Meanwhile I appreciate greatly, If you could clarify this sensor issue for me.
The codes that I posted before, is it going to do the Job? Do I need to add more lines?
Could you direct me to some sample codes on this matter?

hello Johnansaro,

please dont missunderstand be, but i realy don't know (check) witch sensor issue i should clarify
the code you have posted will only do the following:

input4 i s on -> stop spindle (M5)

sorry i did not catch witch "Job" should do

i do not know anything about your spindle,
but normaly there is a pneumatic valve for lock/unlock the tool,
and some Switches for tool locked and tool unlocked.

these switsches are noramly going to mach3 Inputs and then they have
to be controlled by M6 macro witch handles the ATC.

if you are VB Scripter Window you can use file -> save as -> choose filetype compiled code

the the macro is precompiled and mot changeable any more (with normal Texteditor)

but you have to take care of the source files.

Engraversoflight
You hit the nail on the head.
My machine pc runs mach3 with XP on it and thats it.
I need a new download for the new win10 laptop as well as for a new machine pc.

good luck, never touch a running system
