Here it is latest version..........do not forget to look at READ ME FIRST.txt

Big Tex,

After our phone conversation today, I have thought of another option. you could "Automate" the machine coordintates issue as well......

in the error capture code for the machine coordinates, in the if/then statement.
if the machine meets the machine coor. error condtions, you could put in
your then: DoOEMbutton(button number for toggle machine coordinates), I dont know the OEM code off the top of my head, so you will need to look it up on the wiki.

what that would do, is prior to executing your probing code, it would "Fix" the machine coordinate issue it self....... Now the only "user intervention" error code would be the grounding issue error code..... you would elimate one of the "show stoppers".

Here is another thing, I thought of......

for the Grounding error, even IF you put in a Message box, the issue with those are they are MODAL....... so....... in that error capture code, I would add two more things...

1). I would put: Code "M1" 'you will need to have the optional stop enabled in M3.
this will put mach in a controlled stopped condition, before the macro exits the sub.

2). I would put a second line of code, that its purpose would be so you could "Re-Run" the macro, after an error conditon: SetUserLED(1200,1).

3). Then I would put a "Re-run" probing macro button on my probe screen area. In this button, it would look to see if User LED (which could be to the right of this button), is ON, if it is, it would re-run the code, (after the user fixed the grounding issue), but only if it saw the LED ON, and the only way that it would be ON, is the primary probing code, tripped that error. So, the Monkey user would NOT be able to run the probing code, from that button unless the first time it tried to run it, there was a grounding error.

so that button would be like:

if GetUserLED(1200) then
Code "M####" 'what ever your probing macro number is here
SetUserLED(1200,0) 'resets the error LED back to OFF.
DoButton(1000) 'Cycle start, this would "Restart" (take the gcode/m3 out of M1), and continue executing yoru gcode program.

The M6start file was not included in the installer. Is this the one we need to use? TIA!

Did you load g-code? And then started script?

Just to make it clear here is my M6start


tool = GetSelectedTool()
SetCurrentTool( tool )

TCX=GetOEMDRO(1200)
TCY=GetOEMDRO(1201)
TCZ=GetOEMDRO(1202)

Code "G53 G0 Z" & TCZ
While IsMoving()

Code "G53 G0 X" & TCX & " Y" & TCY
While IsMoving()

I'm doing something similar if the user is using the scale DRO's. Not sure if your code is the same, but in mine, if the user had any scale settings set, the tool wouldn't go to the fixed plate, as it's location was moved by the scale amount.

The solution I came up with was to turn off scaling, do the probing, and turn the scaling back on. As Scott says, just turn machine coordinates off, and turn them back on when done. Probably a better solution, unless it causes other issues.

My screen has has permanent Machine Coordinates DRO's, and no button to toggle the regular DRO's to Machine Coordinates, so this isn't really an issue for me.

That is correct
I attached file for you to copy

[Big-tex]

Guys I guess there are still things to add and change, works goes on and never ends

Dude here is complete zip with m6start included.

I noticed you uploaded my screenset on your website.
Its cool if all content is as posted here with all files needed.

BTW on your sitel it is not complete as I have included laser aiming for x y setup.
You press laser on or ctrl+L that triggers input for flood jog and aim cross hair where you want to XY 0,0 then press laser zero Alt+L that mobes tool to where cross hair was resets x y DROs and turns laser off.

I guess I need to create video to show all funtionality.

Thanks!

I realized today that if you use multiple Work Offsets, then only the current one gets set to zero. If you add the following code, and autozero in G54, it'll set the G55-G59 offsets to match. So you can then switch from G54 to G55-G59 and still have the same Z zero.

ZOffset=GetVar(5223)
For X = 5243 To 5343 Step 20
SetVar(X, ZOffset)
Next X

Offsets increment by 20, with 10303 being the Z value of offset #255

how to download form the download section ?

You got-ta be kidding

Unzip…then….dble click the “READ_ME_FIRST” txt !!!
This all assuming you understand you also must dble click on the .msi ( the set-up wizard) !

Hope this clears & help (wedge)

Not sure if anyone noticed this or not, but on the settings screen, the 2 columns of indicators and their associated buttons for inhibiting axis's are reversed. The label of A-C, X-Z effect the opposite label.

For example, if you inhibit Z, you actually inhibit the A axis and vice-versa. Either the indicators or the buttons need to be reversed.

Is this something a layperson can do will it require another release?

Thanks,
Alan - a total newbie so I hope I got this right, it's how it works on my system at least.

Thanks Big-tex, I have been looking for a macro to set the edge of my work piece. Basically set the x/y offset I think.

Kevin I think after our conversation we know where your problems lie.

If you set up laser cross hair that would be easy.

Is the latest version still the one on the No Sleep site?
