It seems the m3 code does not compile every time. I even shut down M4 and restart it and it does not work. Do I need to reboot the computer?

Delete the ones with the extension MCC and delete the mcLUA.MCC

The program tells me that it can not find the m3.mcc file even when restart M4. I am removing the .mcc file and M4 seems to remake mcLUA but not the m3. Suggestions?

I hate being ignorant but that rarely stops me...

I got the script to work with the button on the ShuttlePro; however, it comes on with the last set spindle speed. I looked for LUA codes in the scripting manual but did not find them. Is it as easy as adding a line to my script that states:

mc.mcSpindleSetSpeed (1)

???? I would like to set the power level at 1 for the spindle speed.

This is driving me crazy - the good news is it is a very short trip!

I found the correct (I think) command for setting the laser power. I tried this:

function M3()
     inst=mc.mcGetInstance()
     mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, 'Spindle Clockwise')
     mc.mcSpindleSetDirection (inst, 1)
     mc.mcSpindleSetCommandRPM(inst, 1 )
end
if (mc.mcInEditor()==1) then
   m3()
end

Did not work. Then I thought it may need the RPM before the command to turn on so I moved it - still does not work. Dang

I know I should be testing these before I use them, but not sure how? For example, I have this code on a button and it works well, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work elsewhere.

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();
local sigh = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.OSIG_SPINDLEON);
local sigState = mc.mcSignalGetState(sigh);

if (sigState == 1) then
    mc.mcSpindleSetDirection(inst, 0);
else
    mc.mcSpindleSetDirection(inst, 1);
    local rpm = 1;    -- Set this to the actual RPM you want as your starting point
    mc.mcSpindleSetCommandRPM( inst, rpm );
end

I would like to achieve the same function with a ShuttlePro button. I don't mind reading about how to do this, but I don't know where. Also, I would rather not learn LUA to set a ShuttlePro button.

Alms for the confused???

I cant see anywhere in your code where you have actually turned the spindle on??

try   


Code: [Select]
mc.mcSpindleSetCommandRPM(inst, 1 )
mc.mcSignalSetState (mc.mcSignalGetHandle (inst, mc.OSIG_SPINDLEON),1)
mc.mcSpindleSetDirection(inst, mc.MC_SPINDLE_FWD);
