Title: Machine status light
Post by: attila0216 on October 04, 2015, 09:43:40 AM

Good Morning to all. Today i could write a brain which enables a green led when g code running, BUT I need a little help from someone who could help me to write a brain which triggers an outpout when i press feedhold on mach3 and than this output would flash the yellow led on my machine stack light. Also another brain for when i click on stop, machine's Red  led active and when reset e-stop clicked red led is flashing.

Thank you in advance

Hi, as an example. Have a look at the one on CS-Labs website. I have it running on my machine without any problems.

Have you assigned the buttons (inputs) and the lights (outputs) in mach3?

You can use OEM triggers for the buttons if you are using a button panel. 

You can use brains or you can use a macropump.

Same goal achieved in the end.
