General Mach Discussion / Notebook & MPG question

« on: March 01, 2009, 06:02:39 PM »

My MPG works ok with my mill and I can select different axes by pressing Alt A on the keyboard. I have used one of the input pins of the parallel port of my notebook for Emergency Stop, the other two for the MPG. I’m left with two empty input pins that I want to use them for selecting two of the mill axes by turning the selector knob on the MPG pendant for faster setup.
My question is:  How I should connect the MPG pins to input pins and how Mach3 should be informed about this connection?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
