General Mach Discussion / Re: code for a repeat single axis driller

« on: January 08, 2016, 04:45:56 PM »

I am using a Mach 3 program and a controller from CNC router parts that has 3 outputs and 3 inputs. The out puts will trigger a 24v AC valve that will actuate the driller. The signal needs to be momentary so the drillers can cycle and return to the rest position. The drillers will then send a signal via a proximity switch to the controller to move the puller to the next position - where it will signal the driller and repeat the signal .

General Mach Discussion / code for a repeat single axis driller

« on: January 08, 2016, 03:34:58 PM »

Having trouble getting the code to work. Using Mach3
Basically want the start with an input to the driller - then when the driller finishes signal the stepper to move the desired amount then signal the driller to drill and so forth - usually a set repeat.
Controller has 3 outputs and inputs...
Can get it to cycle and dwell for a short time but send or receive the signal.

any ideas - new to the g-code stuff but have some experienced help..
