Any of the Mach VB guru's know if Mach can now recieve data on the rs232 port?

I know it's possible to send with SendSerial command, but did Rx ever get implemented?

Wayne....

Nope

Thats a real shame..   I could be able to do so much more with my homebrew PLC if I could pass verbose messages back to Mach.

I guess I'll have to continue using an input for Acknowlage which has it's drawbacks.

Wayne....

If you set up to run over modbus you can do it

So if I want to set my VFD by serial command I can only send the command and I can't receive the reply.

If you set up to run over modbus you can do it

Yes I know about that archaic Modbus Protocol    Maybe I'll go that route unless something better comes along.

It's just I have a simple PIC based I/O controller that costs next to nothing to make (<$10) , has as much I/O as you could wish for and can be programmed in Basic.

Is there any reason in particular that RS232 Rx is not supported?

Wayne....

No just that we are done working on new stuff for mach3 and are now working on Quantum. Mach3 is finished other then bug fixes
