Pardon my ignorance, but I am slowing getting my setup to work.
I have known about Mach3 for years, but I have been running an old DOS based package that I bought years and years ago, but after having to get an old machine to once again run Dos, think it may be time to switch, but I have a question.
I am initially trying to get it to replicate Yeager Automation CNCPro, in particular the following if I can.
The old software has several Function keys that drove output pins as well as using G-code such as M03, M08 etc.
For instance 'Function 5' will toggle an output for me that is spindle clockwise on and off so same as M03 and M05 in the program.
Now there is a radio button for this (Plasma), so I can check the plasma arc on and off with the radio button, all good.
But I could do with a radio button to the main screen to turn on Flood cooling and turn it off again the same as M08 and then M09 in a program.
Is there a way of doing this?
The reason for this in my case was M08 turned on the stepper control board and M09 turned it off. At the moment i am using Enable, but it is on when running Mach3 and I can not find the way to enable/disable from the keyboard.
have I missed something.
Cheers
Adrian
