Mach4 General Discussion / Keyboard to set Feed Hold

« on: August 10, 2021, 04:19:26 PM »

How do I set a "Feed Hold" or "Stop" function using keyboard entry?  I want the Esc key to cause my machine to stop.  I had this working in Mach3 but can't figure out how to do it in Mach4.  I'm using port 1, pin 13 as an E-Stop.  Is there a way to trip this with a keyboard entry?

General Mach Discussion / Mach2 verses Mach3?

« on: June 29, 2006, 11:11:52 AM »

I'm new here.  Used to frequent the Yahoo Groups forum, but not for a couple years.  My homebuilt CNC router has been working very well with Mach2 for several years, but now I'm considering updating to Mach3.  What differences/improvements can I expect?  Will Mach3 automatically utilize my current system settings or will it require reconfiguration?  Any inputs are appreciated.

ps: Is this forum the preferred place to discuss Mach products now?  I see that Yahoo Groups is still active.  Is it necessary to monitor both forums to stay current?
