General Mach Discussion / Custom M Code
« on: February 05, 2014, 10:11:36 PM »
I am trying to set up a custom M code to switch an electric relay (c15 from CNC4PC) for a peripheral electric devise (an electromagnetic valves, not coolant). I wrote the custom M macros to activate and deactivate the output and saved the m codes in the macro folder. When I run the m codes manually in diagnostic screen I see the assigned output # light up but I cannot get the virtual parallel port pin to light up on the screen. I tried with active lo and active hi. Also, when I manually checked with a voltage meter I am not getting voltage on the pin.
Am I missing something? I am very very new to this, but I have ready everything I can find trying to resolve this issue and no luck. I am still running the demo, is there a demo limitation that would limit the custom M outputs?? Yes, I know, I will pay for the full version soon - just not quite in the budget yet, blew my money on the CNC hardware kit I'm still putting together.
Thanks for any help!
