Open it up in "Brain Editor"

Five minuets playing around with that and you will know more than I do about it.  ;D

In my fiddling with it I have discovered something which you might be finding too.

On Mach startup the brain all works fine.  And I can watch it in "View Brain" no problems.

But if I "Reload Brain" and do not restart Mach it will play up.  And show in "View Brain" much the same as you are describing.

In the Artsoft Video it says you do not need to restart Mach but maybe that is incorrect.

Whatda

With using the EEE I presume you are not running off an LPT

Are you using a SmoothStepper or some other external device?

I've had a go of one of those Exitech routers.  It had a DSP controller.

Have you ditched the DSP or did it come with PC control from the start?

With the brain we are obviously the blind leading the blind.

I probably should not have stuck my nose in.  Sorry about that.  :D

I have been playing around with it on my machine and it seems to work as expected including the delay.

If you are not fussed about the switch delay then I would ditch the brain altogether.

Every other safety thing the brain is doing can easily be incorporated into the macropump if needed.

OK try this brain.  This one I tested on my machine. Works consistently.  :D

Also that Tool Zero macro that you are using has a delay in it.  Be better if that was taken out.

Two delays built in to the one routine is confusing.

Change this line,  Code "G4 P2" ' two second delay

To this,  Code "G4 P0.1" ' short delay

Glad it is working but I must have made a mistake in the brain timer.

Here is a new brain try it.

Greg

Yeah that should be it.

Put the macropump along with the two macros named as we said into the macro folder.

The brain into the brain folder.  Enable the brain under Brain Control.

Activate macropump in General Config.

That's the easy bit.  :)

Most people I help have most trouble getting their switches set up to inputs on their BoB.

Don't worry about the LEDs and DROs.

They do not exist as far as the screen is concerned.

They are just like a variable within Mach.  You never need to see them.

Mach will see them just fine even if they are not graphically represented on screen.

More polite way of saying "Taking the Piss"

If your so old should you not be in bed.  It is late.   ;D ;D

Seriously though, I for one appreciate all the help you give here and on other forums.
