SmoothStepper USB / Re: smooth stepper and modbus I/O

Thanks for your response Hood, That's a good idea with the logic. I think I will have to do the same thing.
 After some testing and curiosity I also checked some other Mach pin inputs. Home limits will not work either and you also get a SS message pins not assigned to SS.
But..... ESTOP does work???  So that means SS can see them.
 When I get time I will play around more, But for now changing some logic should get me back up and running.

Thanks again, Kid

Please post if you find out anything.

SmoothStepper USB / smooth stepper and modbus I/O

« on: April 28, 2012, 01:51:05 PM »

I had Mach system running thru parallel port with serial modbus from DL06 to control inputs/outputs and limit switches. Old computer with parallel port died. So i decided to upgrade to new computer with Windows 7 and go with Smooth Stepper plug-in. Everything seems to work but limit switches, I see the LEDs change state but no function. what I mean is: During testing if an axis is running (say X) and i trigger a over travel limit switch (X++) nothing happens, LED lights but axis keeps running. DL06 sends it, Mach gets it but Smooth Stepper seems to ignore it. Any ideas, or am i missing something in my configuration.
