Re: MDI input with direct BB connection
Never noticed the monitor port. I have my controller permanently mounted on a 26x26x12" NEMA 3 enclosure with a clear plastic insert in door to see display. I haven't seen the back of the controller in 2 years The monitor use without the networking must be very useful. I gotta say, the hardware for ...

Re: MDI input with direct BB connection
So how does the video work in that direct interface method? Where would you hook a video display?

Re: End stop kills setup.
Yeah it's before it's homed. Trying to move the carriage to a closer location so it home is faster there seems to be an awful lot of either delay or stored integration of the input signal from The controller joystick and so continues moving quite a ways when you let go of the joystick.

Re: Printing parameters on display
So, I tried (debug, print this) and nothing shows on web interface, nor in logs.
This is on version xx.xx.11
Can't use a lsterversion due to this bug: https://github.com/buildbotics/bbctrl-f ... issues/254

Re: Code execution does not seem to follow if else and o numbers
I just put a msg command in every if else endif location, and it DOES just fall thru an ELSE at about 4 levels deep.

Re: Printing parameters on display
I completely forgot about debug. I'm pretty sure that messages don't print out the value that is print out the characters that you typed I either name of the variable not the value.

Printing parameters on display
I live a long ways from the machine I'm programming for, so I can't test things out quickly and easily. Is it possible to write messages that will display parameters on the screen of the buildbotics controller? I am building some radiases and other cuts that I want to plot by hand before I run it an...
