Mach4 General Discussion / Implementation of physical buttons
« on: June 18, 2018, 12:47:14 PM »
Current setup:

Mach4 hobby
ESS with C25s expansion board
C11s BOB
Charter Oak 12z mill with steppers.

Currently I am building a custom control panel with MPG and physical buttons to do:cycle start, feed hold, stop, rewind, enable, toggle coolant, feed override up and feed override down.  I also have a rotary switch to select jog increment and another to select axis to jog.

  I have done no scripting and the last language I used to write a program was DOS. I had kinda figured how to do what I wanted with DoOEMbuttons in mach3, but there were not enough inputs available.  From what I can tell, there is no direct replacement in Mach4, and that I will have to learn PMC and/or programming in Lua.  Is this a correct assessment or did I miss a better way to implement?
