I have Mach3 parallel to a Bob Campbell BOB. I am using a Vista CNC pendant Parallel port to Mach.
The pendant connects directly to Mach through a second parallel port. The pendant has an EPO button that puts Mach into reset mode. I would like when I hit the pendant EPO that it puts mach into reset, but also will send a signal to the BOB to flip a relay and shutdown the power to the CNC spindle and steppers. BUT I dont want a press of the Mach reset button to trigger a full shutdown. I want Mach to treat the reset button and the EPO button on the pendant differently.
I am OK with with wiring and parallel port stuff, I just cannot figure out how to config Mach so that when the eStop pin from the pendant goes high, to also send a signal to the BOB - but not to send a signal when I press reset on the Mach screen.
Suggestions?
