if you make your brain you can create an easy screen with
all UserLed's and Dro's and some buttons to toggle the UserLed's
for an simple test.

great!

with OEMDro(3) you should be able to set the slow jog speed in %, i think.

what is the interface between your vision system and Mach3?

why cant you send G1 to the expected position?

if you want to do small steps, like jog in step mode
you can send a "G91 G1 X1 F10" for example

Config -> General Config -> upper right corner -> Debounce Interval

check your settings for probe input and check function in diagnostic screen first.

IMHO you have a "flickering" limit switch signal witch will not see on diagnostic screen.
you can play arround with debounce setting for test.

so if you have tested allready the read an write functions between Mach3 and your VDF's and it is working
sounds good, because this part i think is the real "Challenge".

i would make a "simple" brain for the communication.

for example :
write functions:
UserLed(1500) ON write speed1
UserLed(1501) ON write speed2
...
read functions:
read register -> limitswitch1 ON -> UserLed(1600) ON
read register -> limitswitch2 ON -> UserLed(1601) ON
read register for actual current -> write to OEMDRO
...

the complete logic i would do in VB script because it it a lot easier to test and change things
like in the brain editor. also you can directly interact with screenset button's to the UserLed's and
it will be easy to display values.

this is just my opinion how to handle this task.

for the test i use the "virtual" MPG from 1024 screenset by pressing the TAB key.

then i switch the Jog Mode to Step
choose Mode Single Step
select Cycle Jog Step with the button for example 1.0
then call M900 in MDI and it moves 1.0 mm in my case.

Hello Roy,
yes everything fine here so far, hope so on your side.
btw. witch motion controler will you use?
might be the easier way to control the two vdf's "manually".
jears ago i played arround with modbus and arduino but was never
able to get it very stable to work.
