Mach4 General Discussion / Re: add instance to mach4
« on: April 17, 2022, 04:03:42 AM »
Hi,
the 'instance' refers not to the Gcode but to Mach. Mach4 was always intended to run multiple instances.
For example you might have one instance running a three axis mill, a second instance running the sub spindle for a mill-turn machine, and yet a a third instance
to run the automatic pallet changer.
With such a machine you need to specify which of the several instances your code applies to.
To my knowledge multiple instances are not available publicly yet....but one day.
