Hello
I have sucessfully added a swappable 3D printer head to my DIY router and have printed parts. I am now working on a modified screenset for this adaptation. I am using Automation Direct's Solo temp controllers for the extruder and build table I have programmed USER DRO's to read temps and Read/Write set points as well as User LED's to indicate when temps are within limits using the Modbus protocal and Mach3 Brains.
My next steps are
1.The ability enable/disable the temp controllers by pressing a screen button. The button would set a bit in the controller's register to stop or start the output.
2. The ability enable/disable the temp controllers with an M-Code within a program.
3. The ability to change the temp setpoints with an M-Code within a program.
4. The ability to have the program wait (Dwell -I think) until the temps are within range.
I am new to the VB script writing and am looking for any pointers or examples that can help me in my endevor. I have been reading the docs on the Artsoft Web site and have started writing code but I have been searching for VB script commands that can directly access Modbus addresses and have had very little success.
