IF I read what you are doing right here is want you need.

ActivateSignal(OUTPUT1)     ' Activate output
While Ismoving()
Wend

While IsActive(INPUT1)= False    'Wait for the done signal
Sleep(20)
Wend

DeactivateSignal(OUTPUT1)   ' Deactivate Output

Nope no sense at all, (;-) You need to post teh entire script

Which sleep are you referreing to there are 2.

What I see from your piece of script is

You activate output1
Start a wait loop and sleep for 1.1 sec then continue
End the loop

Start another wait loop based on teh state of input1  IF not active then loop and
Sleep 50 ms between each loop .

When it finally sees teh signal from input1 then deactivate output1

You need to ask Warp9 about it. The ESS itself handles the limits function.

One thing to double check is HOW you have teh Ohmic setup for this code to run correctly it must be setup as a Probe input not a Home input. You need to check your setup . IF it is useing teh Home input You need to tweeek the code to use G28.1 instead of teh G31.

OK your new M3 will look like this.  You could put DROs on teh screen to be able to set teh variables from teh screen


'M3 Macro
SwitchOffset = .110
PierceHeight = .080
PierceDwell = 1
SafeZ = .500
CutHeight = .060
'********************************
Code"Z" & SafeZ      'Goto a safe Z height
Code"G90"
Code"G31 Z-1 F30"  'Probe for the surface
While Ismoving()
Wend
Code"G91
Code"G0 Z" & SwitchOffset      ' Apply the switch offset
Code"G90"
Code"G92 Z0.000"   'Set Z to Zero at Material Surface
Code" G91"
Code"G0 Z"  & PierceHeight   ' Move to pierce height
Code"G90"
While Ismoving()
Wend
DoSpinCw()        'Torch on
Code" G04 P" & PierceDwell    ' Add pierce Dwell
Code"G0 Z" & CutHeight        ' Lower to cut height
End


AND teh M5 would look like this

DoSpinStop()
SafeZ = .500
Code"G91
Code"G0 Z" & SafeZ    ' Raise Z to safe Z height
Code"G90"
End

General Mach Discussion / Re: Can all 3 of my homing switches share one pin in Mach 3?

Home off is NOT what you think it is. The Home routine automatically backs off teh switch on it's own.

Do you work in Metric or Inches ??

Can you post your current M3 and M5 code ?
