Hi all
Has anyone got an external reset button working that emulates the on-screen reset button?
I've got the E-STOP set up and working fine. But can't seem to find the right pin to connect my external switch too, to trigger the reset.
Any help much appreciated.
I don't think there is an external hardware pin pre-defined for this.
You might need to hack the HAL and the bindings for commands to make the controller recognize your external button.
You can use whatever free input for that.
Chris Meyers is just bringing this hand-held console to market so you might want to check with him and see if he is interested in implementing a version with a reset button. I'm curious, though, why not just use the Rest "button" on the touch screen?

I ordered one for my mill and it should be shipping in a day or two. The price seems reasonable. I do a lot of prototypes and one-offs so would really like a "Stop" button in my hand when running a new program.Quote:

The E-stop and feed and spindle over rides would be nice though. For those functions is not as ergonomic especially with messy hands trying to move a slider on touch screen. Hopefully Tormach leaves this guy alone and doesn’t mess with PP to thwart. Not saying they will but you never know.

Paul,
I am not expecting any issues with PP, and my hand hand held console is using the same communication protocol as the Operators Console that Tormach offers. I am looking at taking the override knob functionality and spinning it off as an independent product for those that love their Shuttle pendant, but want toe
Yes, just posted how to do it.
I've been using the MadeWithCNC pendant for a while now ever since my Tormach Shuttle stopped responding consistently to axis selection with the result that I ran my Haimer at speed into the work instead of raising it up. Takes a bit of getting used to, but I like it. The developer has released a new version with a vertical arrangement and I just ordered one of those for my 15L lathe.
Is the communication protocol for the Operator's Console documented anywhere?Quote:
