Started working on my laser screen set
Hopefully I can use the B axis as a Z' for the focus control.

Spent some time on the probing screen and routines today. Uses variables for the various gcode files called.

HIYA Craig, You need a Probe test LED on screen AND a probe # DRO to tell you which Probe to use. Maybe an exterior and interior probing array ?? or maybe a creepy crawl routine for profiling


Just a thought, TP

the led is there, only have one probe , The buttons on the left are for interior and exterior probing.

And if you can write the routine in macro B, gcode or Lua go for it. This is just a start for my needs long time before it will every be fully completed as the more I learn the more I can add to my screen set.

good reply Ya-Nvr-No

a request that's up to when M4 is finely realised can you shear your screen sets or sale them

Hiya Craig NOTHING ALPHA about me. I do not belong to the inner circle (;-) I am still running on the demo.

I did find some code to build a Simple calculator in Lua.

Just so you all know how these variables are passed from a screen DRO to a #variable that the gcode can read and use:
again placed in the plc script, it sees the values and passes them to the pound variable holding registers. Each has its own name and variable associated to it


local valPartDiameter = scr.GetProperty('droPartDiameter', 'Value');
mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, 200, tonumber(valPartDiameter));

daniellyall: have to give your credit for trying as you've posted several times that your loving what you see, Thanks  ;D

Here is a code snippet (modified from an original probe routine) for probing a hole:
Code: [Select]
g61
#98 = 20 (Rough probe speed)
#97 = 3 (Fine probe speed)
([#200] diameter of circle)
([#203] Probe X Travel distance)
([#204] Probe Y Travel  distance)
([#206] Retract distance)

g91
g01 z0.0
g31 y-[#200] f#98 (Rough probe for -Y Pos)
g01 y[#206]
g4p1
g31 y-[#204] f#97 (Fine probe for -Y Pos)
#102 = #5062
g0 y[#206]
g4p1

And now, just noticed that I need to make the feed rates also a passable feature. (You see how this is never ending)  ???
and not sure just why I need a dwell using the ESS but I hope that will be addressed and I can remove them.
