IsMoving
« on: January 21, 2014, 08:57:35 AM »
not sure i understand IsMoving. doesn't that mean when
ANY axis is moving ? i'm trying to get a ticker going and
the below only does the Else, not the If :)  hope that explains it.
i want the ticker to say something while the machine is motionless
and not say anything while any axis is moving.
Thanks


If IsMoving() Then
SetTicker(1 , "  Moving  ")
Sleep 2000
Else
SetTicker(1 , "       Raven Research")
Sleep 2000
End If

apparently i was wrong. it does work while axis is moving.
but it doesn't change once movement stops/starts.
looks like i can only do this with a button, don't want.
is it possible to use a user ticker in the brain ? i couldn't
see how.
Thanks
Kenneth

How are you running the macro? I think you need to run it as a macropump for it to work.

I think it leaves the Chargepump on during an Estop.
