Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Lua Script to disable and enable MPG Handwheel

Thanks again. I have the same setup you described but be off axis is just not wired to anything. I was thinking about wiring the power for the MPG encoder through the deadman switch but didn't know if I was going to get undesirable signals when it powers up and down each time I push the button. In Mach3 it has always worked fine for me so I was just hoping I could transition this same setup to mach4.

Thanks, CRS. It looks like your just selecting the "-1" axis. I will try this approach and see if it works.
Appreciate the help.

Mach4 General Discussion / Lua Script to disable and enable MPG Handwheel

« on: June 06, 2017, 01:49:49 PM »

Is there a command to disable and enable an MPG handwheel in Lua. I was thinking that mc.mcMpgSetShuttleMode() would work to turn it off and on but it's not working for me. I'm basically trying to set it up so that when the "deadman switch" is pressed the MPG is enabled. On release it's disabled.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
