Re: wxlua frame

 

开云体育

Hi Gary,

What you will need to do is put this code in the screen (where graphics are done). In your M6 set a register to a value that will trigger the dialog in the screen. You will need a spinlock checking to see when your dialog is done (set some other register stating that the Macro needs to continue) . We do have some other tools to hold a macro (mcFileHoldAquire) but it's a bit more advanced (This is the tool that allows the manual tool change to work) and what is also doing the the work for the mcCntlWaitOnCycleStart command. Try that out and tell me how it works for you. If you would like a hand doing it I am more than happy to assist you with the programming. I think this would be a cool router feature :)


thanks
Brian

Hello, It can not ... You will need to make some sort of a Semaphore from the Gcode to set a register and that can run your dialog. What are you looking to do? Maybe I can help!

Please contact Trevor in support and we will get that solved for you. I don't know why but the Lua module with the engraving didn't get installed on your system. Should be a simple fix. Please tell me how you like the engraving, it was fun to make it do all the odd engraving like engrave around an arc!

Re: initial mach3 setup for ChinaCNCzone 5 axis desktop engraver

 
Edited

I didn't see this thread when it was first posted for some reason. Missing graphics, if you have them as files in your machine, are usually fixed by copying them into the Mach3 folder called bitmaps. The usual install also expects the location of Mach3 to be C:\Mach3 so the files should be copied to C:\Mach3\Bitmaps if this is the case. It is the first place the screen set looks for them if they are not where the screen set expects them to be. I have never installed Mach3 anywhere else so do not know what will happen if it is in a sub-folder or on a different drive. The license details at the top of the screen look like a China Cracked license so you will not get any official assistance from the official Mach3 sources.

The screen shot looks like the downloadable 6 Axis Screen available from Newfangled Solutions so if you cannot find the bitmaps on your machine it is probably worth downloading this and copying the bitmaps from it into your controller.
Mach3 Turn Wizard - OD Facing

 

I don't know how many of the people here use Mach3 Turn or its wizards but if you do then this is for you.

I was looking at why this wizard was not working correctly when it has Xend larger than Xstart and ended up rewriting a lot of the script. The issues were:

If you tried to use it for facing from the centre to the OD it overshot the centre and so pushed the tool into the rising side of the workpiece which, as we all know, is bad for the cutting edge on the tool,
If you wanted to leave a central spigot going from the spigot to the OD the error above created the wrong size spigot and going from outside inwards the final cut uses G0 not G1.

This is the modified script for the Post Code button. You can access it by going to the wizard page for OD facing, on the menu bar choose Operator/Edit Button Script then when the buttons flash click on the Post Code button. This should open the script editor. If you paste this script in front of the existing script then the new script will execute when the button is pressed in normal use. The old script will still be there if you want to compare the two or, if you don't want to use this newer script (just delete what has been added at the front).

initial mach3 setup for ChinaCNCzone 5 axis desktop engraver

 

I've recently purchased a 5axis HY6040 desktop milling machine. Mach3 came with the machine. After installing, and opening, the Mach3 software the app it is missing much of the graphics. I tried to install everything? according to the user manual for the machine; although, the installation instructions are not entirely clear. Anyone in this group purchase and set up one of these machines?

It appears that the driver isn't installed. I've uninstalled Mach3 and installed it twice now and It doesn't seem to install the driver.
