Mach4 General Discussion / mcX360 Test Needed

« on: October 30, 2015, 09:21:07 AM »

Well I had to make a decision on a few things today and unfortunately I have attached the plugin today as promised, however I have removed all function to axis movement etc until I can test latest version on a live machine instead of the sim, but until I get a new ESS plugin thats not going to happen.

(Although I can say ive been joggin around happily in V2686) but thats no use to you as its been compiled with the latest SDk

So why have I posted it then??  Simple

Just need some feedback as to wether it is loading on other machines,

with the plugin loaded and mach4 started the history should show if it is active or not, this only shows on startup so if your controller is not turned on before you start mach4 it will show as inactive.
I have left a machine enable/disable on the X button and an Estop on the B button.

As this plugin is using Xinput you will need the latest directX on your machine.

As soon as I get machine running I will unlock all the functions.

Thumbsticks and Triggers are proportional.
All buttons can be configured with your own functions within mach4 lua or use internal function.

Any constructive feedback is welcomed.

For the toolchange you could use a toggle switch, on pressing the toggle switch you can use a gcodeexecutewait to move the z, then set the output signal.

on releasing the toggle it can do the reverse

as for getting the center, take a look at the probing tab too

theres actually a better example of signals in the screenload script in the latest release, if you look into signals you can do an if statement

if estop signal == 1 then
set output 1 to 0
set output 2 to 0
etc etc

Well back home to pc and loaded your config, I go with blockhead on this if you look in the log you get (Estop is asserted) pic attatched, i would start by deleting this in the mach inputs section. (second attatchment)

V2686 Used

Away at moment and can't do much with this iPad. Will look first thing in morning when back, just out of curiosity? What version of mach4 are you using as on your post at warp9 says u are using 2703?

If so change to 2686

Just upload the machine.ini from your profile as an attachment.

Is there a list of input names like cycle start, feed hold, cycle stop, emergency stop etc etc so scripts can be written to match my pokeys buttons?

Look in the API docs within the mach4hobby/docs directory and all is under signals
