Thanks for the post Ray,,
So you think the board is ignoring my M11 P4, M11 P9, output commands?,, could it be the bleed down resistors?

thanks

I am progressing slowly,, I changed the state my output pins are in to active low and hit apply and OK and there condition changed,, IE my LEDS lit up
So my smooth stepper is working the outputs, but is ignoring them in my Gcode?? I feel like I am missing an enable button some where

still working

Bread boarding a smooth stepper,, First the things working,, X axis signals pin 2 and 3  fine, spindle signals pin 4 and 5 Good, both set to port 1.  Input good, oem triggers working, inputs on port 1.  Now the bad,, no output signals,, none,, even when I change the active low setting the pins has no response, my outputs are enabled and set to Port 1.. whats up any ideas ??

I and using a handy c11 Multifunction brakeout board from cnc4pc.

thanks

General Mach Discussion / M code for Pause?

« on: April 03, 2008, 04:45:40 PM »

Is there a M code for Pause, cannot use M0 M1 sense they require a start button push

I am trying to pause my system and then start it again using oem code 1005 resume. I cant use a oem start command sense this button will most allways be pressed.

thanks
Josh

I posted last time

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Have 3 machined running Mach 3 and they all do this.  When pressing an external start button My spindle comes on as it is suppose to, but some times I get a momentary output on output #1 It lasts for maybe .5 seconds. If I cycle the maching using the on screen start button it never dose this. I have try ed changing the pin# and the output #, ran shielded wire to my start button, and it still dose it. Here is my G code program it is very simple

M11 P4  -----> this one too will blink on for just a .1 of a second this is my machine on 
G1 X -00.010 Y00.00000 Z00.00000 F030.0
M11 P1   ------> This is the output, it turn on at the same time as the spindle and stays on .5 seconds then shuts off and then turns back on
