Title: Connecting External Toggle switches?
Post by: pjd on November 15, 2010, 03:57:43 AM
Hi All,

I am sure there is a simple solution to this problem but after trying all sorts of brains and OEMs my own brain is starting to wear out.

I am putting a small control panel on my machine and have fitted a couple of toggle switches for the Feedhold and Single Step functions, this is so I can have hard wired LEDs in the buttons to show when they are active.  The trouble comes when I try to get this to work in Mach as these functions seem to only have toggle inputs. No matter what I try I can only get them to operate every second time round.

Does anyone know how each of these functions can be controlled by a single ON/OFF input?  Instead of Push On, Push Off?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer a solution!

Cheers

Pete
