Mach4 General Discussion / coding help

« on: September 28, 2018, 10:05:03 AM »

Ok i am finally back to working on the Mach4.
I am having a problem with what i thought was a simple code.
I do not want to use the sliders for speed adjustments so i made a button to increase and one to decrease the FRO.
When i click the button the DRO flicks the change then immediately back to what it started at.
Here is the code.

local val = scr.GetProperty('droCutSpeed', 'Value');
val = tonumber(val) + 10;
local maxval = 300
if (tonumber(val) >= tonumber(maxval)) then
 val = maxval;
end
scr.SetProperty('droCutSpeed', 'Value', tostring(val));

I am sure it is something simple i am missing but I have no idea what.
Thanks,
Bill

General Mach Discussion / z plunging while using tangential knife

« on: June 02, 2016, 03:10:54 PM »

Ok I am still using Mach3 Rev 3.042.020
i have used this for some tangential knives in the past and had no problems.
this machine also has an atc on it
just made a simple square.
knife turns correctly for the cuts like normal.
gets to a corner, lifts, rotates, plunges to depth
then as the line is being cut the z also starts plunging
gets to the next corner
lifts, rotates, etc
it is random
sometimes after first rotation, sometimes after second or third
