General Mach Discussion / Using two concurrent ports
« on: April 10, 2020, 02:51:24 PM »
I apologize if this is dealt with in another thread (and am happy to be directed there,) my search did not ID one.
I'm using Mach3 on Windows 10 with a Langmuir Crossfire Plasma CNC (w/ the CrossFire Mach3 USB Motion Controller Plugin.) The Crossfire controller does not easily support limit or home switches. I would like to build a small independent arduino system with a couple of limit/home switches and use it concurrently in Mach3 while also controlling the Crossfire.
Any chance that Mach3 is capable of using two ports, one for the step/dir CNC controls and another for limit/home switches?
thanks in advance,
--Tim
