Hi Mauri,
I know the feeling....tough to do sometimes but walk away and have a go another day.
It also prevents the Enable on Mach4 with this MPG.
My pendant works the same way, with the pendant in Estop I cannot in any way shape or form
cause Mach4 to enable short of either removing the Estop condition from the pendant or removing
it.
One thing that I have noticed, and gave me a little grief when I first set it up is that if the pendant is NOT PLUGGED
in to the USB socket PRIOR TO POWER UP of the PC it wont work if I plug in in thereafter. Now that its working it
never is disconnected and so the 'fault/condition/situation' has never recurred.
If I recall correctly when I caused this fault by plugging in the pendant after power up and firing up Mach it caused
Mach to go cranky as well. It has been some time so my recollection may be a bit vague.
I had to enable the pendant plugin in Machs plugin page, but thats it. There is no settings page or anything.
I did have to configure an MPG in Machs MPG setup page, I presume the pendant MPG subs itself in...
I believe I got one of the first of VistaCNCs Mach4 plugins, its about 18 months old. How things have changed
since I don't know.
I have never heard of anyone getting a pendant with an LCD screen to work yet, I don't mean to say that they don't
but just that I haven't heard anyone say 'yeah I got it to work' whereas I've heard a few say 'I cant get my LCD equipped
pendant to work'.
When I get home I'll see if I can find any more info. My development PC melted down over Xmas, the only copy of the plugin
is now on my machine...and I'm not going out there tonight, cold as a witches tit here!
