    How to pass strings from kflop to mach3?

    Anyone knows if there's a way to pass a string of text from a kflop custom C program to mach3?
    My goal is to "print" text into a custom mach3 screen set?

    Thanks,

    François Legrand

    Hi François,

    No we don't have a mechanism for that. The problem is I'm not aware of a means of sending/receiving a string between Mach3 Basic and our Plugin.

    Would it be possible to upload an numeric code and convert it to a string in Mach3.

    There is a mechanism to write text to a PC Disk File so that might be a workaround.

    Regards

    Thanks, I think both workarounds would work.
