Assign the input as a limit switch?

Hello,

Thanks for you reply.

But I think no, because I'm using Mach3 for this machine, you can watch on YouTube:

I need to stop the movement if Nail Gun is in the below, and when he back on the top the movement can be done.

So I think I should write macro to wait (sleep) until Input * is active...

But I'm wondering why there is no such thing to stop axis while G-Code is running to stop movement if button is pressed and when is realease G-Code can be resumed.....

Also I have tried to write a Brain (Input 1 -> No operation -> OEM @250 Inhibit axis movement X) but it's not working while G-Code is running.

Thanks for your answer, if you have any suggestion I will kindly accept it.

Best wishes,
Thanks!

Have the button trigger the Feedhold.

Hi,

i think you have to "split" this into two parts.

part 1 witch is in the macro what enables the nailer.
here you have to wait for the Input after the nailing something like this:

Code: [Select]


'wait for Input1
While Input1 = false
Sleep(200)
Wend


part 2 will be in macropump, and only stop X-Axis if x-Axis is running and Input1 is off

Code: [Select]


IF ((GetoemDRO(806) > 0) and (Input1 = False)) Then
  DoOEMButton(1003)
End If

Hello,

Very good idea Thomas, thanks.

Can you please explain me what are you calling "macropump" ?

IF ((GetoemDRO(806) > 0) and (Input1 = False)) Then
  DoOEMButton(1003)
End If

Thanks.

OK, no problem.

in your macrofolder (normaly  C:\Mach3\macros\yourprofilename)
should be a macro called macropump.m1s .
if not create one with Texteditor and put These code in:

Code: [Select]


Sub Main()

  IF ((GetoemDRO(806) > 0) and (Input1 = False)) Then
    DoOEMButton(1003)
  End If

End Sub


make sure that in Config -> General Config -> Run Macro Pump is enabled.
Restart Mach3

test.
