I have a new eight-station tool turret I wish to add to my Orac lathe, whilst I am competent at electronics and wiring I know zero about programming.
I think I need a macro to operate the turret!! The instructions that came with the turret says it requires an input pulse of 0v for two seconds to operate, (that is when normally 5v) and a 5v output pulse for 4 seconds to show status (when normally 0v)
I also need advise on configuring to Mach, I am guessing setting up Ports and Pins. I fitted a CNCfor PC breakout board to operate the lathe.
I assume the G code instruction would be M6 T1 to 8
Any advice and help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
