I have all the shilling buttons full with task. since shilling was made the newer controllers added buttons . I have done some experimenting with macro and they work well with buttons the are on the setup map. was hoping to set macro for trigger buttons that are not on shilling setup thanks for the help Charlie

OK So reading through the shilling manual, you can call macros with button presses.
Make a Macro to turn on/off your spindle  and call it with a button. It all in section 4.6.1.

Hope this helps.

I get no messages. I renamed the UserMCodeModuleDefault.mcs to UserMCodeModule.mcs  added your two functions on a clean install of MachPro and made sure I had Open-Close set. As far as I can tell, it never attempts to run those two functions.

Run the following script, let me know if you have any Message Boxes come up. On Local testing, I have no issues with this.

Make sure that your "Tool Changer Dust Cover Behavior" is set to a value of "Open-Close" While running a Tool Changer. I had my Tool Changer set to manual for this test. --- Be careful that you're not just modifying the "Tool Setter Dust Cover Behavior" setting.

Code: [Select]

function UserMCodeModule.TC_PreOpenDustCover()
wx.wxMessageBox("Pre Open Dust Cover")
return nil, true, w.FunctionCompleted()
end
function UserMCodeModule.TC_PreCloseDustCover()
wx.wxMessageBox("Pre Close Dust Cover")
return nil, true, w.FunctionCompleted()
end

I spent the weekend attempting to get this working in my UserMCodeModule.mcs   it doesn't seem to matter what I set the tool dust cover settings to, this code will not run via invoking M6. It will run with M112/M113
