Alright folks, let me detail below what I want to do. I have part of it figured out but I have not been able to figure out how to do all of the moves without loading a new file manually and how to count and display.
Here is what I want to do. I have three input switches:
I want the first switch to execute a section of gcode each time the button is pressed. I would also like to count the number of times this switch is pressed and display that count.
I want the second switch to execute a different section of gcode and reset the counter for the first switch.
I want the third switch to execute yet another different section of code.
what I am working on is a tool for punching a material and inserting the punched portions into a set of tubes. the three motions mentioned before control some critical parameters of the process. I have not figured out how to do all of the above without manually loading different code at certain times, and I would preferr to automate the process more.
any help is appreciated,
thanks
Greg
