    MACH3 - 4-axis Controller - Thermocouple at IN1

    Good evening Gentlemen,



    I would like to receive Data from the incoming channel IN1.

    For this purpose, I would like to manipulate the regular DLL-files

    of the official open-source program of MACH3.

    In addition, I would like to write my own c-code for receive DATA

    from IN1.

    For this purpose:

    I need the addresses from the relevant DLL-file, at least I must open

    the DLL-files first.

    Is it a must to enable the IN1 or the controller board before I can

    grab the Data per "bulk transfer"?

    Now is the status of my controller board: the red light is flushing.


    Is there any fundamental support for doing this?



    Best regards

    Hi,
    why bother? Mach3 is nearly obsolete, all development ceased on it seven years ago.
    Mach3 sort of grew or evolved over a period of years and as a consequence its internal structure is pretty mixed up, you fix one thing
    only to find that you have broken something else.

    Mach4 is light years ahead, and it was 'designed' rather than 'evolved'. If you sign a Non Disclosure Agreement with NFS then you can get all the inside gen on Mach4
    and write your own plugin for whatever hardware device you want.
