Trying to figure out if mach is the right choice. Tldr in bold^^
Not exactly a hobby mill i'm running its a fast cutting machine (F15000) with a toolchanger...
Because of a limited step frequency (125khz) of the controller i'm using (EdingCnc) I'm considering switching to Mach3/4 on a VitalSystem DSPMC 7762 controller.
I would need to control mach from an external cam like program though.
I can alter that program if needed (c++).
I want mach just to launch on startup(thats no problem) sit in the background shut up and execute gcode when it recieves it.
The way I achieved this on the EdingCnc controller...
EdingCnc watches for filechange on a specified path.
When it detects a filechange you have the option in setup that it refreshes and starts execution immediately.
Is that possible with mach? If not i'll have to write something like mach for the DSPMC 7762 T.T (would take a while)
Or any tips on a real time fast controller which is highly configurable? DSPMC seemed to be the closest, idk what a siemens costs or if it is better.
Also is there some conditional statement that can't be realized with macros?Is it burdensome to use?
