Mach4 General Discussion / External button "Enable"

« on: May 24, 2021, 12:49:20 AM »

i add an external button to enable mach4 after pc turn on

[mc.ISIG_INPUT0] = function (state)--external button on
   if( state == 1) then              
                      
      local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
       mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, "but enable ");   
       mc.mcCntlEnable(inst,1)
           local Zbrake = mc.OSIG_OUTPUT9 
       local hsig1 = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(0, Zbrake)  ------servo on
        mc.mcSignalSetState(hsig1, 1)
        mc.mcCntlSetLastError(0, "servo on");
       local zb= mc.OSIG_OUTPUT1
       local zb11 = mc.mcSignalGetHandle(0, zb)  ------z brake
        mc.mcSignalSetState(zb11, 1)   
   end
end ,

i use the attach  even handler (quit simple i think)
but strange behaviour
1. if i try first time by button  mach4 crash
2. if i enable from mach interface first time ,then disable ,then by button work good
     even many times ,disable enable....ets its ok ,but s mention first time must be from mach, why?
thanks
