I've got this topic in another of my posts, but thought it may get a few more looks in it's own topic.
I've searched the forums and looked in Mach3 but I can't seem to work out how to get a DRO and a button that runs a program to interact.
I think I'm close, I want to have a DRO that you can put a measurement into and when you press a button it will use this measurement in the program, this is what I have.
Create a DRO, I assigned it to DIAMETER OF CURRENT TOOL (which I think is OEM code 105), should I select DIAMETER OF CURRENT TOOL from the drop down or should I enter the OEM code 105?
Create a button and assign VB code to it as follows:
Material = GetOEMDRO (105)
CODE "#1=Material" ;In theory if 20 is entered into the DRO, Material should =20
CODE "G90 G55 G21
CODE "G00 Y[#1*2] ;Rapid to Y40
CODE "G01 Y#1 F100 ;Linear travel to Y20
CODE "G00 Y[#1*2] ;Rapid back to Y40
CODE "M30"
What am I doing wrong?
