You need to do the change withing Mach4

Go to Operator then Edit Screen
Click on the top thing under Screen Tree Manager
Under Properties click the center icon (Events)
Next to Screen Load Script (right side) click on the box then the button with 3 dots
This will pull up the ZeroBrane editor
Comment out what you need to and save it.
Go to Screen then click Save Screen
Go to Operator and deselect Edit Screen

When I am doing things with the Mach I make a copy of the folder before I change anything.
Then when I mess up I just delete the Mach4 folder and rename the copy.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Different use for Mach4

Craig,

It did take some interesting code to get it working.
Nothing hard just different.
I had a good time.
We use the PMDX-126 and an ESS.
Andy at Warp 9 did some special code on his plugin to help me out.

Mach4 General Discussion / Different use for Mach4

« on: December 22, 2022, 12:41:05 PM »

We make some bending machines as well as cnc routers for the sign industry.
We use Mach4 to run all the machines.
If you scroll down on the page the link takes you to you will see a video for one of the machines.
Definitely different and I thought some might like to see a different use for Mach4.

TimmyJ,

The programming is not as bad as it first appears.
I am not a programmer either and it took me a while to understand.
I made this to help other non programmers.
it should give you a good starting point.

Craig,

I have no idea until I start playing with it exactly how I will do it or if I can do it.
I am swamped until the start of the year but wanted to start thinking about it.
Just wanted something easier for my customers to use.
Thanks to you I have someplace to start.
Thanks.
If I get something I will post it on here.

I would like to see how this is done also.
I can not use the probe to set my tools in Manual Tool Change either.
