Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 API Help - Jogging
« on: August 24, 2016, 09:47:26 AM »
Hi,
I am trying to get the physical buttons on a Boxford VMC190 to work with Mach4. I am using a Pokeys56U and have mapped them buttons as inputs.
I can see the input change state in the Machine Diagnostics screen so that is all good.
I have also setup keys like the Enable/Disable and Cycle Start, Feed Hold etc using the API and this works well. What I cant find is what API functions control motion.
Can anybody give me any pointers? These are some of the things I would like to map to buttons:
- Jog each axis.
- Toggle between Cont Jog and Inc.
- Change the feed rate
- Change the Inc scale
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Marv
