ANYONE know HOW to create an OEM BUTTON that can be called from VB??

(;-)

Hi Terry,

Good to see you online.  I have to ask a question and I'm hoping it makes a modicum of sense.  I am just recently out of the hospital, surgery on my spine with fusion of five vertebrae and installation of about 500 grams of titanium to tighten things up.  I still have some memory problems and I have been having a hell of a time trying to recall how to do things.  The question is this.  Is it possible to press a button to read the value of a DRO, then run an algorithem to determine how many times a pattern of a certain length can be run in the area measured.  Do you think we can come up with a formula for that?

That should be easy enough do you know what the Dro# is?

You need several references

The length of the space   

The length of the routine

Somewhere to display the value

These can be DROs or stored variables or  Just inputs and ouputs to the screen via CB OR injected into a Gcode program by way of #vars

Let me know what you need and i can work on it with you.

Godspeed on the recovery, (;-) TP
