I have 30 or so custom functions that I wrote to interface over serial with some servo drives. Each one reads or writes a unique piece of data such as servoGetPositon(). These are taking up a lot of space in my screen load script and I would like to move them somewhere else to maintain readability without changing the functionality.

I am not a programmer so the phrasing I'm going to use is probably wrong, but is there a way to save all these functions in a "library file" and "include" this at the top of the screen load script? something like #include "servoScript.h" from C++? Does Mach/LUA support this?

Thanks!

Hi,
I think a module is what is required.

Thanks!

I'm going to have to watch that about 10 times to get it, but that looks perfect!

Converted all my custom functions to modules. Took a little effort but well worth it. Functionality has not changed (that's what I wanted)
