Under Construction!

If you only want to run/execute the progam
then just run c:\mgui\luberth\runcstep.bat from within windows3.1/95/98/2000/me/xp
or for smooth motor control from REAL MODE DOS (not a Dos box/window)

Next is only for people that would like to edit/modify/compile the source code

HOWTO COMPILE & EDIT THE SOURCE
With DOS BorlandC Version 3.1

You need BorlandC V3.1 Have it, Buy it or Find it
Not Legal (Links) 1 BorlandC V3.1 2 BorlandC V3.1 3 BorlandC V3.1

Unpack the source zip file at C:\ (so you get c:\mgui & c:\mgui\luberth & c:\mgui\sys)
IMPORTANT: has to be c:\mgui\ otherwise there may be a problem finding files

My BorlandC is located at c:\borlandc\bin\bc.exe
execute bc.exe

Menu => Help => About shows the version

Open the project file
Menu => Project => Open project

Open project located at c:\mgui\luberth\cstep.prj

Menu => Options => Directories
My borlandc is located at C:\BORLANDC\ some people have it at C:\BC\
Mgui is at c:\mgui

The project file may come up with
BorlandC located at G:\ change G to C
or BorlandC located at C:\BC\
Important: change it to match your locations

Menu => Compile => Build all
NOTE: at the bottom "project window" you can see the 2 incuded files from MGUI
these are the 2 mgui include files for borland located at c:\mgui\lib\bgimgui.lib and c:\mgui\lib\bormgui.lib

Project compiled

More BorlandC settings screenshots

Running the CSTEP program
Execute c:\mgui\luberth\cstep.exe
or better c:\mgui\luberth\runcstep.bat wich gives you a choice wich screen resolution to use

Running the program in Borland envirement does not work (maybe possible if you now how to set settings)
I use to run the programs in windows 95 so i can switch (alt+tab) between programs (borlandc, Mgui designer, cstep.exe)
this way i can run the compiled c:\mgui\luberth\cstep.exe or runcstep.bat
Altough stepper control under windows isnt perfect => its good enough for testing the program

MGUI Designer/Editor

Mgui designer there is a Dos and windows version
dos designer is located at c:\mgui\dos_bin\designer.exe
windows designer is located at c:\mgui\win_bin\designer.exe
(switching between dos en win designer results in color differences after compiling)
I use the windows designer = c:\mgui\win_bin\designer.exe

Menu => File => Open c:\mgui\luberth\screens\cstep.md

Play with the designer to figure out what it can do for you
if you click on a button you can edit the actions etcetera

Example of editing the start button => what to do when the startbutton is clicked on the main screen

When your done editing
Let the designer generate the code for the screen => menu => Generate => Generate C Code
For CStep.md you must check the box include MGUIMain
The other md files in the directory c:\mgui\luberth\screens\ do not include the MGUIMain chekbox

Then compile the generated source again with BorlandC
And run the compiled c:\mgui\luberth\cstep.exe to see the result
