Hopefully you can help me with this Brian..

I got the wxlua dialog to display with buttons in the PLC when running a gcode file but it, just displays the dialog box and button's, but doesn't wait for a button press to return to the gcode it just keeps running the gcode with the dialog box still on the screen..
Any way to go about this and not have the gcode keep running?.. till i hit one of the buttons..

Checking to see if a dialog box or messagebox is called from a gcode macro..
yes will allow? the dialog to be displayed on the screen, and all buttons,? but when the dialog is displayed control? is sent right back to the gcode .and doesn't wait for any buttons to be pressed
The dialog remains on the screen while the gcode is running now, and i can close it with a button press.

Is it possible to stop the gcode from running while in the dialog box?

Or just not possible?

Thanks Gary

Hello,

I think we can make this happen. Are you talking about a dialog in an Mcode ? Or some function in the screen ? Please tell me what we are doing and I think we can make it happen :)

Thanks

Brian

Hi brian

What i am doing is setting a register flag when in the Macro Mcode and have the dialog in the PLC script, that displays when the flag is set, that seems to works, except it shows the dialog and button's but doesn't stop the Macro it just keeps running with the dialog box on the screen, i still can press the button and the dialog will closed and resets the register flag.

Making any sense?

Thanks gary

If you would like to stop the macro you will need to make the dialog in the Macro... The other way to do it would be with a semaphore and spin lock looking at the flag... I don't h think that would be a good way but I have no idea what the screen is doing.

Thanks

Brian

Here is an example of the code in the PLC
I did try the dialog in the macro but didn't seem to work it would display the dialog, but no text or buttons would display.. and i couldn't close the dialog
as far as a a semaphore and spin lock looking at the flag not sure how to implement that above my skill level i'm thinking..

Thanks gary

I am assuming its not possible to do this...

But i do have another question.

What mc command can be used and how, to check a button press to see when its up and when its down

As I thought :) You can do it!

Replace your : wx.wxGetApp():MainLoop()

With : ?? MyDialog1:ShowModal()

And you can put it in your Mcode! It will stop the execution.

Thanks brian

It seems to work, but always a but!

When i run the M6 Macro alone though the editor or mdi line it seems ok on dro changes..

if i load a Gcode file and run that when it runs the M6 Macro line the Z axis dro on the screen jumps to 5.0 from 0..

There is no code in the Gcode file or the M6 macro to move the Z axis before the M6 T line..

it doesn't move like its jogging it just go's from 0 to 5.0 instantly

also got this error a couple times

Lua: Error while running chunk
?:-1: attempt to yield across a C-call boundary
stack traceback:
?? ??: in function <?:59>
?? ?[C]: in method 'ShowModal'
?? ??: in function 'M6Message'

Guess I need to play with this thing some more. I just did it in the editor and not in the Gcode file. Let me see what I can do

Ok Thanks Brian

I have run into another problem, not sure what the cause..

when i load the gcode file it never shows the machining to start in the parts center in the tool path display... form a couple of my profiles, if i start a run and then stop re zero the dro's and regen the tool path its now starting in the middle.. in the tool path display..

but i do have a couple profiles that don't have that problem i don't see any setting's that are different.
Do the profiles go bad? or get some sort of glitch, don't see any difference other than the way the tool path starts when the gcode is first loaded and its way off center position

Any word on the fix of the jogging increment problem? I have the latest version of mach4 available on the web site unless i am missing something. If I start mach4 and set the jog increment to .01" Shut down and start again. the increment shown is .01" but it moves 1"? it is real easy to break bits when it moves out of control? a while inch. If this is difficult to fix at least make the default .001" not 1"

Ok thanks, but this problem with the toolpath being off center, has become a real problem for me..

?

I just ram a job this morning.. I started by probing to find the center of part, when centered I zeroed the X and Y

Then loaded the tool and probed the tool Hight so that was set, then loaded the g code file.

Checked the X and Y they were at zero the z was at the correct height.

Started to run the job the X and Y went no where near the correct position and the z dove into the part… wrecked part now

?

So I flipped over and did the same thing exactly and it cut prefect . .

?

I have had this happen before when I run the part the first time if I re zero center everything and try again it runs fine..

?

I have tried this on 3 different computers also

?

Any suggestions,

?

I am trying to work on the dialog thing for you still ... One thing at a time. I have enough work to do and I am trying to fit this in for you guys. I think I see the issue with the dialog. We may need to make a frame to have as the parent of the dialog. Testing that now

Thanks

Gary,

After testing it can not be done! We need to do the semaphore :( I can show you how t make your dialog work. We can add a spin lock to wait for the dialog to say that it has shutdown .. If you want send me your screen and I will show you how to make it happen .

Thanks

Brian

I just ram a job this morning.. I started by probing to find the center of part, when centered I zeroed the X and Y

Then loaded the tool and probed the tool Hight so that was set, then loaded the g code file.

Checked the X and Y they were at zero the z was at the correct height.

Started to run the job the X and Y went no where near the correct position and the z dove into the part… wrecked part now

?

So I flipped over and did the same thing exactly and it cut prefect . .

?

I have had this happen before when I run the part the first time if I re zero center everything and try again it runs fine..

?

I have tried this on 3 different computers also

?

Any suggestions,

?

All new to me.. Lets get what we can for data and see what we can find. I think that is the best thing to do.

Thanks

Ok Thanks Brian

I have run into another problem, not sure what the cause..

when i load the gcode file it never shows the machining to start in the parts center in the tool path display... form a couple of my profiles, if i start a run and then stop re zero the dro's and regen the tool path its now starting in the middle.. in the tool path display..

but i do have a couple profiles that don't have that problem i don't see any setting's that are different.
Do the profiles go bad? or get some sort of glitch, don't see any difference other than the way the tool path starts when the gcode is first loaded and its way off center position

Ok thanks but I don’t think it’s the dialog messing up my position’s when I first run the job and the axis’s go off tract to the wrong start position..

I don’t have any dialogs in the profile I am using on the mill to do cutting, only on my other computer for testing

?

Sorry for all the trouble

But didn’t want you to look at the dialog for the machine start positioning I seem to be having

Gary,

After testing it can not be done! We need to do the semaphore :( I can show you how t make your dialog work. We can add a spin lock to wait for the dialog to say that it has shutdown .. If you want send me your screen and I will show you how to make it happen .

?

Thanks

Brian
