My mill has two buttons, one is a green one and another is red. The way I would like to use them is as "Play" and "Pause". As follows:
* If a program is not running, or is suspended, green button starts it. * If a program is running, green button has no effect. * If a program is running, red button suspends it. * If a program is not running, or is suspended, red button has no effect. In other words, I want to use them as Play and Pause buttons, like on a VCR. I also have another button that I want to use as "do one G-code instruction" button. When pressed, one G code instruction will be executed and then execution will stop. Am I on the right track with this logic and if so, what sorts of Axis elements should I use? I am finally able to work on them because I removed a shipload of unused wiring from the pendant arm and can deal with extra wiring without the horrid mess of 100+ other wires that were in the arm. This is because the old control was in the pendant, but the PC with EMC will be in the main cabinet. Also, for simplicity, for these extra signals, I wants to use a Cat6 cable, because of its compactness. There is no problems with those wires twisted together, right? (I am using PPMC). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
