Adding buttons for Scripts
« on: November 03, 2012, 09:54:23 AM »
I've just added a laser cross hair to my router table.
The center of the cross image offset from the center of my spindle is -52.79mm in X and -0.375 in Y.

So I must add a Button and as assign a script to it.

Any guidance would be appreciated, I use the standard Mach3 screen and have not messed with it yet.

Thanks

George

Do you need to know how to add a button? There are screen designer tutorials here. Screen 4, at the bottom of the list http://www.machsupport.com/videos/

Here's the code I use in my screen.


XOffset = -52.79   'X offset from laser crosshair to spindle
YOffset = -0.375   'Y offset from laser crosshair to spindle


SetOEMDRO(800,XOffset)
SetOEMDRO(801,YOffset)

Gerry, that looks good. I have watched the tutorial. Is Scree4 part of Mach3 or do I need to download it ?
Cant find it in my Mach3 directory.
