My first post here.
I have built a Plasma table from scratch which works well.
I am now adding some extra functionality to it.
It uses a UC400ETH notion controller.
I wish to add a custom button to my mach screen.
I am using the spindle relay on my breakout board to trigger my plasma, I would like that when the custom button is clicked another output operates whenever the spindle does.
Reason for this, I have mounted a visible laser to the plasma torch and i want the laser to operate instead of the plasma cutter, giving a visual 'Dry run'.
I know I can do this with a mechanical switch but I would like to use Mach3 to control it.
I have used Machscreen to add a button and then I assume I need to write a brain or some VB to complete the task.
If someone could point me in the right direction I'd very much appreciate it.
