This looks great I'm just not sure where to put what value. In the variables section it looks like it's looking for an input To trigger this as opposed to M code. Then it says "local hReg = 0 " is that where I would put the output that I want to turn on?

Could someone modify that example to show where you would put the M code that would activate it and the output that you are triggering?

For example if this was triggered by m120 and turned on output number 5 for 3 seconds.

Thanks for the continued help KingKerf

dan
function m120() --Save the name of the Signal (as stored inside of Mach4)
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance() --Get the instance of Mach4
ActivateSignalTime = 5000 --Time in milliseconds that we want the signal to be active.
local hReg = mc.OSIG_OUTPUT0 --The handle to the signal  OUTPUT0  = output 0 if you wonted output 5 you would have mc.OSIG_ OUTPUT5
-----------------------------

hReg = mc.mcIoGetHandle(inst, IOName)
if hReg == 0 then
   wx.wxMessageBox("Could not locate signal!")
else
   local rc = mc.mcIoGetState(hReg)
   if rc == 1 then --If rc equals 1, then the signal is active.
      wx.wxMessageBox("Signal is already active!")
   else --If rc does not equal 1, then the signal is not active.
      mc.mcIoSetState(hReg, true) --Activate a signal.
      wx.wxMilliSleep(ActivateSignalTime) --Sleep for the commanded time (so that the output stays on as long as we want).
      mc.mcIoSetState(hReg, false) --Set the state of the signal back to false.
   end
end

being like that to a community forum you will get what.

for a start more info, some pic`s and squire it first. doing it in software will only get you so far, is the X axis squire to the Y axis just sitting there on the right and left side.

also is it calibrated. check all that and post back
