I cant see anywhere in your code where you have actually turned the spindle on??

try   

Code: [Select]

mc.mcSpindleSetCommandRPM(inst, 1 )
mc.mcSignalSetState (mc.mcSignalGetHandle (inst, mc.OSIG_SPINDLEON),1)
mc.mcSpindleSetDirection(inst, mc.MC_SPINDLE_FWD);

Finally got it.  The return data type is a number, which is why 1 didn't equal 1.

Best place to look is in the api docs thats in the docs directory, all commands are there and tell if you need int or string

Can you elaborate a bit as to what is your gcode is passing as the args?

M62 is not yet implemented in the Mach4 Plugin.

Just tried using the sim and worked fine using had to add a number as I dont have the dro, try putting a messagebox below it to see what is getting passed to the gcode

Code: [Select]

function m101()
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- GoTo Safe Z
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
    mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, 'Move to SafeZ')
    local SafeZ = 5 --scr.GetProperty('droSafeZ', 'Value')
    local CodeLine1 = 'G00 Z' .. SafeZ
    mc.mcCntlGcodeExecute(inst, CodeLine1)
    --mc.mcCntlMdiExecute(inst, CodeLine1)
    --mc.mcCntlGcodeExecuteWait(inst, CodeLine1)
end

if (mc.mcInEditor() == 1) then
 m101()
end

Not time for a video but try this..

from the screen editor

1. Add a lua panel and set the size the same as the image you want + 10 on both height and width
2. Add into the script part

Code: [Select]

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
    panel = mcLuaPanelParent -- get the panels parent id
    local window = panel:GetParent() -- get the panels id
    local BGround = panel:GetBackgroundColour() -- get the screen background colour
    window:SetBackgroundColour(BGround) -- set to background of top window
    window:SetWindowStyleFlag(wx.wxBORDER_NONE) -- remove border
    window:ClearBackground() -- clear background
    window:Refresh() -- refresh to apply changes

local my_image = "C:\\DTG_Mach4Hobby\\Profiles\\ESS_Motion_V2\\Screen\\Buttons\\24v_dwn.png" -- bitmap to load

wx.wxStaticBitmap( window, wx.wxID_ANY, wx.wxBitmap( my_image , wx.wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY ), wx.wxDefaultPosition, wx.wxDefaultSize, 0 ) -- create the bitmap container

window:Layout() -- redraw the new panel
This will create a bitmap that will not resize with the screen, the panel itself will but not the image.

I really cant see the point when it can be done as you go with the button? but anyway you could use the registry plugin and save the states to registry values.

Delete the ones with the extension MCC and delete the mcLUA.MCC
