Assign the input as a limit switch?

Hello,

Thanks for you reply.

But I think no, because I'm using Mach3 for this machine, you can watch on YouTube:

I need to stop the movement if Nail Gun is in the below, and when he back on the top the movement can be done.

So I think I should write macro to wait (sleep) until Input * is active...

But I'm wondering why there is no such thing to stop axis while G-Code is running to stop movement if button is pressed and when is realease G-Code can be resumed.....

Also I have tried to write a Brain (Input 1 -> No operation -> OEM @250 Inhibit axis movement X) but it's not working while G-Code is running.

Thanks for your answer, if you have any suggestion I will kindly accept it.

Best wishes,
Thanks!

Have the button trigger the Feedhold.

Hi,

i think you have to "split" this into two parts.

part 1 witch is in the macro what enables the nailer.
here you have to wait for the Input after the nailing something like this:

Code: [Select]

'wait for Input1
While Input1 = false
Sleep(200)
Wend


part 2 will be in macropump, and only stop X-Axis if x-Axis is running and Input1 is off

Code: [Select]

IF ((GetoemDRO(806) > 0) and (Input1 = False)) Then
  DoOEMButton(1003)
End If

anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.

Hello,

Very good idea Thomas, thanks.

Can you please explain me what are you calling "macropump" ?

IF ((GetoemDRO(806) > 0) and (Input1 = False)) Then
  DoOEMButton(1003)
End If

Thanks.

OK, no problem.

in your macrofolder (normaly  C:\Mach3\macros\yourprofilename)
should be a macro called macropump.m1s .
if not create one with Texteditor and put These code in:

Code: [Select]

Sub Main()

  IF ((GetoemDRO(806) > 0) and (Input1 = False)) Then
    DoOEMButton(1003)
  End If

End Sub


make sure that in Config -> General Config -> Run Macro Pump is enabled.
Restart Mach3

test.
