VB and the development of wizards / Re: Dosen't see change

« on: October 07, 2007, 11:32:49 AM »

I also tried to use OEM 340 & 341 (Temp set softlimits min and max) and nothing happens. I see no change in the config/homming/limits table. I've read all the Wiki stuff and don't see any command to update the system, I don't know what else to try. Thanks for stopping by.

VB and the development of wizards / Dosen't see change

« on: October 05, 2007, 09:46:29 AM »

Dim Val
Val = GetOemDro(83)
Call SetOemDro(150,Val)

This gets the current X position and writes it to softlimit Max X but the program dosen't recognize it until I click Config/Homming/limits. I thought the softlimits toggle would cause the program to look there for new info.

Mach Screens / Re: Setting softlimits

« on: October 01, 2007, 07:22:46 PM »

I figured it out. Put on screen  a DRO for X softlimit Max (DRO150) and one for X softlimit Min (DRO156). Place a button for each and have the button run VB
Dim Val
Val = GetOemDro(83) ' current X coordinate
Call SetOemDro(150,Val) ' Writes current X position into X max softlimit.
Use 83, 156 for X Min
Use 84, 151 For Y Max and 84, 157 for Y Min

Mach Screens / Setting softlimits

« on: September 27, 2007, 08:56:13 PM »

I have a Bridgemill, lathe and Mill combo, and my configuration changes quite often. I would like to change my softlimits to accommodate the changes by moving the X and Y-axis to where the new limit will be and press a button to store that position as the new softlimit and display them on screen.
    Has anyone written code to do this or any suggestions? Thanks

Tangent Corner / Which Plasma Torch

« on: August 02, 2007, 10:52:54 PM »

Which plasma cutter should I get?  I cut nothing thicker than ¼” and mostly 1/8” steel. It’s non production work in a money limited home shop and I need one that is Mach 3 friendly. Thanks.

General Mach Discussion / Display vs table

« on: May 07, 2006, 11:09:00 PM »

Mach 3 mill
I want the display to match what is happing on the table.
Home X = table moves far left to home switch
            Y = table moves  far front to home switch

Config home/limits
      Reversed      Home neg
   X       checked      checked
   Y       xed      checked

Ports & pins
   Motor Outputs
      Dir low active
   X   checked
   Y   checked
Press left arrow key table moves right
Preee up arrow key table moves to front

Cross hairs on display move opposite direction of table

Milling cut moves opposite direction of display

My home switches are mounted on the frame and the table moves to them
Thanks for the help, Ben
