Thank you for your reply.
I should have elaborated more.
I am going to be using mach3 with kisslicer and a wire feed welder to create a 3d printer. I am trying to get a solenoid to mechanically oscillate the wire proportional to the feedrate acceleration and deceleration. I need it to oscillate so the wire wont stick. I understand I can use a brain to enable/disable a relay when the A-axis is moving and use the A-axis direction pin so it will only turn on when moving in one direction. This is how I plan to control the welder, Unless I can also get 0-10v to do that also. I think I could use an arduino to control the rate of oscillation if I can give the arduino a 0-10v proportional to the A-axis feedrate . But I don't know if I can in any way get a voltage output from the A-axis in mach. Also its a welder so I'm trying to stay away from arduino do to the likely noise.
