General Mach Discussion / Z touch plate, using alternate input
« on: August 07, 2014, 10:41:17 AM »
Hello,
I've had to redo my machine, and my Mach setup. (Long Story) I've updated to latest version on Mach3 (plus addons)
But I'm to the point where I want to set up my auto zero for my Z. Then I can do my first "air" test cuts.
I want to use the touch plate mechanism, but.. I also want to use an input other than the probe port.
I want to do digitizing with my machine as well... I want my touch plate and my digitizer probe to co-exist on my setup. But if my research is correct, one wants to be active low, and the other active high. I don't want to go into setup-ports-and-pins, everytime I switch between activities. (cause I know I'll forget, and bugger something).
I've got the BOB wired, so I'm OK there.
I need an auto zero VB script that will use on of the generic input (say input 1) instead of the "Digitizing" input.
Thank-you in advance...
