The wx.wxFileSystem() will only allow the reading of files from any local or external address including an archive.

This should get you on the right track, DO NOT edit the ini file, using the profile will automatically create what it needs.

Code: [Select]

--Screen Load Script
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()  -- not needed if already declared
local val = mc.mcProfileGetInt(inst, 'SpindleDefaultRange','Range',0)
mc.mcSpindleSetRange(inst, val)

Code: [Select]

--Screen Unload Script
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance() -- not needed if already declared
local val = mc.mcProfileGetInt(inst, 'SpindleDefaultRange','Range',0)
mc.mcSpindleSetRange(inst, val)
All working on my machine.

Correct, thats what writing to the profile does ;-) by doing it that way it auto writes in the ini and auto loads it on startup.

have a look at using script to save the value of the dro to your profile, and then load it on startup.

Have you considered using TimGS MPG panel and adding some jog buttons to it?

I have a similar thing on my machine using the formula from one of my vids,

after updating would be helpful to put a msgbox to inform the user to restart for settings to take affect

Mach4 Toolbox / Check for Update Script

« on: July 09, 2015, 04:58:32 AM »

well 2522 was out for a while before I new about it so I did this so I could always be up to date. just put it in a button or function somewhere.

Code: [Select]

     local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();

        local file = wx.wxFileSystem():OpenFile('http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/#tabs-2')
        if not file then
            wx.wxMessageBox("Update Check is Broken") return
        end
        local data = file:GetStream()
        local text = {}
        repeat
            local c= data.C
            if data:LastRead() ~= 0  then
                if c > 0 then text[#text+1]=string.char(c) end
            end
        until data:LastRead() == 0
        local web = table.concat(text)
        local vers = string.sub(tostring(mc.mcCntlGetVersion(inst)),-4)
        if string.find (web, vers)then
        wx.wxMessageBox('Mach4 is upto date');
        else
        wx.wxMessageBox('Theres a different version of Mach4 to Download')
        end
