Title: GCODE VAR MONITOR and BRAINS
Post by: lasersafe on November 20, 2009, 12:17:28 PM

Posted days ago in the Brains category but got no response.  Can anyone out there explain the GCODE VAR MONITOR that is on the Operator pulldown?  Can this watch for a certain newly created symbol in my Gcode and read the value?  Can a BRAIN then catch that value and act upon it to fire an output on and off?  Ultimately I'm looking for a symbol that can turn a laser on and off without the latency normally associated with VB scripts or even Z axis direction bit control.

Thanks - John
