General Mach Discussion / Re: Z axis on/off

Put code in the MacroPump.m1s like this:

if(GetDRO(2 < 0.0 ) Then
   ActivateSignal(Output1)
else
  Deactivatesignal(Output1)
end if

There is a Wiki on the support page telling how to do a Macro pump under the Modio.. Hope that helps

This can be done a few ways.. We could have the Macropump look at the Zvalue and IF it is Negitive will push the Zdown and if it is positive it will pick it up.


Is that what you are looking for?

Put a wire from the Ground to an input pin and you will see the LED on the Grex light up After that use Port zero and The pin number of  the Grex...

Can you get the output to turn on and off in the VB editor? If so I think you are saving the macro in the wrong place. Save the Macro in the Mach3/Macros/Mach3mill (Or what ever the profile name is...)

Hope that helps

I/O can be done up to 24V but I think you are going to end up doing it at 12V because that is the power supply that you have

Thanks

The only way that I have done it is with a PLC and an analog pot But if you hook up two buttons (one for feed up and one for feed down) I can get them to work in Mach3
