New button added. Now what?

Postby PillyWilly » Sat Mar 17, 2018 10:57 am

Hi All

Okay, I figured out how to add a new button to my "RUN" screen.
How do I configure this new button to run my custon M code?

Regards

Make the button number the same as the macro number.
It should be between 20000 and 20999.

Thanks, helpfull info.

Now I get a File:/Profiles/Macro_Default\M20000.txt Could not read!

All this M20000.txt contains is:
exec.Setoutpin(1,1);

for triggering Pin 1 on Port 1 on my UB1

Did you save M20000.txt in the folder /Profiles/Macro_Default? UCCNC looks for it there.

Interesting... If you type M20000 in MDI, does it run?

Are you using the default profile, or a different one?

No, sorry, the file was placed in the Contents folder.

All fine now

I written a plugin that you can use to turn pin on/off in any port with E-stop enabled. Use button, mdi or hot-key. Need the newest UCCNC version.
