I have kbd48cnc keyboard, and on my control panel I also have external cycle start and feed hold buttons.

When I assign the oem code 1000 to cycle start button on pin 38 the cycle start button stops working on kbd48cnc, and same with feed hold. Is there a way to have both working?

Appreciate the help,

Hi

We will check that and make it work. Both should work, but they might be 'fighting' each other at the moment.

Thanks, that would be really nice

There is a simple fix. Use the 'inverted' option in the mapping settings. It will also activate the function as soon as you depress the button (assuming you have connected it between PoKeys pin 38 and GND).

Finally got around to testing the set up, still not working, with invert checkbox checked only the external button is working

Any resolutions for this? Really need to get this working.

Thanks,

Hi,
link the  kbd48cnc buttons to a user led instead to cycle start / feed hold
lets say when you press cycle start ULED 2000 turned on
the same thing with your external button, lets say ULED 2001

now create a brain thats  doing a cycle start when one of or both went on.

Or just wire the external button to the same pin to kbd48cnc button ( if that is possible )

just a thought

ha! if I would only be smart enough to do that, will give it a try later today when i'm in the shop. Tho I do have an question, would this introduce any kind of lag/delay?

Ok.., just tried making a brain, and I clueless at this, any way you could walk me thru what I need to do?

Screenshot attached, is this what I need to do?

Yes, I think its about 100 ms

take care the user led that you intend to use is not used for other operations.
