Mach4 General Discussion / External button "Enable"

« on: May 24, 2021, 12:49:20 AM »

i add an external button to enable mach4 after pc turn on

[mc.ISIG_INPUT0] = function (state)--external button on
   if( state == 1) then              
                      
      local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
       mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, "but enable ");   
       mc.mcCntlEnable(inst,1)
           local Zbrake = mc.OSIG_OUTPUT9 
       local hsig1 = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(0, Zbrake)  ------servo on
        mc.mcSignalSetState(hsig1, 1)
        mc.mcCntlSetLastError(0, "servo on");
       local zb= mc.OSIG_OUTPUT1
       local zb11 = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(0, zb)  ------z brake
        mc.mcSignalSetState(zb11, 1)   
   end
end ,

i use the attach  even handler (quit simple i think)
but strange behaviour
1. if i try first time by button  mach4 crash
2. if i enable from mach interface first time ,then disable ,then by button work good
     even many times ,disable enable....ets its ok ,but s mention first time must be from mach, why?
thanks

Ill explain my self batter
I want use absolute encoder
When i turn on mach ,or even press star ,each time i check the value from encoder, cheack if its same as shuld be and run
So all yours suggest with shift not available
Why can't use the api as its wrote in manual?

Now im far from computer but at night ill send you what i did,and its work fine, only that bug i told you,so if motor in reverse need change on driver

Sure
I define "home in place"
Then i made script that read the encoder value and put it in home offset
Then i make event that this script rise
In panel load i get the event and each time its rise( mean lua update the position) its make "all home reference"
Its sound crazy but this only way its work
But there bug
If one of the motor cofig as reverse,then some times value can be minus some times plus randomly without any rules
Thks

Its can't done by G because its should be something not done by user
I already find away( very complex but...)but there api that should do this ,but its not work,so i think maybe some one from mach can see and tell why its not work
