Brains Development / Re: How to run a Brain triggered Macro.........

« on: October 17, 2012, 10:22:41 PM »

I came to this post to find a solution to my problem, anyone could help me?
I need to use a modbus signal to activate a macro which will load a gcode. I did the modbus signal and its working I have 2 different Gcode tha I want choose and load it with a command from modbus signal. I make the brain input works and even I could create a button on mach 3 screen to load the Gcode. But I couldn't make it works with modbus. Please let me know if the example I have seen like yours can control just one macro, or can it be done to 2 different macros?
Or is there anyway to make my modbus signal activate the button I add on my screen, which is openning the macro to load the Gcode?
 
Any help will be very appreciated.

thanks

thank you cncalex.
It works perfect with the brain. I'm just playing around to see if I can make the output go ON and OFF without a little stop with the gcode sequence. Maybe you have an idea. I want to make a circle and start applying glue and stop glue application at the end of the circle, and make a little arc in the same path with no glue application to compensate the inertia of the glue dispenser. But it giving a quick stop. I'd like to have it in continuos move.

thanks for your great help.
