Outputs are latched under normal control so I would have thought Brains did the same.  I could be wrong as I do not use Brains much.

I take it latched means once turned on, it also needs turned off, because that seems fo be the issue i have ?

Latched is locked into a fixed state until forced to change.  So my guess is you need to toggle the state in the brain or force a state to make sure you have the state you need.

Thats what i figured, and also what im having a hard time doing.  I will keep working at it.  I wrote some that i thought would work but they did not 🤔.

I am not an expert at Brains, not needed to use them much but this is what I think should work.

I tried one similar and it seemed to only use the greater than or less than condition, but ill give it another shot and see what happens, thanks for the suggestion.

I gave that a try, still no luck.  I would think such a small task would be simple.  Not sure what im missing.

i tried yours, but you used 143 encoder count 3.  I used 170 encoder count 0 I believe.
That was the dro input number I found to correspond with the z axis DRO in the mach 3 settings tab.   The brain I built is identical to yours other than that.  The less than or greater than statements work fine as i toggle the DRO above or below the Z position, but when the encoder count, and z position match, I do not get the Encoder Count = Z position to work.  Where in mach 3 does 143 encoder count 3 correspond to?
