VB and the development of wizards / Re: Arduino output as a input for mach3

As I told this is not my favorite topic.  By now  I have managed to work with tsc320 conneted on the top of my robot  to study color, if the ball there if it is pink, when it returns value =1, if any other color, value =0.
 In Mach3 input I can see the position 1 or 2 to change  if I  show to it pink or white ball, so it seems basicly to work.
The main question lies where dam can I find Mach3  VB Script to open it and write  the Macro150?.
I wonder if it s s possible that you might write me an example ?

Craig.  The idea is brilliant, but as you see you are dealing with an amateur. Could you write the needed macro and tell where in Mach3 I need to feed this macro as well?

VB and the development of wizards / Arduino output as a input for mach3

I  am constructing a robot arm to choose a red golfball from a group of golfballs of different colors. The balls are in a balanced que, the lowest always ready for the arm"fork " to come and fetch and deliver the ball based on the valid color knowledge from adruino to the waist baset or the red basket.

When used mach3 together with Adruino I can get in Adruduino output the color value 0-256 and in case of 170-256 the arm should "understand", that the present ball belongs to the red basket and react accordingly. In less that 170 values, the arm should turn abit more, to the next waistbasket.  My question is, is there anyway howto feed the Adrino output value to gcode and how to maniulate, teach the gcode to react accodingly.

 As You can see on my text, I am an ret basic school teacher and understand the coding less than my pupils used to know the difference between the alpabeths...
