    Anybody is using the inputs on USB I/O board ( the one with the output relays)

    I have a digital part counter connected to one of the output relay of the USB I/O board.
    The counter has a relay on the output also and I would like the lathe to stop when input 1 is high or low.
    I also use the counter inside the program.

    Could somebody give me some help on using inputs and how do I program it in pathpilot.

    Thanks in advance.

    Jeff

    This is a picture of the counter I'm using

    There are examples in the USBIO manual (https://www.tormach.com/support/wpdm...all-0717a-web/). See page 5 for an example of using M66. You can check an input, wait until an input is high or low or wait until an input changes.
