I have a custom screen I created using bits and pieces from the stock 1024 screen and other screens. I am using screen4.exe

During tool setup, I am always setting the jog speed dpwn to 5% or 10% by hand in the dro box or by using the jog - and jog + buttons.

Then I have to set it back to 100% so I can fast jog.
I keep jog set a 100% most the time

I would like to have two custom jog speed buttons. 10% and 100%

I searched but did not see any way to set up a button that can change the jog speed to a certain value.

Any way to do this?
If not, this seems like a great feature to add to Mach3 if possible.

I think the jog % DRO # is 3, so have the button call a VB script with:

SetOEMDRO (3,10)


Which should set OEM DRO #3 to a value of 10.

You might have to use:
Call SetOEMDRO (3,10)
Not sure.

Thanks Gerry

First I have to figure out how to call a vb script
Never done that before

Going down to my CNC machine in my shop to have a go at it.

I'll report back

In Screen 4, set the button for VB Script.
In Mach3, go to Operator > Edit Button Script and click your button. When the editor opens, put your script in. Click File > Save in the editor, and then close it. If it asks you to save hiddenscript.m1s, choose yes.

I figured it out using the other screen editor
I have both screen4 and the other one on the Mach3 site (can't remember the name)

Anywho, the other editor lets you see the vb code and add vb code when you click on a button.
BTW it was SetOEMDRO (3,10)

And so I created 4 new buttons
Jog 10, Jog 25, Jog 50 and Jog 100
I then added hot keys for the 4 buttons. Numbers 1,2,3 and 4
Then I went to my Logitech wireless controller and mapped out the 4 new buttons on the wireless controller.

Bam!!!
Now I can choose my jog speeds without using the computer keyboard or the on screen buttons
Thanks for your help.

Just got a wireless Logitech F710 game pad for Mach3 use and it is really cool!
