Don't know, I use the Rhino demo, haven't even saved one job, but it does

Re: feed rates for converted bitmaps

Hi:

set the feed rate. I mouse over to the feed rate box and enter a
number. But when I hit the "clear" button the value entered

You need to press enter after entering a number in a DRO..

I'd appreciate any advice

Thanks.
I have not tried this in version 4.x but this is the procedure that
always wored for me.

Create or Load the TAP file.
Hit RESET
Enter the FEEDRATE
RUN

I never hit CLEAR.

In fact, I've change the FEEDRATE manually by entering a new one
into the box while the mill is running.

If you are going to re-use the file over and over, then I would just
edit the file and add F10 as the first line.

Not directly. you will have to use bitmap buttons.

Re: feed rates for converted bitmaps

 

Edit the TAP file and add a feed rate as the first line. IE: F10... I think thats what I
usually use. It's been a little while since I did a photo.

Is there anyway to color the buttons in the screen designer?

Re: G2002

 

Don I just went back and checked the older "couple of weeks" posts on
the Gecko forum and unless you are not going to need the G2002 before
the middle of the summer you had better go ahead and get the Campbell
board. The G2002/3 will take the place of the Campbell board when it
is ready but Mariss said it would not be ready till early-mid summer.

I can vouch for the Campbell board as to quality and ease of wiring.
support is great also.

Re: Beginner's Guide to OCX Implementation Request

 

Hello James,

1) Place the OCX on a form, then try to find the OCX on the form, it
has no border or other visible feature
2) Name the OCX Motion (F4 to get to the Property page)
3) Now you can "talk" to the OCX with standard dot notation

Here is my Initialize Routine

Sub Initialize()
Dim status As Boolean
' initialize
Motion.InitEngine
'start
If Motion.StartEngine Then
MsgBox(" Engine started OK")
Else
MsgBox(" Engine failed to startOK")
End If
'reset
Motion.Reset
status = Motion.IsReset
'reset again ?
Motion.Reset
status = Motion.IsReset
' Don't know why I need a second call. (first false then true)

End Sub


Have fun, at the moment I am frustrated because I can do virtually
anything with the OCX but I can not convince it to generate pulses.


Best regards
and good luck
Peter

Well you got me on speed. Dam, now I'm gonna have to upgrade.


BTW

I just updated from one of the early 3.x version to 4.0. Since I do
some production work on my mill I can't afford to much trouble
shooting time.

I did have some trouble trying to use my modified profile. I loaded
up the standard Mill profile, retuned and all seems fine. I now have
to reprogram my USB keypad I use like a pendant. I almost forgot how
to run this thing without my little pendant.

I'm going to try an engraving run this weekend. (switch from
production to hobby mode)

Thanks for all your efforts.

Jens,

See if it麓s in incremental mode, if yes, turn to continuos mode or
press and hold Shift then the keys you麓d set up for jogging.

If you麓re using your own screen, you have to add a JogMode control on
the screen.

Happy jogging,

I just counted 10 systems on my LAN including the one running the mill but not including two old laptops that we play with once in a while.

One of the laptops is running Linux. I just poke that one with a stick once in a while. I was playing with EMC before I saw the light.

Is there a prize for the biggest geek among us?

BTW it's just me, my wife and one employee who never touches any of the PC's
