Title: Filter for Start LED, OemLed(804)
Post by: Mattw on September 05, 2011, 06:49:38 PM

OK, you smart fellers, maybe you can help me out.
OEM LED 804 is on when running a g-code program, but it also flickers on when you load a new g-code program or regen toolpath.  Is there a different LED, or something with which I can filter 804 so I can tell ONLY when I'm actually running a program vs. performing a regen?

(BTW, if anyone is customizing their system and hasn't spent the $10 on MachMAD, I can tell you it'll be the best $10 you ever spend.  I just picked it up and it has already proven useful.  Nice work, Pappa.)

Well, that works quite nicely.  Thanks a bunch!  The bad part is that appears that 179 is a "secret LED", as it doesn't show up in any of my lists or even the MachMAD pull down, and now I'm afraid the Men In Black are going to show up at my door and nerualize me.

I've been working off of the spreadsheet I downloaded from here named Mach_OEM_codes...maybe a year or two ago.  Is there a better, more complete list out there?

Thanks again!

OK BUT this is a secret source only known by a few people(;-) Don't tell anyone I showed you where it is hidden. At theTale end of the book is a led,dro,button reference

Would be really nice to have a bug list somewhere too. Sick of locating them only to find out they were there there since 2006 or better.

I like the ftp site to get some older info

ftp://www.machsupport.com/

I just don't know why all the files are not found in the folders in that location.
