G-REX Outputs

[mhdale]

Hello All, I have just got my G-Rex hooked up and actually talking and have started designing the screen interface for our machine. I have a question about outputs on the GREX. I am new to the G-Rex and not quite a newby to Mach but I have noticed that when my MACH is in an estop - and I push a screen button that activates an output, my outputs will still strobe on briefly. I was wondering if this is a bug or something? This could cause some disastrous problems with the machine we are putting together. I can put a safety relay on the estop circuit which would disable any output I was just wondering if this is "normal"

That is a strange one! This will be an art question when he gets back. I haven't noticed that one but mine is buried in a cabinet and i still am on an older version of the software. ( I am waiting for some of the bugs to shake out)

I dont know what to say Chad, at first I thought that My code was screwy or I had not implemented my I/O correctly then I noticed that I had not "RESET" my mach on startup, once I did that everything did what it was supposed to do.... but not until after the Large port air valve cleaned off my desk for me If anyone else out there has a GREX hooked up and running the laetst firmare try hitting your mach reset button then turning an output on.... It could just be me, historically I am a murphy magnet, I attract odd and unusual behavior in all things mechanical and electrical.
