That is good new please forward me any other hot key numbers I aslo tryed alt/s for input 1,( for stop) but it made the tool path come up or it ingaged the alt/4 key when it did that it gave me a odd sence of hope becouse I made input 1 do something it wasnt the something I wanted but it was nice none the less, so it might be putting in the wrong # stop aswell..

Hello,,
I am slowly learning how to use Mach3,, I need to set up an external start button for the system I am building,, I have tried input 1, enable, on pin 12, active low, hotkey atl/r or 2162,, On the diagnostic screen I can seen my input opening and closing with my palm button, but my g code wont start?
 
I have also tried your OEM triggers
#1, enable, on pin 11, active low, went into config/ systemhotkeys and set OEM trigger to 0000,
Then close pin 11 to ground and my g code dose not start,,
 
My keyboard keys will operate mach3  as in alt/r  and alt/s to start and stop..
 
what am i doing wrong?
 
thanks
Josh Learman
