I compiled the module into mcc.
I can not figure out what to do if the key is not checked ...

Thank you, DazTheGas.
mcCntlGetComputerID is in Mach4CoreAPI, I did not read well   
Made reading the file Mach4Lic.dat, but I will use mcCntlGetComputerID

Code: [Select]

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
local Mach4Lic = io.open("C:\\Mach4Hobby\\Licenses\\Mach4Lic.dat","r")
if not Mach4Lic then
    wx.wxMessageBox("Fail open Mach4Lic.dat!")
else
    local a = Mach4Lic:seek("set", 329)
    local b = Mach4Lic:read (10)
    Mach4Lic:close()
    local c = 'AAEAAAzPf9'
    if b ~= c then
        wx.wxMessageBox("Fail licensed module!")
    end
endThe problem is using a license check. If you put the script in "Screen Load Script" then it can be removed from there.
If you use the password (Operator - Lock), then it can be reset to "Machine.ini".
If you put the script in the module, then what is it to bind to? "Enable" button? Then you can go into "Edit Screen" and remove the function call in the module ...

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 PCID to get for LUA.

Hi,
Can I get a PCID for LUA?
I want my module to be used only on a specific copy of Mach4.
How is this best done?

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 - Laser cutting machine & "FlyCut"

« on: November 23, 2017, 05:21:06 AM »

Hello to the whole forum!
Use Mach4 on the laser cutting machine. Want to cut the metal "FluCut" method.
Here's the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDlE9u3H_iU
but I can't.
The picture shows a test GCode.
M3 - lowered the torch and turned on the laser.
M5 - turn off the light and raise the cutter.
M203 - includes only the laser cutter remains in the gap.
M205 - turns off only the laser cutter remains in the gap.
From the code M3 to M203 cutter moves smoothly, without jerks. Starting with the code M203 further, the cutter begins to stop completely. I use high acceleration and speed of the motors, the machine starts to twitch.
Is it possible to get Mach4 to cut through the metal as in the video above??

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Lines in the tool path window

what screenset are you using?

Its development. In the screen editor, the Tool Path Display for all screens are the same.

There are 29 API calls to do with the toolpath.

Google translate poorly translates the text of the message. What of "API toolpath" , where about it to read?

your PCs graphics

Mach3 shows thick lines ... Mach 4 is not.

My feeling is that your background colours are too dark

The problem is not in color, but in the thickness of the lines. On a PC with a video card it is easy to see when using any colors, on a PC without a video card, the lines are very thin and they are difficult to see at any color, and if the machine receives sunlight, you can not see at all.

I have laser cutting machines. The cut line is one, not much like yours. Plus they are thin, compare the lines of the axes of the XYZ with my window. On the first page of the topic, I posted a photo of the monitor from the phone, and not PrintScreen, for clarity.

joeaverage,
Light blue in the sun is not visible at all.

Hi,
joeaverage
If you use a screen with blue color where the sun is, then you see worse than gray. If there is a way to make the lines on the screen thicker, then I will return the initial color settings.

Steve Stallings,
Window 10 tells me that there is no update. Mach3 on this screen draws the correct lines, I think that the error is not in the driver.

1 - video card
2 - integrated Video Card
It is better to look at the bottom left edge (X, Y, Z axis).
