I would disagree with getting a Plc versus getting a pic micro controller . I
use picaxe chips which come preloaded with a boot loader and there is a free
programmer available. Picaxe chips come in various sizes. The one I use the
most is the 18m2 which are as cheap as 4.95 each.
I recently updated on ja4 and issue with jog in world mode is still present.

Greetings
I'm told I need a pic controller for this and the engineer where I work
says he'll put it all together and program it, but I need to find it and buy
it first.
Any help I can get on this will be greatly appreciated.
I suspect there is a misunderstanding as what you say sounds high

One way:

O100 ENDWHILE

I would put a while loop and check the switch (or even for stock feed)

Sorry for posting late to this one, but I think a big off putting issue

Although LCNC could be made to do work, as a theatrical lighting

there are plenty of hackable devices out there that can work. True, a

Not quite wasted I don't think, because the extra power gives you more
acceleration which is important for keeping your speed up on corners and
smaller arcs for plamsa cutting.

Ted,
That was some awesome information.
The engineer I'm working with says it doesn't matter to him what I find to
control the lights and other bits, I just have to do the leg work and find it.
I'm liking the DMX compatible device you mention, and could use some guidance
on what to purchase.
