Also, is there any documentation on the mc. and wx. namespace functions other than just finding existing samples?

Mach4 General Discussion / mcTouchOff Dialog

« on: August 12, 2018, 12:40:06 PM »

I am modifying the TouchOff functions to work with any of the many corner finders available on the market.  I have modified the functions to do this, but I need to be able to modify the dialog box to collect 2 additional offset values (X and Y) in the setup.  Is there any way to do this, or do I have to create a new tab on the screen and write my own?

My intention was to submit these changes it to ArtSoft for inclusion in a future release.

I see this still hasn't been fixed in the latest version of MACH4.  Anyway to get Artsoft's attention on this?

Hi,
I hope there are better examples than the last link:

For parts or not working

“sold as is. does not power on. no further testing done. unit only, no ac adapter or anything else. ”

Where did you see that?  Right in the middle of the post, "Dell Inspiron 3050 model D12U. Unit is barely used and in perfect working order and has been reset to Dell factory default."  I ended up making him an offer and buying it for a spare MACH4 PC.

A used Dell Inspiron 3050 works great.  It is tiny and you can cheaply upgrade it to 8gb of ram and a 256Gb SSD for a total price under $200.  It measures 5" x 5" x 2", and has built in WiFi.  Here is an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123272194586

Following, although from the looks of it, I don't suspect an answer is coming.

Yep. The misting system does a great job of keeping dust at bay and let it simply run down the top of the material into my waiting paper towels (and soon collection tray).

This has nothing to do with the screen editor.  To reproduce the problem:

1.  Go to Configure|Mach, General Tab.  Set Machine Setup Units to Metric, and Units Mode to Metric.  Save and exit Mach 4.
2.  Load Mach4, Enable, set Button Jog Mode to Incremental, and Incremental Jog Step to 1.0000.  Test jog any direction and you will notice it goes 1mm for every button press.
3.  Disable
4.  Go to Configure|Mach, Motors Tab.  Select any motor and change any setting and save.
5.  Enable and test jog any direction and you will notice it goes 25.4mm instead of 1mm for every button press.  G21 is always set once you change the Units Mode and Machine Setup to Metric.
