Hi Gene, On Vancouver Island so other end of the country and about 4 days by road if one is not driving 24/7.
Thanks for the code fragment. Very helpful. I do have two buttons # **** Tag buttons **** net remote-rapid-to-Z-home halui.mdi-command-16 <= pyvcp.rapid-to-Z-home net remote-rapid-to-XY-home halui.mdi-command-17 <= pyvcp.rapid-to-XY-home And they are coupled to the system in the .INI file along with the pendant buttons as #16 and #17 in the list to create the G-Code for motion. [HALUI] # These are the commands for the HB04 and PyVCP screen buttons. # a halui hal pin is created for each MDI_COMMAND below # halui.mdi-command-00, halui.mdi-command-01,... etc # MDI_COMMAND=G0 X0 Y0 Z0 MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-01) MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-02) #03 M110: clears notifications MDI_COMMAND=M110 MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-04) MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-05) MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-06) #07 M101: example print to stdout MDI_COMMAND=M101 MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-08) MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-09) MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-10) MDI_COMMAND=(debug, example: mdi-11) #12 Set current physical X position to be 0 MDI_COMMAND= G10 L20 P0 X0 #13 Set current physical Y position to be 0 MDI_COMMAND= G10 L20 P0 Y0 #14 Set current physical Z position to be 0 MDI_COMMAND= G10 L20 P0 Z0 #15 Set current physical A position to be 0 MDI_COMMAND= G10 L20 P0 A0 # 16 pyVCP button Full speed to Z0 MDI_COMMAND= G0 Z0 MDI_COMMAND= G0 X0 Y0 If I understand the HAL file code then your mister is totally controlled by the slider. No simple button for ON/OFF?
