Show media files on screen with M130 like HAAS

[dezsoe]

I haven't tried this yet, but just a thought I had when first reading it. Vectric products can save a 'Job Sheet' in html format.... Could this somehow look for this file and if present, open it for viewing? Would be kind of nice if it opened in a stand alone window instead of a browser in this case. Possibly adding a line to your PostP file that would ask if you would like to see it or not when loading a file. Just some thoughts on making use of this.

What kind of html is it? Does it contain pictures or just a description? Is is a fixed file name or the same as the g-code?

[dezsoe]

Hi Terry,

OK, I didn't know this, sorry. Now I understand why are there only pictures. It's a good idea not to post code that only runs on test versions. I ran into the same situation with this M130...

[dezsoe]

Yes! Aaaaand! If you name the image file the same as the g-code then I can change the macro to look for that file. The advantage is that it would not use any function that is not in the latest stable release (1.2047), so it could be run on that version too.

(Terry, the needs are different. I really hate anything that is fixed. While you like to have things in fixed folders, I prefer having them anywhere, but together. My jobs are sorted in a folder structure, so I would be very dissatisfied to store pictures in one folder and other files in another etc. And what I wold dislike the most is to store any data in the UCCNC folder! I almost never store programs and data on the same disk.)

Hi Dezsoe,

It can be any name, but generally the same as the design file like 'New_Summary.html' It's basically a web page and looks like this.

Here is a look at the setup sheet created By Fusion 360:

When I generate my gcode, Fusion creates automatically the same image shown in the top right corner of this setup sheet showing the placement of the work offset and the stock in transparent around the part.
The image is named the same as the gcode file.

Fusion also has the option of generating tool image and linking them in the gcode with M130 before each tool change! But I haven't managed to have Fusion generate the tool images and I don't know how. Images aren't generated but M130 is present for the tools.

The part is working!

Here is are the first few lines of the generated gcode:

Hi Blaise,

I had some issues with the html version. Now I don't have time to play with it, but later I'll try it again.

[Blaise]

I will be working with a newly installed and bran new HAAS CNC at work so I’ll keep an eye open for cool features! Love the dinamism in this place!

Hi Blaise,
Looking at the format Fusion 360 writes the M130 in Gcode Dezsoe's macro would need editing to work. I copied from Dezsoe's Macro and edited so should work without editing besides the folder location in macro to find images location.

**EdiT** You would need UCCNC 1.2102 version or higher.

Code: Select all

string m130 = exec.Getcurrgcodelinetext();
string output = m130.Split('(', ')')[1];
string Path = @"C:\UCCNC\Flashscreen\BMP\Defaultscreenset\"+ output; // put your path folder for images between quotations

if (System.IO.File.Exists(Path))
{
Form1 = new Form();
Form1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1000, 800);
Form1.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
Form1.Text = "Folder Path = "+Path;
Form1.AutoSize = true;

PictureBox pictureBox1 = new PictureBox();
pictureBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1000, 800);
pictureBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(10, 10);
pictureBox1.ImageLocation = Path;
pictureBox1.SizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.PictureBoxSizeMode.CenterImage;



Form1.Controls.Add(pictureBox1);

Form1.ShowDialog();
}

else {MessageBox.Show("File name "+output+" could not be found in folder path "+Path); return;}

#Events

Form Form1;

It can be any name, but generally the same as the design file like 'New_Summary.html' It's basically a web page and looks like this.

Hi Sword I missed your post, with Vectric software you would need to add the M130(New_Summary.html) manually to your Gcode but can be done with similar macro with a html file. I used the Example_codes folder in UCCNC with macro below to test with "C:\UCCNC\Example_codes" but can be edited to any folder to put your html file in.

M130.txt

Code: Select all

string m130 = exec.Getcurrgcodelinetext();
string output = m130.Split('(', ')')[1];
string Path = @"C:\UCCNC\Example_codes\"+ output; // put your path folder for image between quotations

if (System.IO.File.Exists(Path))
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Path);
MessageBox.Show(new Form() { TopMost = true }, "When this window is closed Gcode will continue");
}

else {MessageBox.Show("File name "+output+" could not be found in folder path "+Path); return;}

With that version it will not work. The function for getting the current code line was introduced in 1.2101, but it had an error which was fixed in version 1.2102, so the minimum version is 1.2102.
