new one hit buttons question

[midy]

I'm still learning intercon (very slowly ) Is there anywhere in the manual explaining the new one hit buttons in VCP? I can't seem to get them to do anything?

[cnckeith]

what do you mean be "not do anything?

[midy]

I press the buttons and nothing happens

You must set these Parameters

P188=56
P189=57
P190=58
P191=59
P192=60

Then it will work.
Maybe next release will set them on the lathe by default.

Thanks Uwe.

Put those parms and still nothing happens when pressing the new one hit buttons?

I'm sure it's something i'm missing but tried everything i can think of

I will test it later on my lathe.

Currently I am using a custom VCP.

From the VCP buttons definition in his report:
"One Shot Chamfer" sends skin event 19.
The PLC recognizes skin event 19 as Aux11, and uses it to trigger "DoAux11Key"
"DoAux11Key" would run whatever function you specified with Parameter 198.

"One Shot Turn" sends skin event 20.
The PLC recognizes skin event 20 as Aux12, and uses it to trigger "DoAux12Key"
"DoAux12Key" would run whatever function you specified with Parameter 199.

"One Shot Lathe Facing" sends skin event 66, Aux13, DoAux13Key, Parameter 292.

"One Shot Radius" sends skin event 67, Aux14, DoAux14Key, Parameter 293.

"One Shot Lathe Drill" sends skin event 68, Aux15, DoAux15Key, Parameter 294.

So you need to set some parameters, as Uwe indicated, but not parameters 188-192. Instead you need to set those values in parameters 198, 199, 292, 293 and 294.

thanks, we will get that fixed up for rev7

[midy]

ok thanks. So does that now mean that the parameters I changed are now going to cause other issues? Can't remember what they were actually set to before changing them, is zero a good idea to put back in there (P188 to P192)?
