Ok, then it seems not.

Machscreen seems to have no multiline control either.


Its working anyway so that's what counts.


One last point on this button, is it possible to code it as a "toggle" feature :-

Press once to park the gantry
Press again to return to X & Y zero positions.

Just wondering

I'm guessing it would need to toggle an LED on/off and check the state of that LED first?


Dave

You could do it with the LED or you could also have it look at the Y position in machine coords and if it is at Y600 then do the move you want.

Ok

I have added another if-then-else loop which checks GetOemDRO(84) for a position >599

that makes sense to me as even if i tell it to go to 600 it seems to stop around 599.99995

BUT

what is the code to actually move the gantry X & Y to the Origin or work zero co-odinates??

I cant see a move command in the books, probably looking for the wrong thing, or is it coded as something else???

Basically the same as GotoZ but only on X & Y.

I tried a G28 X0 Y0 but that moved first to my chosen point and then moved swiftly on to machine zero point?

Is there a way to stop it at the work zero or origin point???

Code "G0X0Y0"

Will send it to the offset zero position.

Might also be worthwhile putting a

While IsMoving()
Wend

After any code that moves an axis, especially if you have further commands after it.



Hood

As simple as that

Excellent and many thanks again for the speedy help.

Dave

Code added, works exactly as i wanted - press once gets the gantry out the way, press again returns to work zero.

A very useful button indeed


Thanks for the help.
