Title: turning on outputs in prokey 55 from mach3
Post by: sgaugetrains on September 26, 2012, 09:32:47 PM

Hi all;
I know there has to be an easy way to do this. So a Goof Ball like me can do it, I have zero programing skills, none!
I have a prokeys 55 on my computer and I get all the inputs to work, I push the button mach3 responds.
Now I want to get a output when the z axes or any other is running in + direction. Can't do it. I have the newest plug-in installed from prokeys, as all I want to do is turn on a led on a external panel.

Any ideas will be much appreciated

Hi,
the only idea that I would have is to read out the " To Go " DRO by a brain
when its value is positive then aktivate the output.
that only will work in MDI or or AUTO mode. not by manual jogging.
