Watch for a breakdown of machine coordinates, work coordinates, homing, zeroing, and setting your soft limits in Mach4.


New script to turn on soft limits after homing:

---------------------------------------------------------------
-- Ref All Home() function.
---------------------------------------------------------------
function RefAllHome()
mc.mcAxisDerefAll(inst) --Just to turn off all ref leds
mc.mcAxisHomeAll(inst)
coroutine.yield() --yield coroutine so we can do the following after motion stops
----See ref all home button and plc script for coroutine.create and coroutine.resume
wx.wxMessageBox('Referencing is complete.\nSoft Limits Set.')
SetSoftlimits()
end

-------------------------------------------------------
-- Set Soft Limits
-------------------------------------------------------
function SetSoftlimits()
for v = 0, 5, 1 do --start, end, increment
mc.mcSoftLimitSetState(inst, v, mc.MC_ON)

end
scr.SetProperty("tbtnSoftLimits", "Button State", tostring(1))
scr.SetProperty("tbSoftLimits", "Button State", tostring(1))

end
