Hello everyone.

I need yours help .

I started make machine for stacking electronics, pick and place machine, but can not find a program that would support the use of LPT ports for communication .

I see that some use Mach 3 with VB scripts to start the machine, I must say  unfortunately really do not know anything, so if you would like to have someone to help me to understand how it works and how to use it.

If have  anyone who wants to help, let them come on this topic I would tell him what would all supposed to be doing with the machine, and all other information you need to start to be able to show me what needs doing.

Thanks

I'll try to describe how the program should work .

Position information of the components using the program eagle 5.6.0 or some of new version .

That look like this :
Part name       X position    Y position     A position (angle )       Part housing  ( part dimension )
LD1               56.54         69.23            330                          61-23RGBC/TR8 PLCC6
LD2               43.87         69.33            30                            61-23RGBC/TR8 PLCC6
LD3               61.97         78.95            330                          61-23RGBC/TR8 PLCC6
LD4               49.93         81.18            0                              61-23RGBC/TR8 PLCC6
LD5               38.31         78.88            30                            61-23RGBC/TR8 PLCC6
R1                 76.05         87.15            147                          R1206
R2                 24.00         87.15            215                          R1206
R3                 7.10           35.45            290                          R1206
R4                 50.30         4.65              2                             R1206

Now we take that each of these components is different and that is a feeder to another place, and the program runs to the sea every time you pick up a component on this line at the second position .

Something like this :

 feeder 1 /  feeder 2 / feeder 3 / feeder 4 / ........  feeder 30 /
