General Mach Discussion / tell mach3 over the LPT-Port the controller is busy.
« on: July 12, 2014, 08:28:16 PM »
Hello,
i'm more or less new to Mach3 CNC and using it with an WIN XP-PC and a to the LPT-Port connected DIY board for a very small 3D Printer. The connected motors are Stepper motors that are controlled through an impule for each step and the direction pin.
Unfortunately I experiencing one problem: Du to the machine setup, it would be very adventagorous to get the possibility to make the software wait as long as an certain input (for examplepin the BUSY PIN (11)) is set low (or high) before the next positioning impulses are given out. The Busy time may vary between an ms up to a minute.
I would be glad if someone could help me how to set it up, since I found nothing compareable in the user manual and in the forum
Thanks.
Best
