Mach4 General Discussion / Macro gets stuck in loop, need to restart mach4

« on: December 17, 2019, 03:46:15 PM »

Hello People,

I made some custom mcodes to run when I want the machine to drill in a panel, so I don't have to make gcodes for every panel. But when something goes wrong and I press stop the mcodes gets stuck in a loop i guess. After that I need to restart Mach4
How do I get the mcode to stop or get out of the loop when something goes wrong? if possible at all.

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

Jelle Bos

Thanks Chaoticone for the quick responses and the clear explanations. The macro can now read the dro from the register and i can monitor the value easier.

I already had three toggle buttons which I gave names in the same order as you did. Volopdek, Tussenliggend and Halfopdek.
'
I put this code in the up script from button ''volopdek'': scr.setProperty('Halfopdek','Button State','Up') scr.setProperty('Tussenliggend','Button State','Up')

This is my first time trying to change screen related items in lua, so maybe I am doing something stupid here.

Thanks for the reply. I thought of that. But my screen needs three options. This is why I can't use the toggle button, cause it only has two options.

Thanks for the reply though
