General Mach Discussion / Turn on an Output? Shamefully simple?

« on: November 18, 2010, 10:36:40 PM »

All-

I give up...  What command, OEM code, M-Code, or whatever do I use to turn on a given output pin from Mach3???  I want to make a screen to turn on or off the ~15 digital outputs my BOB has, but at the simplest level I just want to know what to do inside MACH first.  Of course I know how to use m-codes for the pre-defined outputs like spindle, coolant, etc but how do I manipulate an output that's not hardcoded to an M-Code?  Seems like a very basic thing but I don't find a word about it in the Mach manual, or in the hundreds of messages I get after entering various search words on the forum... 

HELP!!!

Mach3 and G-Rex / G100 OEM Codes? - Please Help!

« on: November 16, 2010, 12:08:23 AM »

All-

Please help- I've successfully used a G100 for basic movement for several years now, but lately I have found a need to start using more of the output pins.  I thought I would start simple and use Screen 4 to design an easy layout to manually turn on and off the 16 digital outputs, but I ran into a snag- I can't find the OEM codes to assign to the button/LEDs I want to drop into my dedicated G100 screen...  Were there special G100 OEM codes that control/monitor all the inputs/outputs of the G100, or have I missed something?!?!?  Please help!
