Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Lua success with external buttons to Mach4

Not as straight forward, now if they used the resolution of 4096 that would be too simple!! but instead here`s an extract from the manual.

you should see the value change from 0 to 1 as you turn the potentiometer. Value of 0 equals to a voltage of 0 V, while the value of 1 equals to voltage of +3.3 V on the analog input pin

One of the firsts things you need to do is a little upgrade, but first backup your old so you have a reference to your current settings

Install latest version of mach4 if not already done,
after loading mach4 use a copy of the wx4 screenset (you have the very very old wxmach loaded)
update the ESS plugin to the latesr v193 (you have v186) http://warp9td.com/index.php/kunena/7-general-discussion/5843-ess-mach4-build-193

How very odd, ive just read the pokey`s manual and the analog is a value between 0v and 3.3v so I will have to redo the table to reflect this as the value its picking up is 0 so thinking you want only 50%

Take no notice of the screenset name thats just purely a name.

which in my case is “Analog pin 42”

that is the name of the register, if you look above this then you will have the controller name too, (take a look at page 32 of the pokeys manual at 2 pics at top)

Code: [Select]

local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle(inst, string.format("NAME OF CONTROLLER", "Analog pin 42"))
I will redo the table and repost.

PS what nag do you have in the PLC??

Theres also a setting in the mach config under the tools tab that changes between m6 being tool in use or next tool to use.

First things I would check is wether you have set the polarity correct between the limit being High/Low then if no luck use the noise filter on about 1000, if this works then keep halving that amount until it happens again then up it a bit.

OOOppps TYPO ALERT

mc.mcGetInstance is a function and is missing the () at the end, so should of been mc.mcGetInstance() - although if this is in the screen load script then it is already declared at the beginning.

I also noticed I had`nt ended any of the if statements, so heres the same code without the typo`s

Code: [Select]

--------------------------------------------
----Cycle Start buttons on MachMate
--------------------------------------------
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()

SigLib = {
[mc.ISIG_INPUT1] = function (state)
    if (state == 1) then   
        mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst)
    end
end,

---------------------------------------------
----Feed Hold Buttons on MachMate
----------------------------------------------
[mc.ISIG_INPUT2] = function (state)
    if (state == 1) then   
        mc.mcCntlFeedHold(inst)
    end
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT3] = function (state)
     if (state == 1) then   
        -- do something
     end
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT4] = function (state)
    if (state == 1) then   
        -- do something
    end
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT5] = function (state)
    if (state == 1) then   
        -- do something
    end
end
} -- etc.............................

You seem to be doubling up the function, try cutting down too

Code: [Select]

--------------------------------------------
----Cycle Start buttons on MachMate
--------------------------------------------
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance

SigLib = {
[mc.ISIG_INPUT1] = function (state)
     if (state == 1) then   
        mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst)
end,

---------------------------------------------
----Feed Hold Buttons on MachMate
----------------------------------------------
[mc.ISIG_INPUT2] = function (state)
     if (state == 1) then   
        mc.mcCntlFeedHold(inst)
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT3] = function (state)
     if (state == 1) then   
        -- do something
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT4] = function (state)
     if (state == 1) then   
        -- do something
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT5] = function (state)
     if (state == 1) then   
        -- do something
end
} -- etc.............................
