oppps that is a mistake on the toolpath code that is the old one:

Code: [Select]

//Toolpathscreen 1/////
fscommand("Tool1", "Show");
fscommand("Tool1X", "100");
fscommand("Tool1Y", "100");
fscommand("Tool1Width", "100");
fscommand("Tool1Height", "100");

or simply do:

Code: [Select]

//Toolpathscreen 1/////
fscommand("Tool1", "Show");
fscommand("Tool1X", "100");
fscommand("Tool1Y", "100");
fscommand("Tool1Width", "100");
fscommand("Tool1Height", "100");

Yes the toolpath code has changed since now you can display up to 25 toolpaths:
Acualy this code would be best, place this code on the starting frame( it is a global function and only needes to be seen once)

Code: [Select]

/////////Display toolpath ("TN" is the argument tool to display)////////
_global.gettool = function(TN) {

// X Y positioning
ToolX = getProperty(machscreen_mov, _x);
ToolY = getProperty(machscreen_mov, _y);

// find height width
ToolWidth = getProperty(machscreen_mov, _width);
ToolHeight = getProperty(machscreen_mov, _height);

//Toolpathscreen/////
///Send to mach "TN" is toolpath////////
fscommand("Tool"+TN, "Show");
fscommand("Tool"+TN+"X", ToolX);
fscommand("Tool"+TN+"Y", ToolY);
fscommand("Tool"+TN+"Width", ToolWidth);
fscommand("Tool"+TN+"Height", ToolHeight);

};

then call on it with

Code: [Select]

gettool("1");

VB and the development of wizards / Re: How to ignore macros (M calls) in Run from here mode?

« on: August 19, 2010, 03:17:49 PM »

One way is to set a UserLED when the user presses the RFH and reset the LED when they press the start and in your macro's check the state of the LED.
The "Estimating LED" LED18 will be active while it processing the RFH...so you could possiable use that LED.

You can do it 3 ways:

SEND MDI

Code: [Select]

on (release) {
fscommand("MDIEntry", "G0X1.2Y3.4");
}
SEND MCODE

Code: [Select]

on (release) {
fscommand("Code", "G0X1.2Y3.5");
}

Code: [Select]

on (release) {
fscommand("VBMacro", 'Code"G0X1.2Y33.4"');
}
I think you just didnt have the G0 in there.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Turn off E-Stop

« on: July 29, 2010, 03:17:33 PM »

If your Estop isnt reseting you may need to change the active low setting:

Config/Ports and Pins/InputSignal/
Scroll down to "Estop" and change your Active Low


Either that or turn off softlimits.
