"sending" gcode to mdi
« on: April 20, 2011, 06:24:03 AM »
Hi

Is it possible to "send" g-code to mdi instead of executing. So if I assign G0 to a button and M3 to another button and S1000 to another, can these be used to send G0 S1000 M3 to mdi for execution?

MDI is manual entry, you could just type that in.
G0 S1000 M3

If you really want a button to do it then you could do it by putting VB script behind a button.

Well if there is no keyboard. I suppose it would be better to just figure out an onscreen keyboard rather than try and make mdi work with buttons.
