If I use the inputs like his macro my feedback is defferent to his in other words my hardwirring is different to his.That is why I use those inputs.

Pin numbers wont make a difference as long as the macro is looking at the same OEM Triggers.
 I am messing with some VB and so far it looks promising but I will do the rest before I post it for you to try, might take me a while but you never know, I am getting better :D

Oh meant to say I have the macro set for Inputs rather than Triggers as I could see the LEDs on the standard lathe screen. You will need to set it up as inputs, either that or let me know and I will change the macro to look at the OEM Triggers if you wish.

Glad to hear that CJ.
 I had a look at the macro late last night and noticed I had it set to give an error message if the tool called for was greater than 12, you might want to change that to 8. The reason I had 12 there is I wrote one for Panaceabeachbum a while back and I copied the first few lines from his to save me typing them out, forgot however to change it from 12 to 8 :(
 Grahams macro is much more elegant in the way it does things and looking at it I just cant see why it doesnt work, hopefully Graham will see this and chime in.

I dont really know, there are a few things posted in the wikis and I think I once saw something on the downloads page but I have never been able to make anything of them, just trial and error for me, thats why it takes me so long to do things :D
