Hi,
Looking that info for Mach4 won't do me a whole lot of good yet.......
You don't really need to, all that information is what gets loaded into the Mach Control and ESS
plugins. The configuration pages of the respective plugins is by far preferable when setting up.
Right now I am stuck on how Machmotion uses an E-stop.
Do yourself a favor and ditch the way they did it, by the time you work out how they did it you could easily
configure the whole machine in less time.
Hook your Estop switch direct to a input pin on your BoB. Configure that pin in the ESS plugin as an input
and then attach it to Machs EStop signal, again in the ESS Input Signal plugin tab.
Leave the control panel out of it entirely.....you can do everything you require WITHOUT using an external panel.
Once you have Mach and your machine set-up and running THEN come back and start to hook up the panel.
Just focus on the Estop, then the step/direction signals, then spindle output, then the Home switches, then the limits,
then the probe inputs. Then start to worry about a control panel and pendant.
