Title: Link script to m8 and m9 command
Post by: smallpoul on January 10, 2020, 09:02:51 PM

I have create a m1000 and m1001 command to send http command to a smart switch for my dust collector. Everything work good but i will like to use the flood command so i was thinking to add m8 and m9 to the macro folder with my script but it does not work, what could i do to trigger m1000 when m8 is activate and m9 to m1001 when it desactivate.
Thanks

you can not "customize" M8/M9 macro, but
you can use macropump and GETOEMDRO(13) (Floot ON) to send your http commands.

Hi,
in Mach4 you can overwrite an existing m8/m9 with your own version, but not in Mach3.

I came with this code for the macro pump:

Code: [Select]

Dust_status = GetOEMLed(13)
Dust_Var = GetVar(500)

If Dust_status = -1 Then
If Dust_Var = 0 Then
message "Dust collector change to ON"
SetVar(500, 1)
Else
message "No change"
End If
End If

If Dust_status = 0 Then
If Dust_Var = 1 Then
message "Dust collector change to OFF"
SetVar(500, 0)
Else
message "No change"
End If
End If
Now how from the macropump i could execute the m1000 and m1001 command

Thanks

do not call a macro from a macro, yust copy yout code from M1000/M1001 into macropump.
