General Mach Discussion / Re: OEM codes for buttons, DRO's and LED's

« on: November 04, 2012, 11:45:48 PM »

Many thanks for all that work.  It is most useful.  I'm hoping you can assist with helping ID the Port 1 and 2 pins.  There are LED's on the Diagnostics screen (12 for Port 1 and 12 for Port 2) but they are not identified as to which pins the LED's match.  The OEM codes are sequential, Port 1 has #137 through #148 and Port 2 has #149 through 160.

I've identified only the following and hope you or someone else can help with the others:

137 ???
138 ???
139 ???
140 - Port 1, Pin 15:  A "Home" on my machine
141 - Port 1, Pin 13:  Z "Home" on my machine
142 - Port 1, Pin 12:  Y "Home" on my machine
143 - Port 1, Pin 10:  E Stop
144 - Port 1, Pin 11:  X "Home" on my machine
145 ???
146 - Port 1 Pin 16 or Pin 17? Not sure which
147 - Port 1 Pin 16 or Pin 17? Not sure which
148 ???
149 Port 2 Pin ???
150 Port 2 Pin ???
151 Port 2 Pin ???
152 Port 2 Pin ???
153 - 160 are Port 2 Pins 2-9 if enabled as inputs

Thanks for any assistance

General Mach Discussion / Parameter Definitions

« on: February 28, 2011, 12:40:28 AM »

The Mach3 manual (Fig. 10.1) identifies the uses of Parameters #5161 through #10306.  Can anyone advise whether any of the numbers below #5131 are in use or are they all available?  In particular, I'd like to know where Mach3 stores the current number of the loop parameter (eg. M98 P1000 L5).  Clearly the program indexes a register and acts differently when it gets to 5.  I could simplify my code if I could check the value of that register to select subroutines.
