i want to make something like a pick and place. With work coordinates i leave from point A then i go leave something to place B then return to point A and if a sensor detects the item in part A, i proceed other wise i wait for the signal. So i think always when g code is running for the specific job.....

Leave from point A go to point B return to point A if the signal is on then go to point B or just wait

No just to check during a g code procedure a signal if it's triggered above a specific coordinate to wait or to go. That's all.

I mean this is exactly what I want but only above a specific coordinate to do the checking.

I want it to wait when it is above one certain coordinate  x... y...z... and check one input only. So if you could add an example of coordinates at your script I ll buy you a beer. Thank you Craig

To write a script for Mach 4 though i can type it in a notepad right? I shouldn't need any lua software to write a simple script of  if - else commands etc.
Also i found somewhere that in Mach 3 within the configuration i can register OEM input pin 1 as 1000 for start cycle and OEM input pin 2 as 1002 for freehold.
Would't this work?
