts and then try other wizards, if you have changed anything in the minimal that is causeing the lua plugin to crash then nothing else will run correctly.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: lua script require() question

The require function is to load modules, take a look in the Screen Load Script and see how its being used there.

The signalwait command has a timeout setting mc.mcSignalWait(number mInst, number sigId, number waitMode, number timeoutSecs)

I think the way I would go is to lengthen the timeout and then put the rest of the macro in an if statement, if sig ==1 then continue...................

Have you tried increasing the timeout value

In formbuilder highlight your button and then go into the events tab top right and enter something in say mouse left up and this will put something on the screen like

Code: [Select]

YourButtonName:Connect( wx.wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN, function(event)
--implements your function here

event:Skip()
end )

Simply put you cant, hence the name "FormBuilder" wxLua is not built into it,  personally myself I tend to make what I require and copy the code into a file using notepad++ - add all functions etc.
If I make any changes to the wxFormBuilder project then I do a compare so I can copy and paste any changes.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: The Reason why Mach4 loses Machine Coordinates at start the Mach4 system

« on: April 01, 2017, 04:58:25 PM »

I dont think mach4 loses them, more like when starting up it doesnt know where it is until homed.

Something you can try though is create a button and as a test put

Code: [Select]

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
mc.mcMotorSetHomePos(inst, 0, 175 * mc.mcProfileGetDouble(inst, 'Motor0','CountsPerUnit',0)) --X
jog x to 175 and shut down mach4 and restart, press button you should find your machine coords now at 175, however I cannot tell you how this will look on your system with say softlimits or offsets but worth atry.

Put the code in the wizards directory with the extension .mcs 
one thing missing from wxFormbuilder is it doesnt put the Show function at bottom of file so a simple frame should look like this

Code: [Select]

UI = {}

UI.MyFrame1 = wx.wxFrame (wx.NULL, wx.wxID_ANY, "", wx.wxDefaultPosition, wx.wxSize( 500,300 ), wx.wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE+wx.wxTAB_TRAVERSAL )
UI.MyFrame1:SetSizeHints( wx.wxDefaultSize, wx.wxDefaultSize )


UI.MyFrame1:Centre( wx.wxBOTH )

UI.MyFrame1:Show() -- Missing from wxFormBuilder

You should now be able to open this from the wizards dialog.
