Went to said line that the error code stipulated. Somehow i figured my problem.

I had saved my MPC as LED control. Didn't like the space there. Saved it again to LEDcontrol. Compiled, boom. Works.

Thanks to everyone!

Setting it from the control--> output works like a charm.

But, I get this error when trying the PMC way.
It works just fine in the live simulation...

Mach4 General Discussion / Activate custom output pin via machine enable button

« on: November 28, 2019, 10:24:38 PM »

Hi everyone, first post.

I am running Mach 4 with ethernet smooth stepper.
Basically, I want to change the colors of a LCD strip based on the machine status (motors enabled, cycle started, etc.)

In my ESS configuration, I have set output 49 to port3 pin 9
I managed to create a button that pulls the pin high when I press it.

What I want is for it to pull high when I press the "Enable" button (the one that enables machine controls), and pull it low when I press disable

same for spindle start and cycle start


where can I find the script that this button calls
what lines do I need to add

So far I have only found scripts regarding the screen (LUA)

Thanks!
