Tips & Tricks / Re: CREATE YOUR OWN GIF IMAGE AND ASSIGN TO AHMI GifAnimator
« on: November 12, 2024, 01:15:31 PM »
Just to continue this self-promotion started in my previous post but still relevant to this topic, there is now a new viewer / converter which I call IMG2MESH and it can be seen here:

   https://githubdragonfly.github.io/viewers/templates/IMG2MESH.html

It is specifically designed to convert loaded image to a basic 3D mesh which can then be exported as an animated GIF or PNG file (rely on the bounding 500 x 500 pixels rectangle in the center of the screen for sizing and positioning the mesh - this rectangle should be visible when exporting). Also, hover the mouse over controls to see a popup description of any viewer's control.

Basic mouse functionality in the viewer: scroll button will zoom in/out, left button click-hold-drag will rotate the mesh, right button click-hold-drag will position the mesh.

There is a bunch of supported image formats but the best effect is achieved with images that have built-in transparency. Check the attached picture of the AHMI Logo.

If exporting to animated PNG file then try setting some background in the viewer by using the "BGND" button (might help to avoid some artifacts appearing due to motion and transparency). Also try it without a background for comparison.

As stated previously, use ezgif to manipulate the exported animated GIF or PNG file.

Support Questions / Re: Adding Existing Controls as Members of New Control
« on: October 26, 2024, 01:39:40 AM »
I doubt that anyone is going to provide any direct solution for you, mainly because of the fact that you are trying to create a custom control.

Since you are the only person who knows your setup and your code then it's only you who can solve this.
Just make sure to test your solution thoroughly before you deploy it.

If you can stick with using the GroupBox that might just produce the least headache.

Additional Components / Re: Ping Button

I wouldn't be looking to update this control any further but this should not prevent you or anyone else from trying to modify it.

Since the IP addresses are in the control's IPAddressCollection property then see if you could manipulate the code to actually populate this list with the entries from ini file.

Another option could be to use the enabled property and disable the button, maybe change its text to something else while it is disabled.

See this topic and its "Event - Mouse Down" section that disables the button (Reply #6):

Enabling or disabling byte and / or word swap in the driver itself should only be done if your BasicLabel displays incorrect values (which don't match what's in the PLC).

I think that there should be only 1 correct combination that produces correct values (not a 100% sure about this).

Also, check the following topic about formatting the text in the BasicLabel:

Just to show how read values differ, here is a picture of simulated reading of decimal value 31.4 stored at F40014 address.

You could also consider enabling or disabling byte and word swap in the driver itself if all the values are continuosly weird.

MrOverCast, you should expand your testing and include more BasicLabel controls to cover surrounding addresses as well.

With 3 labels you can have each poll separate address, like F40013 and F40014 and F40015 just to see if any label might show a correct value.
The same goes for F40021 address.

You would be reading values only, so this should not affect your VFD at any time.

As Archie suggested, use a BasicLabel first.

You could as well put 3 of the BasicLabels controls next to each other and address them differently: F400024, F400025, F400026.
One of them should show the correct value.

You should get in touch with the manufacturer of any Modbus Gateway you might have been checking out.

Ask them if their device can both send and receive.

If those posts don't make any sense then delete them.

You can always give them a chance to make sense by responding to their posts.

Just my opinion.

Did you add the same driver to Page2 as the one you have on the MainForm?

In Visual Studio, when you look at your controls on Page2 each one of them should have a driver assigned for communication.

As bachphi suggested, keep in mind that AdvancedHMI is a VB Net project so some of your questions might just be VB Net related in which case you should use Google search. There might be several different ways of achieving the same outcome so read as many of the search results as necessary.

Also, don't get stuck with just one AdvancedHMI project - scrap it if necessary and start fresh or even have multiple AdvancedHMI projects handy to test different things.

If you are doing this for a U.S. company and they can afford it then check the main AdvancedHMI page, which has a banner that states: "Training classes offered both at our facility or yours. Classes for up to 6 people for only $600 per day".

I am not sure if this is offered virtually as well, you can always ask Archie.

Considering how many questions you have asked so far, it might take them a single day to actually explain in details how to go about using this software.

Other than what is suggested above, take your time to learn this yourself and check all the topics available in this forum.

Also check all available videos and to get you started here is the AdvancedHMI YouTube channel and a topic that covers some others:
