Appropriating an action to new buttons added to screen set

Hi,
I want to move X,Y&Z axis individually by 0.5mm incrementally using new buttons on the screen,I would like to know how to action this,
The movement would be in both directions (+&-),
thanks in anticipation

What kind of CNC control software are you asking this about? They all work somewhat differently.

In Mach3, using a screen designer, add a button that calls an M Code, like M555

Create a macro called M555.m1s, with this code:

Code:

---

DIM XMove

XMove = 0.5

CurrentAbsInc = GetOemLED(48) ' Get the current G90/G91 state

Code "G91"

Code  "G0 X" & XMove
While IsMoving()
Wend

If CurrentAbsInc = 1 Then
Code "G90"
End If

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
If I have got this right ?,
I could set up six buttons,
Two by each axis thus enabling + or- movement in that axis ?,
Thanks in anticipation.

Yes, 6 buttons, and 6 macros.

hi,
thanks for the info,
do you know if its poss to incorporate a counter either on the button or adjacent to it to register how many increments have been used,
v new to this, so green as grass!!!,
all help/advice much appreciated,
thanks

Yes. You need to add a user label, and read it when you press the button, then add the increment and re-write to it.
