Y axis manual input
« on: January 01, 2019, 12:24:05 PM »
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

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
anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.

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

ok then something like this might help:

Code: [Select]
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
anything is possible, just try to do it.

Can I ask 2 more questions, If I enter a value over 50 for Y, how can I have a message box say "value too high"  And I have a virtual num pad that appears when the F9 key is pressed, is there a way to wmulate the F9 in a script so that the keypad comes up automatically

ok sorry for the delay,

first question no Problem, new code:
Code: [Select]
Sub Main
'declare variables
Dim YPos As String
Dim YMinPos As Double
Dim YMaxPos As Double

'preset the variables
YMinPos = 1.0
YMaxPos = 50.0

'show the input Box
YPos = AskTextQuestion("Please enter Y Position (use . not , !): ")

'check that the entered value is numeric
If IsNumeric(YPos) Then
 'check the minimal value
 If CDbl(YPos) < YMinPos Then
    MsgBox ("entered value too low !")
    Exit Sub
 End If  
 'check the maximal value
 If CDbl(YPos) > YMaxPos Then
    MsgBox ("entered value too high !")
    Exit Sub
 End If  
 
Code "G0Y"+CStr(YPos)
Message "driving Y to: " & YPos
Else
MsgBox "Vaule you entered is not numeric!"
End If
End Sub
second question:

here i am not sure what would be the Trigger for "comming up" of the Keyboard (maybe the script, witch asks for the YPos?),
and how to trigge the Keyboard?

TPS

BTW:witch virtual Keyboard do you use? maybe i can choose a copy and test?

hi,

here is a code sample witch uses DRO for strorage (to Display).
it uses a selfmade virtual Keyboard for numeric Input via touch Screen.
all values (min max DRONum) are adjustable in top aeria.

Code: [Select]
Global value As String

Sub Main
'declare variables
Dim YPos As Double
Dim OldDroValue As Double
Dim YMinPos As Double
Dim YMaxPos As Double
Dim DroNum  As Integer

'preset the variables
YMinPos = 1.0
YMaxPos = 50.0
DroNum  = 1201

'get the actual DRO value
OldDroValue = GetOemDro(DroNum)

'show the virtual keyboard
call NumericKeyboard(DroNum,YMinPos,YMaxPos)

'get the new DRO value
YPos = GetOEMDro(DroNum)


'check that the entered value has changed
If YPos <> OldDroValue Then
'doe the move
Code "G0Y"+CStr(YPos)
Message "driving Y to: " & YPos
End If
End Sub



'TPS 01.12.2017
'numerische Eingabe
Function NumericKeyboard(ByVal DRONum as Integer , ByVal Min as Double , ByVal Max as Double) As Double
Dim title as String
value = "" 'GetOemDRO(DRONum)
title = Header
