Y axis manual input

(1/3) > >>

Hello
I'm trying to find a script that will allow me to manually input Y coordinates and then go to that position.  I dont want the MDI box, so I dont have to type "G0Y?" everytime

TIA

TPS:
load a GCode file.

for example

G0X10
G0X20
G0X30
G0X30
G0X40

enable Single BLK
than you only have to hit Start for every single line

Thanks, but not exactly what i am looking for.

What i want to do is: click on a button, enter a value: ie. 23.625, hit enter and have the machine go to that position

TPS:
ok then something like this might help:


--- Code: ---Sub Main
Dim YPos As String
YPos = AskTextQuestion("Please enter Y Position (use . not , !): ")

If IsNumeric(YPos) Then
Code "G0Y"+CStr(YPos)
Message "driving Y to: " & YPos
Else
MsgBox "Vaule you entered is not numeric!"
End If
End Sub

--- End code ---
