just been playing with your code since I cant get mine working set to num keys you are right about it working if in estop or not, something I found is set some jog keys and see what happens when in estop or not

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Lua Signal Table

« on: May 18, 2015, 07:02:45 PM »

right it goes like this.

SignalTable = {001,                                  --your sig table number goes here it compiles and runs like this
     [mc.ISIG_INPUT0] = function (on_off)
        if (on_off == 1) then
            mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst)             --name of button command
        end
    end
}

I think this is now correct if I am wrong someone comment please.

the only problem now when I run the other part of the code it cant find the signal table.

this is the other part

if (SignalTable[sig] ~= nil) then   --I think sig is the number of the table
SignalTable[sig](state)                --I think state is (on_off) or on_off == 1) like I have it below
end

if (SignalTable[001] ~= nil) then
SignalTable[001](on_off)
end
