ok now i got the Problem.

do not use an OEMTrigger as Terminator of the brain.
use the OEMButton itselve as Terminator.

it is called "Buttonpress" in Brains if you create the Terminator.

a G28 is nothing else then a move to specified home Position (Config->Homing/Limits) in machine coords.

if axis are given with G28 (G28 Z10) it will first move to the given Point and the to specified Position.

i have seen in your Video that you are using:

G91 G28 X0 Y0 Z0 in this case the given values are useless because G91 incremental but distances are 0.

if you have defined Z homepos (Config->Homing/Limits) to 0 it would be the same like G53 Z0

and it Looks like your Z0 is hitting the Limit Switch. you can try to define a -0,2 for Z just for a test.

Looks like the connextors on right lower Corner are for step/dir

Step - 5V - Dir -5V  if you look from the right to the left.

inside M6Start macro you have to read new toolnumber like this:

Code: [Select]

newtool = GetSelectedTool() ' get the newtool

and then:

Code: [Select]

DoPulses newtool

soemthing like this might work:

Code: [Select]

Global Const IndexOutput = OUTPUT1
Global Const TriggerOutput = OUTPUT2

Sub Main()
'do 4 pulses
DoPulses 4
End Sub



'subroutine to generate pulses an trigger
Sub DoPulses(Pulses As Integer)
'generate the pluse
For i = 1 To Pulses
ActivateSignal(IndexOutput)
Sleep(200)
DeActivateSignal(IndexOutput)
Sleep(200)
Next i
'generate the trigger
ActivateSignal(TriggerOutput)
Sleep(200)
DeActivateSignal(TriggerOutput)
Sleep(200)

End Sub

ich könnte mir vorstellen, das der RPM prescaler was damit zu tun hat. Habe aber selber keinen ESS.
Ich hab mir das auf der warp9 homepage mal alles durchgelesen, irgendwie werde ich das Gefühl nicht los,
das es nur mit einem Drehgeber gehen wird. Das sollten aber die Jungs vom Warp9 Support beantworten können.
