Hi guys... Next silly newbie question....
I am making good progress getting this atc router working but a bit stuck trying to get the external button on the spindle to release the tool.
I have searched and found that I need to wire this external button to a spare input on my BOB then connect this to an oem trigger and use the correct oem code to activate the output. As directed in this link:
http://www.cnczone.com/forums/mach_mill/94502-mach_3_cycle_start_button.htmlI am not quite sure where I am going wrong but think it maybe that I am using the wrong oem code. I have found the most recent oem code list but cannot find one for turn on output 3. There are codes for output 4+ on and off but the best I could find was Output 3/Extrn3 Active LED 854 both in the spread sheet and wiki.
So here is where I am at so far:
Oem trig #2 mapped to port 2 pin 2
The tool release is mapped to output 3 port 2 pin 14
OEM trigger connected to OEM code 854
The fact that the codes for triggers one two and three are not easy to find makes me think they are not for general use? Do I need to rewire to use another output? Have I missed something blindingly simple?
Lastly once I get this to work can I expect it to only activate the output as long as the button is held in or will it act like a toggle needing one press to release the clamp and one to close it?
Any help is much appreciated as my hair is fast being pulled out!
