RickmColorado:
I have been trying to figure this out, with no luck. Have you figured this out to assign buttons to use as Mach 3 screen buttons?  Would appreciate if you have to help me out.  Thank you.

Hi RickmColorado

it all been taken apart, will have to try this from memory.

lets say you need to rig up a button to turn the coolant on. first, find a free pin on your 57cnc board (pin 15 for e.g)
take the wire from one side of your button and connect it to any ground pin. the wire from the other side of the button goes to pin 15.

startup Mach3, in the plugins tab select pokeys config, when running select Pokeys mapping. on the left had side you should see a list of pins, scroll down to pin 15. in the next tab (function) select input. LED tab, scroll down till you find "Flood cooling" (think its number is 013) close down Pokeys config.

On the mach3 screen find the flood coolant LED. push your button, this should turn that LED on and off.
you would then to set a relay to turn on when the LED turns on to start your pump.

hope this helps.
