Take a look at artCam, im sure if you can get a decent pic then it will trace it for you then spit out the gcode there are plenty of youtube videos on this.

Well ive tried pretty hard but cant seem to replicate the problem at all, couple of things I did notice is that you have some double entries within your ini, start mach4 then minimize you will find the error dialogs hidden behind.
v3149 is now on ftp so try that.

One thing you could try is from the ESS config/Homing tab remove all axis then just 1 by 1 add each axis doing a home sequence each time until an error occours but there does seem to be some problem with "API: mcAxisHomeComplete() called. axis 5" cant see why its not in your homing sequence.

What version of Mach4 are you using so I can create as near as possible and have you changed anything in the PLC or other scripts ?

Can you post your profile so I can recreate on my machine as my log appears totally different to yours.

Bring up the mach logging under the diagnostic menu and post the log, then hopefully we can see whats happening or not happening.

Mach4 Plugins / mcX360 Plugin for Lua
« on: August 20, 2016, 11:17:57 AM »
Heres a different kind of plugin for you using an X360 controller that populates registry values so you can write your own scripts for it, if you have the registry plugin loaded you can see the values.

I will try and get some video`s on usage as soon as possible but is straight forward, create a lua panel from the screen editor and make sure you select that its hidden and in the code add as an example

Code: [Select]
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()

local X360_PNL = mcLuaPanelParent;


    function GetXin(xinput)
    local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle(inst, string.format("mcX360_LUA/%s", xinput))
    return mc.mcRegGetValueString(hreg)
    end


X360_timer = wx.wxTimer(X360_PNL)

    X360_PNL:Connect(wx.wxEVT_TIMER,   function (event)

    if GetXin("Btn_A") == "1" then
     -- do something after button A is pressed
    end
   
    if GetXin("Btn_B") == "1" then
     -- do something after button B is pressed
    end
 
    end)

    X360_timer:Start(100)

You should get the gist ;-)

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Disable keyboard control on startup?
« on: August 09, 2016, 12:52:16 PM »
Have a look in the Screen Load Script, there is a function called "Keyboard Inputs Toggle()" this should be what you are looking.

Perhaps a little more information on the setup would help ie - type of toolchanger etc.
