using inputs to run code
« on: November 11, 2014, 12:55:06 AM »
hi guys,

I'm kind of new to this so sorry if I'm not clear,
I have a machine set up with two working stations, and i would like to have two different gcodes run on the the different stations,
I need a to write a code that will choose what part of the g-code to run based on operator input,
in simple words, I have "input1" and "input2" and depending on witch one is active I want the machine to run a specific part of my gcode.
I would prefer not to use vb since I have run into quite a bit of problems while using vb.

thank you all for your help.

ACtually VB Is fine for things like this in mach3. Just don't mix the VB and gcode in the same macro. Use the VB to load a file based on the input then the Machine will run the Gcode native.
