    Part Counter

    I'm using Flashcut to manufacture repetitive part. I'm trying to create a part counter to warn the user when it is time to replace/sharpen the tool. We are starting the program by pressing an external button that plugs into the flashcut controller- is it possible to programatically trap that input (by vb or C++) so that it can be counted in a seperate application that sits on the desktop?

    I know you can make a part counter using parametric programming on a regular cnc control using a stored variable, I'm not sure if it would work with Flaschcut.
