Hello..

Trying to get some things setup a bit more now that I have most of my gantry built.

Anyway, I have movement in mach and can jog. So wanted to hook up some form of estop input. Figured that would be easy enough.

I wired in my limit switches to trigger the optoical I/O - 0 (zero) on the kanalog board. I can see in the k CNC setup that I can toggel this check on and off. So I know my connection and switches are working.

says on the screen this is bit #136.

So figured I could go into ports and pins (in mach) and setup estop on pin 136. But when I enter this number for that apply and ok. Then go back in the value in the pin for the estop field changes to -120

So wondering how this is done or rather if the opto inputs can be tied to mach?

Anyone with some sample mach C setup code would also be great and could send that to me to look at.

Think I found the answer. Configure it as port 2 and deduct 128 from the bit number (and use latest plugin).. Will give it a try.

I guess, shall be 136 - 120 = 16
So, you need to use in Mach - Port2   Pin16
