Greetings,
I am using MACH3 with an ESS Smooth Stepper for my router. I will be adding a digital to analog board to control the spindle speed via Mach to replace my current panel mounted POT.
Along with that change, I want to create a basic operator panel for the machine, on the panel, I plan to have the following controls:
E-Stop
Cycle start momentary switch and an LED to indicate state
Feed hold momentary switch and an LED to indicate state
Single block toggle switch and an LED to indicate state
I have integrated these types of controls in the past and don't foresee problems, however, I have tried and failed years ago trying to ad overrides.
For the overrides, I would like to use rotary encoder switches. Assuming those would work, how would I take the input from them and integrate that in MACH3?
