Can you add a timer to your brain?

Nope, macropump doesnt work like that. It either runs all the time or doesnt depending on weather or not you have it enabled in general config. Its like a script button some magic monkey is pushing for you 10 times a second (that monkey is fast too). Brains can run much faster than that and you can get yourself in a mess if you make an infinate loop and other no, nos in the macropump code.

Very Nice Jeff! You fellas make me want a laser even worser!

Disclaimer!

Warning!!! These stunts are performed by professionals, please do not try this at home!!

Just wondering, has anyone tried the back side of a mirror? Would it burn the coating off and leave it just glass? Would it reflect and burn the shop down? Would it leave the areas black and maybe you could wash off the coating and get some really neat effects? I emphasise back side here and that may be a no no. Maybe it wont work with real mirrors but would with black paint on a piece of glass?

OK, best I can tell is leds 80, 805 and 111 are associated with feedhold. Put those leds on a screen and lable them thier respective number 80,805,111 and see which one/s turn and turn off when you want your hardware light to blink/stop blinking.

Watch it/those in a brain..... and blink your hardware light based on it/those.

You cant change what the 1001 code does. You may be able to use it in script and add functrions in that script but last I played with it, it was pretty feniky. Would prefer doing the feed hold as a function and monitor those leds. I think 805 will be the one but not certain.

When I put the reading pins to pin 2 & 3 and I try to jog the voltage reading jumps from 5.18 to 5.17-5.16

Once you have that sorted set up pins 2 and 3 for the x axis motor. Put your meter leads between pins 3 and the one to the left of it 5V/G and see if you get a reading. Try jogging the x axis in both directions with your meter in place. You should see your reading change when you change directions. Look at your x axis dros in machs run screen and see if it counts up and down as you jog in different directions (right and left arrow keys jog the x axis).

I have sent you a PM

Hey Chris, Welcome to the forum!

Can you have the arduino turn an led on and off and have the script in the macropump monitor that led?

Maybe you could run the macro with a brain?
