General Mach Discussion / Repeat paths & integration
« on: January 03, 2010, 09:10:49 PM »
I apologize if this is very trivial, but I've read through the Mach3 setup pdf and have a question on the best way to implement what I need.  I'm running an X3 mill, and would like to drive the X and Y axis with a Gecko G540 and some NEMA 23 steppers.  I want to be able to read an input from another panel to the G540 & Mach3 that triggers a simple code, then pulse an output back to my control panel to let it know that the cycle is complete.  The next time the input is triggered, I need a reverse version of the code to execute and again pulse an output.  I'll outline it below...

Wait for input, when true...
G01 X0.6 F2.0
G01 X1.2 F10.0
Pulse output

Thanks for your help!
