ATC - new approach

[Delco]

Great, thanks.
Rotary carousel can be added very easy, just adding one more option for axis orientation and some specific tasks.
Hope I'm not wrong, I didn't got my morning coffee

At present I am having enough issues to get the screenset ported to 5ltp , I was suggested to copy the UB1 section to 5LTP , did that but now it wont even open a 5LTP in demo mode ?

[sebba]

I'll try to modify it for 5lpt, too, but in the meantime, what happen if you select UB1 as device? I cannot tell you for sure, but I think will work.
In the default screenset I cannot see any difference between selecting 5LPT or UB1. If there are any, please let me know. Will help the proper porting process. Thanks

LE: try attached file. should work for UC300ETH UB1, AXBB and LPT5

Yes Delco Please pick it up. I have a 10 tool rack type system with a cnc depot FM30C Spindle that this screen would work great on.
Still haven't that out yet as far as macros.

I also have the UCCNC UC300ETH-Lpt with the CNC 4PC C94 board.

[sebba]

hacker, did you test it?
this macros collection is functional
maybe it needs some fixings but still have to work, even for UC300ETH_5LPT
to be sure, make a new install of UCCNC in different folder and try it there, not to affect your existing install
if you need help, let me know

Thanks , got it to work now to start moving stuff around so it is the same as my screenset I use

Hey seeba,no sir haven't tested it yet ,can't figure out the process of adding it to UCCNC. I've tried different things and just messed stuff up. I had to re-download UCCNC and try to start over.
Any tips on putting things into the correct folder?

[sebba]

ok, I'll try to make a short tutorial. You can do it even if you have UCCNC already installed because we will install it in different folder.

- get the v1.2117 from here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=240&start=50#p33262
- run the installer and select different folder for this install. I have my actual installation in C:\UCCNC\2117 and for this new install I'll use C:\UCCNC\2117_TEST. Of course, you can use any path you want.

Code: Select all

Destination location:
      C:\UCCNC\2117_TEST
Setup type:
      Full installation
Selected components:
      "Overwrite the default UCCNC profile and macros (recommended)"
         "Setup the default profile CV parameters for millimeters"
Start Menu folder:
      CNCdrive\UCCNC software TEST

- run the new installed UCCNC and check if everything is OK.
- go to SETTINGS - PROFILES and create a new profile named HTM. Select this new created profile and click LOAD. UCCNC will ask you for restart with new profile and selected device. Click yes and restart.

- download the HTM_ATC from here: https://github.com/Haimana/HTM_ATC/arch ... s/main.zip
- inside this zip file you'll see a folder named HTM_ATC-main. Go inside it and copy the content of this folder. NOT this folder, only what is inside it.
- paste inside the new install folder (C:\UCCNC\2117_TEST in my case). Some files will be overwritten, this is OK.

- download the last version of ssf file from here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5235&start=30#p34770
- extract the htm_ub1axbb5lpt.ssf file into Screens folder. This file will add support for AXBB and 5LPT devices, including initial UB1 too

- run the UCCNC (the new shortcuts should be on desktop)
- go to SETTINGS - APPEREANCE - SELECT SCREENSET and select htm_ub1axbb5lpt from the list and click SELECT button. Restart again.

After restart, you should have the main ATC page under TOOLS and also the ATC Setup page under SETTINGS, both unconfigured.
Now go to SETTINGS - GENERAL SETUP - MACROLOOPS and add 20100 and 20101 in the list. Click RUN for both of them. The running LEDs should turn green. Check Autorun for both. Save and then close that window.

That's all. It can be made also for an existing installation, but this could be a safer way for initial testing.
Good luck
