Mach4 Toolbox / Re: LUA help

I have a similar setup in my mori seiki. I too am having trouble with writing the code needed to get this to function. Have you had any luck?

PoKeys / Re: Pokeys57cnc mach3 onboard Relay

Thank you. That will be much easier than writing script to do it. Im probably going to end up using a relay board like the PoEXT.

I am referring to the Mach 4 plugin. I have the enables mapped to the onboard relays. In doing so it throws the error of them being mapped to an unknown source.  They are mapped in the mach4 configuration.

Ive been doing that for days now Im lost. I dont understand lua at all thats why Im trying to use PMC. Ive gotten a few things figured out but dont know where to start with getting the current and selected tools. Thank you though. Im trying to setup my lathe tool changer. It's a turret style 8 position that uses a combination of 5 limit switches to determine position of the turret. As to say when both limit switches 1 and 2 are tripped its in position 1 and when LS 1 and 4 are tripped its in position4. I also need to output FWD and REv to a vfd to run the motor on the turret while activating a relay to operate a hydraulic solenoid to unlock the turret and monitor its own limit switch.

How do I get selected tool and current tool into PMC. Also how do I start a PMC file from M6?

Mach4 Toolbox / Re: creating a signal name

I found away using PMC and mapping signals to do what I need but being able to name and call your own signals would be nice.

Mach4 Toolbox / creating a signal name
« on: July 23, 2017, 04:40:42 PM »
How does one go about creating a new signal group like the spindle group with mc.mcOSIG_SPINDLEON, and mc.mcOSIG_SPINDLEFWD? The signal groups I would like to create are a chuck group with mc.mcOSIG_CHUCKCLOSE, and mc.mcOSIG_CHUCKOPEN. And a group for the tailstock as well.

For buttons with Pokeys. Have you tried to use the keyboard matrix feature in the plugin config?

Mach4 Toolbox / script help for lathe chuck control
« on: July 23, 2017, 03:37:02 AM »
I'm new to scripting and I'm having trouble writing a script to not only turn on a relay that controls my hydraulic chuck solenoid with a m10 call but also disable and start a different relay when m11 is called I also need to keep the spindle from being able to run unless the output for m11 is active. In other words the spindle vfd wont be enabled unless the clamp relay is set high. Let's call output0 the clamp relay and output1 the unclamp relay. So they also cannot be enabled at the same time. Ugh I really don't even know where to start.
