Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Lua file operations

« on: March 24, 2018, 10:24:23 AM »

Just correct

Code: [Select]

inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
local profile = mc.mcProfileGetName(inst)
local path = mc.mcCntlGetMachDir(inst)

local stuff="--one,two,three"

local filetoget=path .. "\\testfile.csv"

io.output(io.open(filetoget,"a+"))

io.write(stuff)
io.close()

* local not requied, but recommended, instead global variable created

Any information, how I can configure line width on toolpath object? My problem - line too thin and mostly invisible even white on black.

There is dialog window on Mach4 close, which ask confirmation. All great, but one person check option "Do not notify again". How I can reset this option?

I also simple edit XML file in *.set archive. And all if fine. I think this feature has not demand. Main problem - in standard sets there is binding to tab number )

This is very strange. I use script

Code: [Select]

function m101()
    if not ew.isMachineInSpotMode() then
        ew.onIncorrectCommand()
        return
    end
    ew.sigVars['tbToUp'] = 1
    repeat
        wx.wxMilliSleep(100)
    until (ew.sigVars['tbIsUp'] == 1) or not ew.isWorking()
end

if (mc.mcInEditor() == 1) then
    m101()
end
This script turn on table up valve and wait upper position responce. And it work! No freeze UI and it realy wait table upper position or machine stopped. If I disconnect position switch it wait infinitely, and UI responce OK.

yes there are two Lua chunks at runtime, of course only one can run at a time.

- why only one at a time? Does this mean that M command execution freeze PLC script? As I assume this two interpreters run in separate threads, one - for UI and PLC staff, other - machine interpreter (MDI or File).
