DRO ZERO VB Script
« on: April 09, 2016, 03:34:33 PM »
Hi Everyone,

Could someone pls help me with my macro? What i am trying to achieve is after Z moved 10 in incremental ZERO the Z DRO and back to Absolute mode. BUt instead of zeroing always stays 10. What is wrong? Anyone has idea? Here it is:

Code "G91"
Sleep(20)
Code "G00 Z 10"
Sleep(50)
Call SetDro (2,0.0000)
Sleep(200)
Code "G90"
Sleep(20)

Thank You for any input

> Call SetOEMDro (802,0)
Why is it that the Macro Programmer's Reference manual on page 70 says that this should be SetOEMDRO(2,0)? While the examples given for some of these get/set DRO functions are kinda confusing, since they use the wrong functions?

OK, OK, so I read the one wrong page when trying to use these functions.
Mumble.

Cheers
