General Mach Discussion / Re: asynchronous M10/M11 alternative

« on: January 27, 2015, 01:01:11 AM »

I'm not sure what you mean by instantaneous, my issue is that m10/m11 does not turn stuff on directly but requires a Gx command. If there's a way doing it with scripting that's fine, i just want to control my outputs individually of axis movement. Any pointers to a tutorial or example? I find the Mach3 documentation to be .. underwhelming (haven't found a single peep about M10/M11 in the official documentation, had to scour the internet for an hour or so before i stumbled upon it).

Thanks!

While that works, i am going to have to use all of the axis outputs in the near future so it's only a very temporary fix..

I need to be able to turn outputs on/off from g-code but can't seem to do it any way other than using M10/M11 which is a problem since they require axis movement in order to be active - something i don't want. Any hints on how to do this? In LinuxCNC you'd use M64/M65 - any similar option for Mach3?

Thanks
