Hi - I need to have a "CYCLE START" push button instead of having to use a mouse and click on the "CYCLE START" button on the monitor. Any one have a fix for this problem or where I can go to get info. I am using the software and stepper motors to run a machine other than a cnc mill. So I have to run a cycle, load the machine and run another cycle.

Just connect a button to an unused input pin. You assign an OEM Trigger to it in ports and pins.

Rick,

I have attached a few jpgs to explain the procedure.

1: Assign the port and pin to OEM code 1

2: Assign OEM Code 1000 to Trigger 1

3: Attach switch to appropriate pin on your breakout board "in the example pin 15"

4: finished.

Hope this helps,

Jeff....

Jeff, I think you need to also set the hotkey for the OEM trigger to match the cycle start hotkey. Right?

[jalessi]

Gerry,

I have set it up without the hotkey and it works fine however I guess you could add the hotkey code "2162"

Jeff...

[ger21]

I don't think you can type the code, you actually have to hit the key. But if it works without it, then no need to.

I didn't look at the secind image you posted. Setting the OEM code apparently does the same thing as setting the Hotkey.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for all the help. I think I can get it work now

Thanks for thinking out this one.
I updated to a touch screen, instead of adding a button.
Still really need the button though.:devious:

Added the button. Dry dusty fingers no good on touch screen.
Thanks Jeff!!

Hi guys - I am having a bit of trouble with this. This is on my small mill drill and I am using a G540 with no luck. I have tried assigning an input to input 1, 4 and oem trigger 1 using code 1000 and assigning a hot key. I am uing a new down load of mach3. As I write this I realize I have not loaded the license yet. Might be the issue. I will test that next. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ron

[ronateah]

It now works - Post #3 and a pair of glasses and it will work quite nicely

[kodalo]

Well, I have similar problem. I can add control for start, stop and feed hold using OEM trigers. But, if I use stop-start sequence I must turn on spindle manual. Feed Hold is ideal, since doesn't turn off spindle, but delay is about 2 sec. How I can change delay for Feed Hold?
In other words, I must synchronize some actuators with spindle rotation, (like threading) so spindle must works always, and X axis periodically.

I'm trying to connect a switch to ref/all by using my free input 14 trigger 1 OEM code 105. When I press the switch all I get to set is the Z axis it won't go to X and Y after, but when I press the ref/all (home) on the screen or with the keyboard everything works good. Anyone have any idea what to do to fix this problem?

Thanks

Try OEM code 138, please post your results.

[bartkuzar]

Thanks I did tried the OEM 138 and works no problem but it will just go home (x0y0z0) it won't set the coords I wonder if there is some other thing that I should do.

Thanks again Jeff

[bartkuzar]

I just wonder if anyone have tried this OEM code 105 and if was able to reference all Z,X,Y or just Z. ?

Thanks
