users.

14. Remappable Codes 14.1. Existing codes which can be remapped
The current set of *existing* codes open to redefinition is:

That rather depends on how Mach3 is controlling the gantry.
Is this a gantry with a motor at each end? If so,
Hi Aram.
I was not exactly right before.
You have to use M67 Synchronized Analog Output that will allow you to
activate up to 16 analog output values (default AO number is 4 from 0 to 3 )
.
The Hal pins related to M67 are floating point type and their names are:
motion.analog-out-00
why not use the simple M3 M4 M5 codes for start stop ,
is this for 3d printing or pick and place ?
you could use a macro to do switching on and off or running code

I've been quoted for a stainless steel keyboard from a chinesse
