Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Displaying specific data from Machine.ini onto Mach4 Screen

« on: February 11, 2017, 03:22:32 PM »

You will find the label object in the screen editor.

Depending if you want the output updated or not to where you put the code, if you just want to display what has been loaded from the machine.ini then this would go in the screen load script, if you want the label to update during the session then this would go into the plc script.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Displaying specific data from Machine.ini onto Mach4 Screen

If you look in the docs directory at the api docs there is a section called profile which does what you need.

IE for CVMode would be  cvMode = mc.mcProfileGetString(inst, 'CVFeedrate', 'CVMode', 'G64') last param being default if not already in machine.ini

To write this too, lets say a label called lblCVMode then you can use scr.SetProperty('lblCVMode', 'Label', cvMode)

Hope this helps

I think instead of finding a work around, the reason why it cant come out of a debug session should be found, I have never know this problem yet and adding wxExit could be problem for you down the line.

Ok all sorted, they now work in percentage from 0 to 100%

Code: [Select]

local mInst = mc.mcGetInstance()

function SetXin(xinput, speed) -- 0 - 100%
    local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle(mInst, string.format("mcX360_LUA/%s", xinput))
    mc.mcRegSetValueLong(hreg, speed)
end

SetXin("LRumble", 100)

Well I have run both bits of code you posted and both ran fine, out of curiosity you might want to check to see if any firewall of any kind is blocking the editor from connecting to the mach4 core.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach 4 some bugs - Help me.

« on: February 03, 2017, 11:22:00 AM »

Ok the answers to 1 and 3.

1. On the jogging tab you will see a button that says "Keyboard Inputs Enable" this needs to be green which will remove the red cross from the icon in the taskbar.
3. Open up mach4mill using the wx4 screenset,  then Operator->Edit Screen look under main tabs in the tree and highlight tabDiag and right click on it, you should find an export. export this then load your profile and do exactly the same but this time import it and you should then have Diagnostic tab.
