need help with mach4 programs
« on: March 26, 2020, 04:53:18 AM »
Greetings, 
would anybody be interested to write some program for mach4 against payment?
I have made a machine with servos, and tool changer 12 tools.
What would I need:

-start stop buttons (with lights)
-tool length script
-tool change (communication with siemens logo also if skilled you can also write the siemens logo script)
-light tower
-some pop-up windows (pump running, tray closed)
-manual tool change (an on-screen button for manual tool change )

I don't know if such posts are allowed. If not it can be removed.
Anybody interested please let me know.

Best regards

Thanks for the answer. I will describe to you how my tool changer works or how should it work.
I have 2 stepper motors for rotating the 12 tools.  And one stepper motor for moving the arm that passes the mill tool holder.
The machine must tell me that it's safe for siemens to move and which tool does it need.
I am also using a CSMIO controller for the machine motion.
