Works in progress / Re: My Simple Screen for Touch

Greg,
Great screen, simple and to the point. I really like the idea of icons and vibrant colors.
This will work well on small touch screens.
Look forward to seeing the .set file

Mach Screens / Re: Two State Buttons?

« on: June 11, 2007, 12:04:56 AM »

Greg,

I dont think that there is any otherway to get the "Feedhold" call from Mach till Art reactivates those.
Hopfully in the next update those LED's will be active again.

Mach Screens / Re: Two State Buttons?

« on: June 10, 2007, 10:06:04 PM »

Greg,

Mach needs an image there for the button to work correctly.

If you notice in "Simple screen" that the LED intermittently works, that is because I had no image for the buttons.

The work around is to load a transparent image.

You can create your own or use the one provide below.
Just drop that in you bitmap folder and load it for your invisible buttons that are over the "LED buttons".

Mach needs something for a place holder for them to work, that is why you have to use a"clear" image over the LED.

Also check that the button is ontop of the LED in Screen 4

Wes,
Thanks for the explanation,
"cleans the bottom of a blind hole" I can see how that can be very important.

Wes,
Cool thanks,
Just wondering what would be the usages to dwell in milliseconds?
What kind of operations use such fine tuning? Just wondering?

Mach Screens / Re: DoButton syntax

« on: June 04, 2007, 02:31:07 PM »

Check the Wiki is has the total list you just grab the OEM number, but here is a list that I have aready, sorry about all the code inbetween, I'm to lazy to remove i and just have the button code  but if you look at the list you'll see the name of the function and the DOOEMButton(*********)
Remeber there is two ways of doing buttons DoOEMButton or DOButton so if the number you found in the wikki isn't working than try the other sntax to call on a button.

I'd do your robot with a Flash screen, there is alot more you can do...let me know if you need any help.
