THIS IS CODE NOW....

[mc.ISIG_INPUT10] = function (state) --Anytime the state of input 1 changes, run this function
    if (state == 1) then --Input one is active
        CycleStart() --Run the CycleStart() function
    --else --Input one is inactive
        --mc.mcCntlFeedHold (0) --Do a feed hold
    end

end,

SO I WANT SOMETHING LIKE THIS AN I KNOW THIS ISNT RIGHT BUT JUST SO YOU CAN SEE MY IDEA OF WHAT I WANT...

[mc.ISIG_KEYSTROKE F1]= function (state) --Anytime the state of input 1 changes, run this function
    if (state == 1) then --Input one is active
        CycleStart() --Run the CycleStart() function
    --else --Input one is inactive
        --mc.mcCntlFeedHold (0) --Do a feed hold
    end

end,

ALSO I KNOW there is keyboard functions in keyboard plugin but there jog functions no cycle starts or any other button functions that i could see

Hi,
Daz's video shows how to use the PC keyboard, it is that keyboard for which the Keyboard plugin that ships with Mach applies.

It does not apply to an auxiliary keypad, such a keypad would require its own plugin.
