First of all, the slash (/) has to be in this direction or you get a syntax error.

The code I posted is 100% correct way of doing it and they want to be last 2 lines of the screenload script.

I will check again when near machine.

Heres a snippet from one of my panels if it helps

Code: [Select]

DTG = {}
DTG.panel = nil

        DTG.panel = mcLuaPanelParent;
local window = DTG.panel:GetParent();
window:SetBackgroundColour(wx.wxColour(153,180,209));
window:Refresh();
local wsize = window:GetSize();
DTG.panel:SetSize(wsize);

You cannot access the mcLuaPanelParent from a debug session its impossible as the panel parent is the main gui, the main gui is disabled whilst in the editor.

You seem to be missing an "=" after the local FeedLeftLED

Code: [Select]

local FeedLeftLED = scr.GetProperty("FeedLeftLED", "Value")
    if (FeedLeftLED == "1") then
            scr.SetProperty("FeedLeftLED", "Value", "0")
        else
            scr.SetProperty("FeedLeftLED", "Value", "1")
    end

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: MPG mode Always On

« on: March 16, 2016, 03:08:34 AM »

I have no way of testing as no pokeys but try a combination of using OSIG_JOG_ENABLED or OSIG_JOG_MPG with mcCntlIsInCycle,

so basically disable the mpg or jogging whilst in a cycle

Theres always a way :-)

You will need to use 2 commands here within the screen load script.

From the screen editor you will need to edit the bottom of the screen load script with  mc.mcCntlLoadGcodeFile(inst, stringFileToLoad) first then create the toolpath with  mc.mcToolPathGenerate(inst)

Example with roadrunner.

Code: [Select]

    mc.mcCntlLoadGcodeFile(inst, "C:\\Mach4Hobby\\GcodeFiles\\roadrunner.tap")
    mc.mcToolPathGenerate(inst)
Hope this helps

DAZ they are very interesting boards to use but the ESS is close to being as good
