General Mach Discussion / Re: Announcement: MachStdMill screen set - release target

Terry,

You should really give one of the screen designers a go, as that way you could make a screen set look any way YOU"D like it to.

With the knowledge you certainly have, I would think that would be a breeze for you

Well this is just weird then, as it will not run with just the button pressed (could it be my button settings?), BUT it WILL run with the VB Editor open, just like Terrys, so it has to be something in my configuration setup here.

Thanks

Nice work, and I believe the name is called "Spalted Maple" 

Thanks for sharing-

Mach Screens / Re: "Settings" screen green background????

« on: June 21, 2010, 12:11:33 PM »

Hi, and welcome, the green is indeed how it is 

That's one of the many reasons I chose to make up my own screens.

Hi Terry,

Unfortunately neither of the codes you made worked on the fully optimized machine PC either. Thanks though.

Ian, I tried yours but is that the whole code? It seems unfinished as when I run it, it cycles through the GCode in the window but the sits there with the machine time DRO just counting away and never does anything after that. What version of Mach are you running?

Thanks,
Dave

This is my main PC which is a dual core 2.8 and I have no optimization on it. What I will do is wait until I get on my machine PC which has all optimizations and report back with the results on that one.

It's fathers day and we're having quite a party here so this will have to wait until tomorrow 

I will say that all my "usual" macros run fine on this PC but maybe this macro needs every every bit of resource to run?

Thanks again,
Dave

No sir, no good and it does something odd as well.

It cycles through the GCode and then disappears and then does it again. Did you try some sort of reset to get it to run correctly?

Thanks again,
Dave

Yep, it works correctly as long as the editor is open! What's up with that?

Thanks for looking into this, I'm running R3.041 so I guess there's the reason why.

EDIT: Tried the regen and the same exact thing.

Thank you sir-
